Happy New Year!
We are back home in Texas. Our flight home last night was thankfully nothing like our flight out there and we actually got in 25 minutes early. Our trip was nice but I sure spent way too much time on my butt eating crappy (but delicious!) food. It was so cold outside that we barely got in walking in and my back was aching by mid-week. It was lovely to spend so much time with Chris' family though and I actually liked Idaho Falls. We need to find a little town like that to move to but one without one of our mothers living in it.
Anyhow, since I missed my daily food posts, here's what a day in Idaho looked like:
7am banana with oatmeal and milk 9am one slice whole wheat toast with PB (or we'd go out and I'd have eggs, hashbrowns and toast- sometimes bacon too)
noon usually a grilled chicken sandwich and fries (or perhaps a burger and shake)
a bunch of chex mix, cookies, and chocolate in the afternoon
7pm dinner of some sort of meat and potatoes, veggies, and a bunch of bread
and then some enormous servings of pie and ice cream or some other dessert
As I write this I realize it doesn't look like much but we really ate something like every 90 minutes for 7 days straight. I weighed myself when we got in last night and showed a 5 lb gain in one week. I'll wait a few days to weigh myself again to get a more realistic idea of what the damage is. I think the lack of activity is what's going to get me.
I am starting the new year off in my traditional way and going to a Nia class this afternoon. I think I have taken a Nia class every New Year's for about 7 years now (give or take one or two). It's such an awesome way to start the year- dancing!
I will write a year-in-review post later on today. I am so happy to be home! |

Happy New Year to you too!
Dance on - I thought of that, but the weather here is entirely too nasty to venture outside, and no one is around to dance with, it's my birthday, so I don't want to do things alone!!!

Happy Birthday Di! I so wish we could dance together today. You are one of my favorite Nia partners! Get the husband to dance with you- being pregnant on your birthday should give you the ultimate power of persuasion :)
Ah, good idea, but he's not such a great dancer....
Thanks for the complements. One of my New Year's goals is to get back to Nia. I've been a lazy, lazy DiWriter, and it's starting to show.

It's one of mine too. I want these last 3 months of my pregnancy to be as comfortable as possible and I think Nia is the way to go. I might also look into water aerobics.
Also, I've been meaning to tell you that your email address has been mailing me strange things. Well, at least the first one I opened had no message and some odd attatchment. I haven't tried opening any others for fear they might be viruses. You haven't emailed me any photos right? | |
