We Went to church this morning and have spent the day lounging around, drinking coffee, talking, laughing, and basically enjoying Pat's last day of vacation. HONORING THE SABBATH. Tomorrow things return to business as usual: Pat back to work, Jake back to school, and me starting my first day of Fat Camp. Okay...not Fat Camp, let's call it FITNESS CAMP.
The first Monday of the New Year seems like a good day to start my Fitness Journey. They say it takes 20 days to break a habit although it takes 21 days to form a habit. I wonder why that is? Well, I just so happen to have 20 -21 days to spare- to test this "theory" out firsthand. Count me in. I'm up for the challenge. Perhaps I might even become "addicted" to exercising along the way.
Of course, with Jennifer's wedding coming up on May 1st, I must shamelessly admit, I do have ulterior motives to testing out this theory. Actually, I have exactly 40 reasons. I would be elated to tackle even 20 of these pesky reasons. So the Journey begins. Come along for the journey.
So today I started reading a new book: The Christmas sweater. Every year I try to read a good Christmas book...and of course, I'm a little behind. (The story of my life.) Anyways...I started this book and without a doubt, I think it's a fast read. I'm already hooked.
Of course, I did have to use my little pair of old lady "cheaters". Oh yes, I did say say old lady. I bought them at Michael's one day out of desperation. I realized I could barely read something on the back of a skein of yarn. So not only am I noticing that my arms aren't long enough due to the onset of presbyiopia, I am facing the hard cold facts of the natural progression of aging on one's body. It's not bad enough that grey hair, wrinkles, and the pull of gravity changes the way we look, now I have to get glasses to boot! In all of my 46 years, my eyesight has been something I've been able to boast about! I have never had my eyes tested because I had perfect vision...and now, here we are (both Pat and I) needing reading glasses. What's worse is that they detected a bit of a distance prescription needed too. So on Friday, I pick up my glasses. Ugh. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with this. We'll see if I get motion sickness while wearing them.

Your day sounds wonderful and much like ours.
Okay, I'm wondering if that whole 20-21 day thing is true. I'm going to put it to the test. I think I'm even giving up the potato chips for that length of time. We'll see if this theory works!
