The Most Wonderful Time of Year!

I finally got my decorations up!  Including my very sad looking tree.  I hate that it's a fake one ( I miss the fresh pine scent and candles are nice, but just not cutting it).  My honey forced me to get a real one when we moved in together.  Said the cats would eat a real one and get sick...pshhh, yeah right!  Sadly, he was right.  All they do is gnaw on the ends of the branches.  The bottom of the tree is almost bare, mostly from them swatting at the ornaments.  So here is my tree!  We added more lights to cover the naked spots where the kitties sat on and bent branches beyond repair.  Also, introducing our furry children!



This is C.C. ...

I Don't Wanna!

So after filling up on an amazing Thanksgiving feast, I am trying to talk myself back onto the "workout wagon."  I just feel so un motivated.  It's been about a month since I've done anything other than a short walk here or there.  Now that the weather has gotten chilly I can not force myself to take a stroll around the block.  I keep trying to picture my wedding day (just a few days shy of 6 months away) and how I'd like to look...you'd think that would be enough to get me going!

Today I went to good ole Amazon.com to read some reviews on excersize DVD's.  After a little research I chose Pure Barre.  Never heard of it, but it's supposed to be low impact, but super effective at burning fat and shaping a "dancer-like" body.  The last thing I want is to look like a beefcake body builder, so I think this fits the bill!  I'll put my Firm DVD's on the back burner, as I am so completely bored with them...they work, but I have a short attention span.

Now, how am I going to stay out of the bakery isle of the super market for the next 6 months?  Damn you Sweet Tooth!
