Yes, I'm a slacker

So, yea, I've been neglecting this blog. I suppose it's like any other habit, you have to do it 21 days in a row to make it a natural thing and I'm terrible about forming new habits. It's almost harder than breaking bad ones.

Take going to the gym, for example...I can go for about 3 days in a row and then I get bored or something comes up and throws off my schedule. Now, I reaaalllyy want to start going to the gym on a regular basis. I have a girls weekend away coming up in April that I'd really like to be in better shape for. It's in Florida and you know what that means...bathing suits. Ugh, oh, the dreaded trying on of bathing suits. So, I really must make more of an effort to get to the gym. For my lazy self, I've considered getting a treadmill or elliptical machine to use at home but I just can't see paying that kind of money when I have a perfectly good gym membership. Free, in fact, since my hubby is military and we have use of a top-notch facility.

Now, it also doesn't help that we keep getting all types of goodies in the mail. Goodies of the chocolate variety...my weakness. Can you say Almond Roca??? or chocolate covered almonds or biscotti or, oh, I'm getting cravings just thinking about what's lurking in my kitchen right now. I...must...resist.

So, maybe, just maybe, I'll get myself to the gym today...but first, I have to go to the post office, shovel the sidewalk, wrap Christmas gifts, clean the kitchen, oh, gee, I just don't think I'll make it today...
