Hey guys, I am back again.  All the family has left to go home and now I am left with the mess and destruction it the wake!  LOL!!

No, actually its very quiet around here and I miss them terribly.  The house is not that bad but I am glad for dirty clothes and dishes just so I have something to keep me busy until I head back to work Monday.  Its good to know I will see them again in March when they come home for a visit but its sure hard to tell your big sis goodbye for any amount of time when I see her so little as it is.  But we had a really great Christmas and I am thankful for that.

What I am not thankful for?  Almost 20 extra pounds.  Yes, you did not misread that…I said 20.

I am not really sure its all *true* weight as that means I gained almost 11 pounds in one week.  But I am not gonna lie to you, I ate…alot.  Everything we did had to do with food and more of it.  My stomach has been so sick because of all the rich and fattening foods.  I have steadily been gaining since Thanksgiving so that means 18 pounds in a month.  That makes me sounds like a complete and total pig.

But I did it and cant do anything about it now but get back on track and lose it.  It does make me mad some that I allowed myself to go so nuts over a holiday but with my grandfather passing the stress level was double timing me.  I am really looking forward to the new year so that I can once and for all get to goal.  And to think I was only 1 pound away before Thanksgiving.  If I hadnt played around so much during the fall months I would have been at goal by the first of October.

But again, I am not gonna dwell on all that now because it wont do me a bit of good.  So I am putting on my chaps, grabbing the reins and getting back in the saddle again.  January and February are long, cold boring months around here and I can easily be at goal by Valentines Day or shortly there after.  I have got to set myself some exericse goals and stick with them and not play around anymore. 

My sis will be home on March 6th and I plan to have this all off plus maybe 5 more so that I can have a little leeway when she comes in, in case we go out to eat or something like that.  And even though I know we are just starting our winter season here in the deep south I am already looking forward to spring and getting back outside for my walks.

Hope everyone is still in the Christmas spirit and enjoying themselves!
