It's beginning to look a lot like.........

CHRISTMAS!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although we've already discussed how i'm not SUPER thrilled about snow, I DO love a white christmas. And we're pretty much guaranteed to have a nice white Christmas!!!!!!! My hubs has shoveled so much snow, I can't even keep count the HOURS he's been at it the last four days. Ohhh, and the weather report tonight: up to 7 more inches............uhhhhhh boy
Here's after a couple rounds of heavy shoveling! Bless his heart! And there's Nash..

So, as Christmas is upon us, of course we all know what's next---NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS!!!!!!!! RIGHT???
I'm super excited because this will help fill my schedule, but also, I LOVE being inspired by people. It will continue to boggle me WHY PEOPLE WAIT, but hey, if you need the New Year to motivate you, then so be it! :) I love to reach my goals, and I love to watch and HELP people reach theirs!:)

I hope you're all enjoying the last few Calm days before CHRISTMAS EVE & CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Lots of love-stay safe & warm~

26 Inches..........last report

HOLY COW! 1st things first. If your area is in need of snow, just ask me to move there. Apparently snow likes to follow me. It must know how much I dislike it......This will be my fourth year in the Spok-Vally and..........yep, 2 of those four have been the worst in years......like 20 years! But I digress..........

Today it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to post some pix i took last night, and then some more from this morning. It's out of control!!!!!!!!!!!! I must say I prefer this beauty to the freezing rain or below zero temps, but still........this is MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you say, SNOW DAY??? Or even SNOW DAYS?!?! I am very thankful that we have food in the cupboards and a full gym in the basement, and internet connection & electricity in general. Glory to God for all of that! It's really not too bad, I just like to whine! :)

here ya go: If you're lucky, I'll VLOG later while we go shove M.O.R.E. snow!!!!!
This was last night around 9pm

This was this morning around 11am

Our Cul-De-Sac. You can see my neighbors trashcan-almost COVERED!!

*Lighter*

Yep, I've only been "training" if you will, for 5 days now, and I seriously feel "lighter." No, not on the scales, you knuckleheads, I don't weigh myself :)
Just lighter in general. Less weighed down, less water & carb logged! :)
Vacation, flying, wedding cake, hearty dinners, that can all do some serious stuff to your interstitial tissue, making you FEEL bloated, puffy, you know.......... Anyway, within just a few days, I was feeling remarkable FITTER. And I love it. This is exactly why I get boggled as to why people WAIT. We WAIT for a 1st to land on a Monday, we wait for a New Year...so on and so forth. If there was some way to ALWAYS remember how great we feel when we're on a plan, it'd sell out! :)

So, that's that. I'm training, eating, resting, ALL during the holidays. IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you're all well, and like I said in my blog, I do keep tabs on everyone, even if I don't comment!

Lots of love~

Em & Seester Oct 2008

Tomorrow very well COULD be a new start, right?

The only time people change is when it becomes too
uncomfortable to stay the same. That moment of emotion is
critical to them when effecting change.

I really like this quote (and most quotes in general!) It doesn't get better than a Monday, start of the week, START OF A NEW MONTH to buckle down and finally Walk the walk. Am I right??

Of course many perfer to wait until Jan. 1, but lets be honest, nursing a potential hangover, or just lack of sleep from waiting for the ball to drop--sure impedes that goal. Soooooooo, take tomorrow as a new start. Finish 2008 with a BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, that's your motivational talk for today. Love you all, and thanks soooo much for the kind comments RE: my teeth! :) I'm doing great!

XOXO~
