I've been trying for days now to download pics from the ceremony and no such luck. If anyone is able to tell me why this is happening, I'd love to hear it. Damn blogger!
On the diet/fitness side of things, I'm trying to get back at it. I didn't do very well the week before the trip and I certainly didn't workout or eat clean while in St. Lucia. I don't regret that, lol. It was my first vacation with my husband, ever, and we had a lot of fun. Ok, I'm getting off track. I've been trying to make healthier choices with my eating and I've been squeezing in some running. I feel so out of it. I ran 2 miles the other day...my first run in weeks. I can't believe how much ground I have lost! Use it or lose it, that's for sure. Baby steps...that's what I keep telling myself. The next day I ran 3 miles and it didn't seem quite as hard. It wasn't easy, but my body seemed to handle it a little better. I'm feeling it in my legs, so I know this is a good start. I'm in IA right now and my weights are in TN, so, no lifting yet. Basically all I can do here is run and do bodyweight exercises (abwork, pushups, plyo, etc). If I can just get some of this is, it will be a good start.
I really want to get into a good routine to get me through the holidays. I need it. Every year I feel uncomfortable in my clothes and I always overeat at family get-togethers. I know now that I can easily make this work by making those days free days, but I have to make sure that I am working out and eating clean on the other days. I want to feel sexy this year in my jeans. I don't want to feel self conscious about my stomach bulging over my pants and seeing it through my shirt/sweater. I want to feel confident. I want to be HOT FOR THE HOLIDAYS! ;) That being said, it's time to be the person I want to be and stop dreaming about it. I know what I have to do. Why is it that we can educate ourselves and try to learn all there is, yet lack the ability to follow through on it? Maybe I need to buy some of those cd's or read a book about this. Any suggestions? Maybe I'll look into the book Jennifer had suggested.
Today I'm going to visit my new little neice Ava. She's 1wk 3days old today. When I see her I just think about when Aiden was that age and how incredibly tiny and precious they are. It gets me thinking about a second baby. Whoa. Maybe I shouldn't go visit! LOL

I am right there with you.. Trying to get things pulled back together and wanting to go stay on track thru the holidays!! I have been doing well the past few days and am feeling motivated. ok, I need to do some updating on my blog. Kind of have forgotten i had it...LOL. Good to hear from you.
After a break it is always hard for me to get back into the swing of things. I don't know what it is but I hate it. You just have to pick yourself and find the reason why you are doing it. Think how much better you will feel over the holidays. Set goals, that always helps me and I know it is cheesy but sometimes if I just look through my oxygen magazines or other fitness magazines it does the trick and makes me want to get back at it. Just a thought.
Did you download one at a time? Are they big files?
I think you should write down all that stuff you told us and then brake down how you will accomplish that with little goals to get and keep you there each week. That should get you going. Just remember the weeks will go by no matter what with or without you. Its a hard time of year for a diet, so you must FOCUS on your gaols.
You can do it you always do.
I just read about your trip and saw your pics. Beautiful! And boy, you look great! You know I'm with ya on trying to get back on track. So hard, but I'm trying.
