Getting My Groove Back

 Today the stationary bike came back out of the garage and into the dining room.  It's time to start working on those several extra pounds I have put on over the last week.

From here I can watch the rain dripping from the trees and catch up on magazines that have been piling up unread.
Earlier today we changed and laundered all of the bedding in the guest rooms, took down the dining table, put away the gift wrapping station, and did some general putting away and vacuuming.  I started adding dates to the 2012 calendar and prepared some documents for processing as a beneficiary of my mother's estate.


Now I have finished my ten mile "ride".  Here is what I found in the family room.  
But then Tom is better at resisting sweets than I am, and he seems to be able to lose weight just by contemplating it.

    I should exercise myself. Guess I prefer to snooze on the sofa like Tom!

    My twin granddaughters are here, so I haven't checked myself in yet to the land of good eating and exercise. A few more days!

    Thanks for sharing your family this holiday season. It's so much joy for those of us who can no longer do all the wonderful things you do.

    I like Tom's approach to life! A nap sounds good to me.

    I do like your bike, and you have a perfect place to put it. It helps to have a view while riding ten miles!

    Good for you. Keep on keeping on in getting back in your groove.

    I've been walking more and trying to move as much as I can because, YES! I gained a couple of pounds back that I just lost. Sheesh! I know you'll lose those pounds quickly!

    And men always lose weight faster than women do, it's just a biological fact, sigh says I. Things are returning to normal and I am getting ready to say hello to my treadmill :) Happy New Year!

    I'm ready to start walking again. But your husband seems to have the right idea (at least the preferable idea). Ha!
