Winter

Even though we have short and mild winters in So Cal, we still have them. This winter I need to get out on my board.

My friends are going to Costa Rica for a surfing holiday. I would love to join them, but not this time. Not to mention I wasn't invited. Haa HAa.

In the mean time I am still doing my belly dancing and my work has me on my feet all day. The result is that I am still losing weight. Even with all the turkey and biscuits around.

Its not that you can't enjoy things as long as you don't over do it. I can say that I have taken my own advice and I did walk the dogs after a big turkey diner. It helped me feel so much better, than if I had just laid around on the sofa.

I have to get ready for work and have to cut this short today. Make sure to drink plenty of water and rest in this busy time of the year.

Always be working

Not that there isn't time to vacation and relax in the evening. I have been trying to find a job for quite a while. Now I have one and would like to keep working.

The other thing I keep working on is keeping active. Last week I did take my own advice and walked the dogs after a big dinner. It wasn't easy but it worked and I felt better afterwards. This week with my new job I will be on my feet quite a bit. Something I have not done in years.

Even with all the big meals I have lost a few pounds. Which will make it easier to be on the sales floor. The less I weigh the less stress on my legs. Still a bit sore but not bad.

The other thing I need to work on is getting back in the ocean, the confines of my car and how far I can drive it has been in the way. Instead of complaining I went to find out how much it would be to fix it. The house needs more work and with being busy again it helps me do even more and get going.

The other thing I have to work on is making sure my man and I have good lunches to take to work. With only a half hour for work the need to warm something up and go is imperative. Since I haven't had to worry about that for a long time, so I forgot how nice it is to have a good home made meal to eat, rather than take out.

I also need to be more bold and smile more. I caught a look at myself in the mirror. What I thought was a smile was more like a half smile/frown. Great, some thing else to work on.
