The day started slow, after a restless sleep. It was snowing when I went to bed last night and still snowing when my husband came in after shoveling, around 5:30 or so. He told me that he had to use the shovel because something seemed wrong with the snow blower. What a lot of work. As I lay there thinking of how tired I was, I realized that he got up early to take care of the driveway, porch and sidewalk so the least I could do was to make his sandwich. Then I crawled back to bed for more sleep. He would need my Jeep today so I was going to be house bound and unable to go to Curves.

I didn't realize how much I would miss going to Curves, but with these blizzard conditions and two major holidays coinciding with long weekends it has been a long spell of not going. Is it the exercise? The people? Or just the freedom to go out if I want to go? My body has had subtle aches that have been absent since my regular visits to Curves and riding the stationary bike. There is one more instance of how important it is to me to get out there and go.

I suspect this is part of the reason I felt a little lower and the light is beginning to shine in the tunnel.....and I know I am on my way, well on my way, but it is nice knowing that I can still learn something more about how I 'tick.'

Today I will start the Boot Camp regimen. I hope to kick start my exercise routine after a couple of weeks of cabin fever.

I feel low at the moment, but know that it too will pass. I have much to do to get my house in order so this week I plan to reallly get busy with the house, my eating and my activity level.

Beautiful but cold Saturday morning. I feel great today. Tomorrow is the beginning of the month long boot camp challenge. I want to mix up my exercise regime, so will be interested in looking back at the challenge in a month and compare my successes.

This morning I awoke to another fresh blanket of snow. My husband was outside faithfully removing it from our driveway, sidewalk and porch. The trees were gorgeous and once again I was glad that I didn't have to go outside or go to work.

The grandkids spent the night and we had a good time. Once my husband came inside, my grandson and I looked out the window and saw a moose running along my street. We ran to Grandpa to tell him the story and he chuckled and said that he forgot to mention that he had seen that same moose running up our cross street. I am not sure where the moose was going but it was in such a hurry I would not have wanted to have gotten in his way. Oh to have that much energy!

I am going to ramp up my workouts and maybe then I will feel like lumbering up the street too.

A new year is a good time to review how things are going and what I would like to see happen in the coming year. I have been exercising Three times a week since May and really enjoy going to Curves. I resisted exercise for so long and now I find that this circuit is doing a lot of positive things for me. Because of the weather and the holidays, I have not been since the day after Christmas. I feel the difference and am looking forward to going back on Monday. In addition, I am going to attempt my blog every day to keep my resolve active. Inside the word Resolution is the word "Solution" so I am going to work on that for the coming month and see how well I can sove some of my motivation issues.

I like the way it feels to shop for my "regular" as in old size and that is one feeling that will return as I work on my goals.
