It's been a while! I've missed the peace of mind this place gives me.

So, let me start off by saying, Happy 2009! I know this year will be the best yet!

December was an incredibly stressful month for me. I was taking a mini-session class (which takes an entire semester's worth of work and crams it into one month) AND still putting in close to 50 hours at work on top of that. Needless to say, it was stressful, along with the holidays, and I am grateful that I even made it through last month alive!

I started yoga in December and oh my goodness, do I LOVE it! The things it's done for my body have been amazing. The added plus is the reduction of my stress levels. Not to mention, being able to do all of the poses while being in a class full of skinny people is a great ego boost!

I'm still not tracking my weight on a scale. Old habits are hard to break. In fact, I still don't have a scale in my house... but I bought my first pair of size 14 jeans in years, last weekend. My old size 20's have gone to Good Will.

Some days, I feel like I'm not doing enough. I know that I'm not. My doctor hit my "sweet spot" in November, so I have been losing steadily, but I know I could do more if I got more cardio in. I really love yoga, but I know I need to get moving more. I've been going to the gym, but it gets boring, and I'm easily de-motivated! I am looking for my next "athletic high" meaning, something fun, dynamic, that I'll really enjoy. I'm still searching for it.

So, aside from being a bump on a log the month of December, I'm really trying to kick it into high gear now.

congrats! best of luck to u!
