The extravagances and splurges of December, 2013, are behind us as we get back on our proper eating and exercise track. It was not a pretty picture yesterday when we stepped on the scale to start 2014. Although we did a terrific job in 2013 in losing weight and changing our eating habits, we let December's holiday cheer get the best of us. Both of us gained weight at the end, but we finished the year down 22 pounds for Josie, and 30 pounds for me. It didn't take much in December to put some weight back on, but we are now back on the losing side for 2014.
Our effort begins today to remove and pack away all of the Christmas decorations for another year. We plan to have everything ready for storage by tomorrow. It's not nearly as much fun taking them down and packing them away as it is putting them up and enjoying them.
We got word that Taylor will be in the area over the weekend for a fast-pitch softball tournament that we heard about from Debby over the holidays. We will plan to catch one of her games while we are in the area tomorrow and look forward to watching her play. She will have a busy schedule with about 8 games to play over the next three days, beginning tonight. It will be exciting for us to see her play.
Aside from taking down the decorations today, we have several other errands to run on Josie's days off from work. I have to take one of my hearing aids into the clinic to be sent back for warranty work and we have to stock up on good food - fruits, vegetables and fish - for our healthy diets. The dreaded "tax season" is almost upon us, so I have to pick up some materials at Staples or Office Max for our record keeping in the new year to replace the ones we used for 2013.
We are off and running in 2014...
