Well another year has ended and it’s been quite sometime since my last post. I know .. I’ve been slacking here. So, a quick update as to what’s been going on with me:

I’m hoping to get back on track with my workouts and heart-healthy menus again. The holidays are hell to work around. It’s a little hard for me now that he’s back because I feel guilty about having to feed him some of the dishes I’ve been making for us while he’s been away even if I know he’d like it. I don’t know if “guilty” is the right word though. It’s more a feeling of embarrassment. Although we’ve been married for over 25 years, there are still some things that I feel embarrassed to speak to him about and my weight loss program tops the list. It’s not that he’ll tease me or degrade me, it’s just that I get easily offended if HE says anything about it. Whether his intentions are good or not, I feel like it’s not a subject for HIM to discuss with me because he’s my husband. I know, it’s weird but then I’m weird about some things.

Ok, enough about weight loss. Let’s move on to my failed attempt at tobacco cessation. Did I mention “FAILED”. That’s right folks! When hubby got home, I went brain dead or something because I haven’t taken a single happy pill and now I’ve not only increased the amount of cigarettes I smoke, I’ve also graduated from menthol lights to full flavor KOOL’s. Arggghhh! When he’s back to working a regular schedule, I’ll get back to working on all these things I was doing so well on before he returned.

Oh, he got me a Tungsten E Palm pilot and I love it! So does my demonchild grand daughter. I’ve installed some cute little programs on it already and there’s this one little angel that says random quotes and she loves to play with that. I’ve been searching the web for free programs for my new toy. I ended up downloading a bunch of free ebooks and adobe books to read when I get back to dragging my butt to the gym and hit the treadmill. This toy has an expansion slot for SD memory cards which is where I’ve stored all the downloaded books and I’ll need to get some of my mp3 files back on my puter so I can save it on a SD card so I’ll have something to listen to when I’m working out. I just love my little toy! Even if it doesn’t have pictures in the ebooks, I’ve got some children’s stories that I can read to Kamalani when we need some quiet time and I don’t feel like hauling a bunch of books downstairs to read. It’s not the top of the line but it’s perfect for me.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and I’ll keep up more with this blog. Til next time, a belated Hauoli Makahiki Hou!
