Happy New Year

Well another year has quickly gone by. It just amazes me that the older I get the faster the years seem to go. Why oh why can't time just slow down for a while?  I have decided that I will no longer do resolutions. One, because I never follow through with them. I can only think of one in all my years that I have actually finished. To quit smoking. That one was a challenge! Here are my current stats from quitnet.com (I highly recommend this site! It was a great help to me while kickin the habit and was nice to talk to others going through the same things as me at the same time.)

1090 days, 18 hours, 28 minutes and 16 seconds smoke free. 21815 cigarettes not smoked.$5,455.00 and 5 months, 16 days, 15 hours of your life saved.

Two, I think a goal or challenge is much better sounding. So I have a few "goals or challenges" for this year. Once I quit smoking as most people do I gained about 15 pounds! YIKES! And the fact that I started baking didn't help the waste line much  either. lol

So this year I have decided I am going to challenge myself to get back to a  healthy weight. I will be setting monthly goals and will keep you all posted on my progress. :) My first goal is to burn 2000 calories on my new Kinect video game for the Xbox 360, Your Shape Fitness Evolved. I have no clue how long it will take me to get there But

I played a little last night and must say this has to be one of the best games. It really gets your heart rate up. I'm thinking about getting a heart rate watch to I can make sure I stay in the "zone". The Bally Dance and the cardio boxing was a BLAST to play. Even the kids had a lot of fun. I think I have found a new way to get some Physical Education in for homeschooling.

Here is to a Happy, Healthy and Blessed 2011!
