Motivation

It turns out there's nothing like a Caribbean vacation to motivate one to exercise. I have been kickboxing like no other lately. Even last night, around 6pm, when I thought I was too tired, the urge suddenly struck me. Another motivator? I get a new Victoria's Secret catalog in the mail every other day.

Lately I have been lusting after this swimsuit. OK, so maybe I would really rather have this other swimsuit, but hey, I'm going for slightly less then delusional here!

Today, I may have to find my exercise shoveling snow off the roof of our house. There's already over a foot up there, and a new storm is on the way. I'd ask Monte to do it, but we all know how that goes. After all, it is Lay-off!

When will it end?

The forecast for the next week is snow, snow, snow for Northern Idaho! When will Winter finally be over? Tonight they are warning about a possible 6-9"! Monte keeps asking me why I didn't plan our Jamaican vacation for earlier than April, and even though I did have a plan at the time, on days like today I am wondering the same thing.

I did find the perfect candle for snowy weather. I just started burning a WoodWick Candle this week that's called "Snowflake." It smells heavenly, like mint and white chocolate. If you've never tried a WoodWick candle, they are awesome! There is no smoke or black soot whatsoever. I will try to post a picture later of my candle, that has been burning for over 10 hours with NO black around the glass! They really do have a wood wick, which is cleaner and crackles while it burns. Very fun and it makes my whole house smell good!

We are supposed to take the kids bowling this afternoon. Depending on the weather, of course. I prefer not to drive 30 miles in a blizzard! If we go, I'm sure there will be comical stories to tell tomorrow.

My sister and I are having a weight loss contest. She just had a baby, and I just ate myself this way. Every week, the loser pays the other their difference in weight lost. Should be interesting, I will have to channel my exercise diva more often or I will be literally paying the price!

If it's snowing where you are, hopefully you have a warm fire and a sewing machine to cozy up to! I will be cozied up to my longarm all day tomorrow!
