Boot Camp & Baking

This is what it was like when I stepped on the scale after the great cake ball holiday of 2010.  It was definitely a "holy crap" moment!  I cried, cussed, texted a few friends and then ate a cookie.  No need in making a drastic change quickly, right?  Well, in an effort to try to get into some sort of shape I started back full force on Weight Watchers yesterday and started a boot camp for beginners at my church.  Boot Camp started tonight and I think I may have needed to find a "I haven't exercised in years" boot camp because, MY WORD, did it kick my butt (and there's a lot to kick)! ha!  I'm just grateful I took my trash and recycling down my steep driveway to the curb before I went instead of when I got back since the chances of me making it back up the hill with my shaky legs would have been almost impossible!! I signed up for a month to start out with and I'm hoping since I just confessed to this to my 2 readers ( Hi Vanessa & Allison!) that it will be my accountability piece.

Also, in more exciting news, I got a new drop-in range yesterday!!! Woo Hoo!  I have officially crossed over into the adult world since I am now excited about getting new appliances.  Anyway, my old oven cooked unevenly and too hot.  To bake anything you had to remember to turn the temperature down 25 degrees and remember to rotate the item midway during cooking.  It was a pain!  Also, it wasn't self-cleaning and I'm really not the "stick my head in an oven with some oven cleaner" type of girl.  Since the installation, I have cooked supper the past two nights.  I'm sure the new will wear off soon but right now I am in baking heaven.  I may even make some cake balls....Kidding!

Back to the Real World

Well, today is the last day of my Christmas Break and I'm not going to lie, I hate to see it end!  However, if I want to keep a roof over my head and so forth, I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go back to work tomorrow.  I really think I missed my calling to be a trophy wife though!  Ha! 

I really am going to miss getting up early to exercise, being able to eat healthier, etc... Oh, who am I kidding, I didn't do any of that!!  Honestly, I'm going to miss sleeping until 9, staying up late, watching reality TV marathons (Toddlers & Tiaras and Real Housewives) and cake balls.  I'm still in cake ball detox and probably shouldn't have mentioned  them because now I'm craving them again! 

There is an upside with saying good-bye to Christmas break and that is the hopes that come with a new year and a new semester.  I'm really hoping that 2011 kicks 2010's butt in a good way!  After last year I am really in need of a good year!
