Deep In The Forrest

Before I Get Too Deep. Does anyone else experience it? The 'after-holiday-what-the-hell-day-is-this' syndrome? I, being out an extra day for the holiday have been all screwed up. Thought it was Tuesday, then I thought it was Thursday yesterday, so today (yesterday's tomorrow) would be Friday. Nope it's just Thursday... which is just fine with me. Mr. X and I have been trying to get back on track (literally) to the tune of waking up at 5:00 a.m. for our first-morning cardio/fat blast workout, and then still doing our weight lifting 3 days a week... In the midst of this we're cutting down on carbs. After lifting, however, you need--and can have the carbs. Believe you me-i'd lift 9 days a week if I can eat my carbs!! So no flavored coffee for me today, no candies (as if I didn't have enough of this stuff during Christmas time). It's hard getting completely back in the swing... But when your clothes begin to loosen and fall off-it always makes you feel 110...

12 Days 9 Hours 22 Minutes 'What's with the countdown?' you ask... Well, it's how long I have until Christmas. Less than 13 days until Christmas [as I write this]. Why then, do I still see no snowflakes? Why then, are the temperatures dancing around in the mid-60s? The only thing I want to see in the 60s in December are maybe videos from The Doors or Jimi Hendrix (a few others perhaps)... but NOT the temperature. What do I have to do to see some freaking snowflakes around here?? I guess I may as well stop with the whining... I know what i'm bargaining with living in this area of the country. If I want a blizzard, I should be in Colorado or Alaska :) Ok, so enough of that. I've got to stop being a Holiday mood-killer. I have yet to send out my Christmas cards, mostly because i'm still trying to locate them within the chaotic realm that I call home. Come to think of it, I've only received a couple cards in the mail myself, so I guess everyone is running ...
