I hope each and everyone of you had a very happy holiday this year. I got to spend time with my family and relax. As much as I love this time of year I am happy that it is coming to an end so I can get my routine back. I got some Nike spinning tennis shoes from Santa, I'll let you know how they work after spin class on Saturday.
The other day I was looking in the mirror and I got a glimpse of the woman I am becoming. I know I've lost a lot (not enough) weight and its really starting to show. It makes me so excited that I can't stand it. I went shopping this weekend with some gift cards I had gotten and got a pair of size 18 dress pants. That hasn't happened in a LONG time :)
I'm still hovering around 227lbs for the past two weeks. But come 2007 I'm going to be back on track. I'll try to post some of my goals and game plan for the new year.
Although I don't think it's going to be right for me at this time I encourage all of you to sign up for The Deep End of the Pool. The only reason I am not doing it is because I will be gone for three weeks in January. But this group was very VERY supportive for the past 12 weeks and I lost a total of 27lbs during the challenge.
Time to come up with my New Year Resolutions!!!

I'm working hard for the money
So this past week I worked approximately 60 hours and I'm feeling the affects. I have HUGE amount of work to do in a very SHORT period of time.
In other news I have exactly one month till my vacation. It's not a typical vacation but two of my friends and I are going on a Missionary trip to Belize. We are going to be building a house and other community service type stuff in Belize City. It will be a very welcome break in my work schedule.
I am still doing pretty good on my workout schedule. I didn't go this morning because I was so tired but I'm going to attempt to go to a pilates class tonight at the gym. If I can get there early I may try to get in 30mins of cardio before. I'm not going to pressure myself for the next two weeks. My goal is to be 225lbs before 2007. I know I can do it :)

Pilates
So tonight my roommate and I are going to Pilates class again. This will be the 4th time I've gone in the past two weeks and I love it. After the first time I was sooooo sore but that is getting better. I'm using muscles I don't normally use which is always a good thing.
If anyone who is reading this is a bit intimated by Pilates I definitely encourage you to try it. It's a fun work out that goes by quickly. You can relax and stretch and work all of your core muscles. I'm going to try to find out how many calories are burned for an hour of Pilates...I'll try to update later!
Have a great day!

"Stop right there"
I found this while browsing the Internet this morning: The Talking Plate
Now, If I could just get a talking plate, a talking fridge, a talking microwave and a talking pantry that can all knock some sense into me I don't think I would have a problem. But somehow I doubt the plate can tell the difference between a pile of broccoli and a pile of chocolate chip cookies.

Chest cold
So I've come down with another cold. This one was given to my by my Father over Thanksgiving...Thanks Dad!
Anyway, things have been kind of slow the past week because I've been so out of it. I am really going to step my game up for the rest of the week for the exception of Wednesday night. My roommates and myself are inviting our friends over for a potluck Christmas party. I'm going to be making my Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle tonight for everyone to enjoy.
On a side note: My roommate and I tried the Pilates class at offered at our gym last week. We went once during the week and then on Saturday morning. Let me tell you my muscles haven't been that sore in a long time. I definitely think it's something I am going to add into my routine. I could feel it in my abs, butt, legs AND arms!
