Hung over or hung forward.... which one is it?

Well I am calling it a hang forward because after partying until late last night at our company's Xmas party I got up bright and early and ran the Road Race and Toy Drive and immediately after went to the gym to get my old fart arse stretched and my abs worked on the Pilate's Reformer ... and instead of being tired I AM TOTALLY ENERGIZED.... go figure ...

Considering the awesome time we had socializing, eating, sipping wine and dancing I still had energy for more ...and I could keep on going but I have to slow down .. tomorrow is Monday ... I need to crash and go to sleep ... but whoever can my body is still tingling from the run ..go figure .. I want to run some more ...

My DH was wondering why I was looking for his red tie ... until he got dressed and my DS snapped a shot of us on our way out ... errrrrrrrrr to match my dress? the one my DD gave me as a hoax Mother's Day thinking I would never wear it? but I did ... and you could of hung me right on the Xmas tree too LOL


We had an AWESOME time with our group of peers, co-workers and friends...


The food was awesome and so was the wine ... hmmmmmm I love that Chardonnay....


and in the semi darkness my crazy dress looked like a Xmas tree ornament LOL.. as well as my glass of wine...



On the way out we took pictures under the big Xmas tree ... this is me with my friend's DH

and this is me with my DH ... he had sooooooooooo much fun ...but then he has a sweet spirit and always does...


AND AFTER ALL THAT I WAS UP BRIGHT AND EARLY ... WORKED ON MY PROJECT FOR A BIT .. RAN A ROAD RACE AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY OLD CARCASS WAS ON THE REFORMER (Pilate's) getting a complete workout ...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that felt sooooooooooo good...





THIS IS DEFINITELY HANGING FORWARD .... I HUNG OUT last night ... I did not get HUNG OVER ... and today I am HANGING FORWARD ... LOVING LIVING LIFE ... EATING HEALTHY AND EXERCISING ... IT IS ALL GOOD ..... 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY RNY ..it is the tool that I got 4 years and 10 months ago and I am working it for me ... should I need an upgrade or a do-over I will most definitely get the DS without hesitation. 

Thank you for allowing me to share snippets of my journey ... just a goofy old sista living out lifestyle changes one.day.at.a.time....

I always hold my before in remembrance to encourage my today ... life without co-morbidities or morbid obesity ...
