The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. . .

Really? I promise not to make this a Christmas bashing post, so moving on. Sorry new followers. Usually my comedic posts reflect my bubbly award winning personality...lol at myself because I dubbed my own personality award winning. Even though my inner Scrooge emerged, I scrounged up enough Christmas spirit to put up my Charlie Brown Tree and light the fireplace.

I think my foul mood results from the possibility that I may not meet my goal of 50 by 50 (not 50 in 50, but 50 by 50). I had 50 days to lose 5 pounds. Piece of cake right (...a piece of cake sounds good right now)? WRONG! For the past few weeks I continue to lose and gain and lose and gain the same 2 pounds. (Cue A.D.D.) moving on to another subject.

Of course as the end of the year nears, I start thinking about all of things left unfinished and the things I plan to accomplish in 2010. So I present my to do list:

1. Wait for my husband to find me.
   
   
2. Unsubscribe from Layne Bryant's email list. At the mall, I now walk past Layne Bryant while rolling my eyes. More than one option awaits when I shop at the mall. YOU CAN SUCK IT LAYNE! BAM!
   
   
3. Open an Etsy shop.
   
   
4. Decide what to sell in Etsy shop.
   
   
5. Get A.D.D. checked out ( I almost rolled off the end of the treadmill last Friday, but my quick cat like reflexes saved me.).
   
   
6. Continue to stalk Oprah.
   
   
7. Ask Rose if she wants to still take the dance class we discussed.
   
   
8. Start weight loss scrapbook.
   
   
9. Organize a campaign to rid the world of all types of hot chips (guilty pleasure): hot Cheetos, hot lays, hot funyuns, hot fries, hot Fritos, you get the point.
   
   
10. Learn how to knit...possible Etsy merchandise.
    
    
11. Seriously begin writing my book, titled Fat Chance or Take a Chance about my overweight heroine Riley Chance or Presley Chance (...haven't decided on a name yet).
    
    
12. Cut down this list to maybe 2 items.
    

Christmas in July

Christmas has come early! So I was perusing the blogs of new Me So Hongy followers and several clicks later I discovered some podcasts for the Couch to 5K training. Merry Christmas to me! For months I sat toying with the idea of running a 5K, but where to begin overwhelmed me. A big shout out goes to FROM 5K to MARATHON for the podcast discovery. Needless to say I downloaded the podcast to my ipod and hit the pavement, well the treadmill running. Thursday I plan to take this show on the road.

Side note: Thanks new followers for joining me on this weight loss roller coaster ride. Keep the comments and the support flowing.

Christmas gift #2, AT&T's FREE Exercise TV on demand. Comcast also offers free on demand exercise TV...check it out. IT'S FREE! I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the Bollywood workout! Namaste! I also found Jillian Michael's Shred #1 and 2, as well as a variety of other Biggest Loser videos. I even saw one of my all time favs, Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease. Well...I hope my post brings Christmas to you too! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
