Holidays in Houston

My life in pictures...

For the first time in my 33 years I did not spend Christmas with my family.It was harder than I thought, being away from them this time of year. But...I made the most of it and had a pretty good time. Check out what my holidays looked like below.

Christmas Eve dinner - filet, a family tradition

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E. Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f...

I need a new goal

Since running my last half marathon in Dallas my training/running has been less than spectacular. Add that to the trip home and food tour of Delaware County and well I really need to put my foot down and start working out. Which means I need a new goal. I enjoy running. Kind of. Sort of. I know it's good for me, but I am inherently a very lazy person. So much so that if I don't have a reason to get up off the couch, I won't. Today is Wednesday and I haven't run or gone to the gym since Saturday. Sunday was my day off and then I found excuses not to do anything Monday and Tuesday. It needs to stop! I am getting better about my eating, with the exception of my Chuy's slip on Monday. Seriously. I can not live near Chuy's. It's too dangerous. So now I'm the the hunt for my next run to sign up for. I would like it to be within a few hours of here, but I'm not sure what the local road race calendar looks like. I know, I know, I should know all this...

Here's what: December 19

Here's what I'm obsessing over this week... Christmas is in less than ONE week and I could quite possibly be done with my shopping. I have bought gifts for everyone on my list, but I still might pick up a few more things.And I leave for home Saturday morning. yay. After Kym's post last week of things she was afraid to share, she challenged her followers to do the same . I agreed with so many of her things and decided to share a few of mine... Things That I've Been Too Afraid To Publish... I might be one of the most self conscious people you will ever meet. I've been this way as long as I can remember. I have never thought I was beautiful or even slightly pretty. It's been over two years since my last relationship ended and it's been a struggle to move on. I haven't been really happy in a long time. I'm close to the highest weight I have ever been and it makes me seriously uncomfortable in my own body. I'm afraid I will never f...

Fabulous Run
