Ditto

Good Evening Glories! I just want to say that I agree completely with TAPS' last blog. So, ditto to all that she mentioned in there. I've not exercised. I'm eating in a craptacular fashion. And I'm not getting much  accomplished on my Get It Done Now list. Tomorrow's a new day & a another 365 are on the horizon. We'll get it mostly right, right? The 1st leap I'll make is tossing the pie. There's not enough folks at work to eat it, so away it goes. If I remember, I'll try to ensure I do ab & arm work every morning prior to getting ready for work. Maybe I should make myself a note & put it somewhere....I'll write it on the mirror! Tah daaahhh!

Thanks for supporting & helping me through 2011. There's no way I'd be down 20+ pounds, eating a smidgen healthier, and living a couple thousand miles away from home without you queens.  I hope to gather with all of you at some point along our 2012 trek!

Cheers!

Southern Gal

Good Evening Delights! My holiday tour across the south was very nice. Once getting to Charlotte yesterday, my brother, his gal pal, her family, & I engaged in a wild game of bootleg football. We had such a good time sliding & running around the park. Who knew we'd go old school and actually PLAY football on Christmas & not just watch it?!?!  Anyhoo, what I've learned is that the south just doesn't have sidewalks. Finito. I so so so miss sidewalks. But...the folks are friendly. Whatcanyasay? I ate way too much of everything and I'm feeling good and blah and not-so-bad about the tastiness. The coffee cake is so darn delightful. And I say "is" because my brother's gal pal forced me to bring some home. Yay! I also got an entire sweet potato pie from Ricky's mama. What's a Follow Through'er to do but eat the goodies and hope she can walk it off.  Who's with me? All of you? GREAT! So, with that all said... My objectives for the week are as follows:

+  Share the pie
+  Good fitness for at least 5 days
+  Buy groceries
+  Uhm... A whole lot of other things
+  Write a manifesto about how I want my living situation to be when I'm old

Cheers!

Country Folk & Other Stuff

Good X-Mas Eve Delights! Since some of you will be reading this tomorrow or the day after or on Tuesday:  Happy Christmas & stuff. The 7 hour drive to Mississippi was pretty smooth & peaceful. And southerners are pretty darn nice, too. I visited a former Hound (not sure if any of you besides Kim B & TAPS know Ricky Pierce) & met his family. And ate a whole HEAP & MOUND of goodness. I understood most of what his mother was saying & about 60% of what his dad was speaking. What I didn't understand was the over abundance of broke down vehicles in EVERYBODY'S front/side yard. WTHades man?!?!? Not a huge fan of personalized gold teeth either. But did I mention the folks were nice? Hhmm mmhmm... They sure are.  A small town full of hand wavers and greeters. And everyone welcomed me to another visit. Someday. Tomorrow, I'll head to Charlotte, NC to hang with my big (but small in stature) brother. Sinn rolled about 900 miles in 24 hours and will do another 500 or so tomorrow. And guess what! The "Check engine" light is on again because I somehow didn't tighten the gas cap on a fuel up. SinnABurst very well may quit me soon. But I'm hoping she hangs out for another 50k miles. Wish us luck.

Magic, so super thrilled that Super Sofia is home, healthy, and smiling. Please keep us posted.

Divas, have the most fabulous Kwanzaa, Chanukah, Festivus, etc... Eat what you want!

Brownie Overdose

Good Evening Delights! I didn't do any work today. And still haven't done any cardio, but maybe I'll do some here in a few minutes. I ate tons of brownies and still have 2 left. YUM! Okay. Okay. I won't eat them until I hit the road tomorrow morning & head for the great crooked letter state. So... I will spare you all a long blog. Not that I have anything to say anyway. I'm off to do some cardio, shower, pack, & power down. And maybe have some wine. Enjoy the holiday weekend if I don't hear from yall.

Over-dramatic head trauma

Good Evening Glories! I've got a mild tension headache & am just now remembering that it's been here all day. WTHades??!?  And WTH is this image??? Kinda looks like Tiger Woods, right? I'm going with that. Kinda bummed that it was raining @ lunch so I wasn't able to work. I mean walk. Okay, I mean both of them. No work nor walk today. Seriously, I did absolutely nada today besides email friends, set up various online accounts for bill paying, read the latest issue of Smart Money (my supervisor is all about me learning/playing the stock market), text some ex-beaus, and eat. Tomorrow will be even more grand: Who wants to really do any work the day before an extended weekend? NOBODY! That's who!
"The Middle" is crackin' me up right now.  Oh, I did do arm & ab work before I went to the place of cubicles and desks today.  And I made all of my co-workers chuckle at some point today. Yay me!

Objectives for Manana:
%  Do some work
%  Prepare for my day trip to Mississippi
%  Some cardio work
%  Be realistic about how much work I'm NOT going to do  :)

Cheers!

Blues Suede Shoes!

Good Evening Divas! Sorry that some of you have the holiday blues. I'm wishing all of those blues go away to a pair of suede shoes. That's the proper place for them, right? Blue shoes. Yep. The end.

Delights, in my almost 3 weeks on my new gig, I have decided that I'm gonna rock the job out. And in the process of rockin', I'm gonna create a niche & job within that job. I figure I can get promoted, rub elbows, & move around with this position. Like ... move around Europe. I think I'd love to live there again. This job can easily open windows, doors, and eyelids for me. Nobody else in my office is wanting to or even thinking about moving up and beyond. They're either near retirement - for a 2nd time - or just settled in to their Georgian lifestyles. Wish me luck & sanity. Uhm... I think that's all. I'm working on eating habits & fitness. Going asi asi (so/so) but I will improve. YAY!

Goals for Manana:
#  Walk the track at lunch as long as it's not raining
#  Do some ab & arm work
#  Read a little
#  Make some folks chuckle

Own the Day Divas!

Where My Divas At?!?!

Hello Delights! Where yall at? Just want to check in and make sure you're all still with me. Or at least half of ya! And that you're doing well. I know we all get busy with living and hustling and thinking and worrying and just being plain ol' busy! But I think about each of you & hope each of your days are filled with positivism and productivity. Particularly at this time of year. The holidays can be joyous, stressful, rough, and fattening. Let's stick with joyous and partly fattening & leave that other stuff by the wayside.
Enjoy being YOU! And it's perfectly dandy to not wanna do anything (blogging included) on a daily basis. I'm just a psycho like that. Get me some benefits. Meanwhile, we'll let Bruno handle it for me.

The goal for the evening is ab and arm work. I did get my derriere around the track to day. Ole!

Cheers Divas!
