Yeah, I know. I forgot yesterday, but if you read my last post you will see that I have a very good excuse! So here’s yesterday’s four calling birds:

And today’s gift of 5 Golden rules:

Until tomorrow…..

As you can imagine, the last week has not been the most optimum atmosphere for losing (or even maintaining) weight. I haven’t been upstairs to get on the scale yet, but I will later and I will update at the bottom of my post.

All the Christmas cookies and goodies are gone. I gave most of it away as additional gifts to my family. Get it out of my house is all I could think about! Of course, now I could really go for a piece of fudge or a sugar cookie with nice sweet icing….. Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! We’ve got a few dark chocolate hershey kisses left from the stockings. I will have to go get a couple of those to keep my craving at bay. Santa was very good this year and only brought an apple, nuts, some hershey kisses and M&Ms this Christmas. So, that, along with all the cookies being given away, has hopefully helped my waist from gaining 3 more inches!

Losing weight is one of my New Years resolutions, and I will further address those in my post tomorrow or Wednesday. I need to get on track and need to do it now. My classes start again on the 12th and I need things organized and going smoothly by then. I’m taking Java programming, Business Statistics, and Intermediate and Advanced Spreadsheets. I know the classes will be tough, I’m just hoping that they won’t be stressful like the one course I took last year. We all know what happens when stress rears its ugly head!

Some of you may be wondering why I didn’t post yesterday. I received the whole Twilight series of books from hubby’s  uncle (beautiful hardcover set) and let’s just say I’m halfway through the second book already! I hate putting down a good book. It’s the equivalent of pushing stop on a really good movie halfway through and not watching the rest of the movie until later! Ggggrrr! I’m not sure how I put the book down long enough to blog about it! LL. There’s a lot to do around the house today, and I’m going to TRY to stay away from the books! After I’m done reading them I will write my opinions on them, so you can decide if you would like to buy them, or better yet, take them out at the library.
