Well, it has been a reallllllly long time since my last (and first) blog. Let me just explain by saying, "I hate winter!" What does this have to do with writing a blog entry you might ask? You might think that winter would be the perfect time to cozy up with my laptop and spew my life/feelings out into the world, but for me, you'd be wrong. I hate winter so much that not only does my outdoor activity cease, but my indoor activity pretty much ceases also. Some call it the "Winter Blues"...I call it, "I live in Wisconsin"...that should be explaination enough for those of you privilidged/cursed to live in the midwest. Don't get me wrong, I love the area that I live in. We have beautiful bluffs, gorgeous rivers and awesome people. I just hate winter. I wish I could enjoy things like skiing, sledding, ice fishing or playing in the snow...but I am so daunted by the insane, bitter cold that I can not possibly enjoy any of these activities. In the winter, my outside exposure consists of walking from my car to school/the store/wherever I'm going. For those of you who are thinking that I deprive my two children from the fun winter activities, don't worry. I make their dad do it :)
Now, as I stated last time, I have a couple of things I want to work on. I have been doing pretty good in the areas of money and doing meaningful activities with my children. Now what I have downright sucked at is the being healthier part. I am also blaming winter for this one. On a cold winter night, I just want to snuggle with my kids and watch a movie or snuggle by my self and read a book, or snuggle with my hubby...I'm sensing a pattern :) But now that spring is sprung, I am going to start pushing myself to start accomplishing something. Now, the good news is that I haven't really gained any weight...which when you spend a whole winter sitting on your butt and eating comfort food, is pretty good, but I haven't lost any either. I'm really hoping to drop at least one size by the time summer is in full swing...I'll keep you posted.
