Christy's New Year's Weight Loss Challenge

I am starting the new year off with the same resolution I have every year ~ "lose weight"! However this year I am challenging myself to obtain this goal by doing three things~
1.      To Workout More
2.      Eating Better
3.      Taking the bad stress and stressors out of my life

By doing these three things I believe I can achieve my weight loss goal for 2010  

This is me now at 218 pounds ..I know shocking right??? I plan to lose 25 pounds by the end of  March!

So I will continue to do weekly updates and hopefully I can not only achieve my goals but motivate and inspire some of you to do the same thing.

New Year's Blizzard Bocce Bowl

Every New Year's Day, the Italian Heritage Society of Indiana's Bocce Committee sponsors the "Blizzard Bocce Bowl."  This year was no exception, and at 10 degrees, it was one of the coldest yet!  30 die-hards showed up and shared a couple of hours of fun and wine to kick off the new year.

Taking down the Christmas Tree

Since ringing in the new year it is time to take down the tree ~ Kevin says that its easier taking down than putting it up and I am inclined to agree with him~ He took the tree down and I put away the Christmas decorations around the house while Bailey and Boomer helped with taking down the tree ..or something like that

Boomer is enjoying the last layer of the tree before it goes in the box

 But then we found him in the box and he stayed there for a little while

So Boomer didn't want the tree to be put away but he eventually left the Christmas Tree box and let us put it up! Goodbye to Christmas 2009 ~ welcome the new year!!
