Happy New Year!

I can't believe Christmas break is over. School starts back bright and early in the morning. Christmas was wonderful with just the four of us and then we had a great time getting together with my family for New Years. We especially had a good time for New Years Eve, it was just like when I was growing up, there was a pot luck at my parents church and then we sat around playing cards and games until midnight. It was the first time in a long time I have even been awake when the new year came in, much less having fun at the same time.

I am not really one to make a lot of new years resolutions. I did join Weight Watchers on Wednesday though, not so much because it is the new year, but because I am turning 40 this year. I lost about 40 lbs in 2006 which was about 15 lbs away from my goal weight, then when I had my foot surgery with the holidays mixed in, I gained about 10 lbs back. I blame it entirely upon some candied jalapenos a certain someone introduced me to, wow, spread some cream cheese on a Ritz with about three of these babies on top and, whew, deeeliiiicious!!!!! I went through several rolls of Ritz crackers, let me put it that way. Happy 2007 to everyone!!

Sarah, over at Cleft of the Rock, will be offering "Fitness Fridays" and I found her article this Friday to be very inspiring with some good advice.
