Making It Through The Holidays
Hope everyone is making it through the holidays in one piece. Things have been very crazy, and emotional, here and I for one am glad to be almost done with them and 2008.
I recently had to put my dog down. That was very hard to do - I've had her for over 14 years and she was such an important part of our family. We knew it was coming, but that did not make it any better. And of course....John was on travel when i had to do it.
Then, I had to deal with antics from my family (actually my Mother) during Christmas. Bt, with the support of my sisters and friends, I made it through in one piece and enjoyed myself very much.
Now, I am preparing for 2009. I am one who makes goals each year (I prefer goals instead of the word "resolutions") and have started putting them down on paper, and putting a plan together for success. I knew that I am a work in progress and should strive for growth. This is my way.
I've been off of the road and out of the gym since my surgery (doc's orders), but am getting antsy. Dr. K told me that I could walk on the treadmill (a slow walk) and instead I've been walking in the Mall and outdoors. But, I plan to head to the gym this week and to do a yoga dvd today. Gotta get moving again. I don't like how I feel. I've already signed up for the Shamrock 8K and I have less then 12 weeks to be ready (no problem) and am registereing for the Ukrop's 10K (in Richmond) that is the following week.
Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday! They are almost over with!

You have NO idea how happy I am to see you posting! Let me get back to you when 09 hits doll! That's how tough these last several months of 08 have been and continues to be quite frankly. (You'll get mail shortly.) You are an important gal and I personally would like to see you here more often. Big time hugs & lotsa sloppy lovin' with some prayers coming your way.

Thankful for the easy, grateful for the hard & hopeful for tomorrow.
Jill, so glad to see you. Sounds like you did survive well and were able to enjoy the holidays some. A plan for the New Year sounds great. I need to be working on mine some. I have some ideas in my head but putting them on paper sounds like a good idea. Enjoy getting back into your routine and remember to take it easy & don't over do it.

As many who know me, know that I am a planner and I'm driving everyone crazy with this planning of mine....BUT...it's how I make it though.
I'm suppose to hit the treadmill today for a walk (remember....still no real exercise), but feel a cold coming on (thanks to my hubby and son!). Oh heck...who am I kidding....I'll be ont he treadmill today!

I, so missed your posts. Glad that you are back with us. Sorry to hear about your dog's passing.
I, too, like to use goals vs resolutions. For 11 weeks I have been involved in physical therapy which has given me the incentive to continue working out. I have also lost weight and firmed up. I pray that I will be able to continue with this when physical therapy ends.
Thank you for planting th seed.

You will do just fine - you like how it makes you feel and that alone can keep you going.
Enjoy your day!
