I have been lying around like the Queen of the Heifers for far too long, so today with our forecast of 60 be-yoo-ti-ful degrees, I loaded up 3 out of 4 kids and headed for the closest mountain. We packed up our backpacks and hiked the smallest trail to the top. Once we arrived, we hung out at the conservatory for about a half hour before we made our descent. This little guy here is quite the hiker!
I have to tell you that it was high time that I get this heiny moving because I was starting to feel AW-FUL! I know my carb/fat rich holiday diet has been wreaking pure havoc on my body and to make matters worse, I haven't moved an inch without an exorbitant amount of protest for the last week (at least). It is pretty bad when you can't even sleep at night because of how much you have lounged around all day. Or that my muscles hurt probably due to under-use, and my head was pounding because of all the TV/movies that I have mindlessly watched. Yuck, yuck, yuck!Oh, and don't let the last post fool you. THAT was the exception.
Anyway, we all decided to come "unplugged" today and it was well, well worth it (Mark and Jake went on a hunting trip today too). There is just nothing like God's creation to renew mind, body and Spirit.
Happy New Year Friends!

That looks way fun! Around here, it's just gray snow and ice from weeks ago. It'll probably be around 'til April. I like a white Christmas but I'd like the 60 degrees Jan. 1st!
too funny about the trampoline. i posted about sneezing in Dicks Sporting Goods a few weeks ago with the same results. Yikes, getting old is scary.
we've had warm temps in NC (visiting parents) but LOTS of rain. i'm so ready for my own bed and my own stuff. we've slept in the floor and on the couch for too many nights. i'm ready for some warmer SC weather!

I'm with you! The extent of my outdoor activity has been standing shivering in the cold while coaxing the puppy to hurry up, or trying to get her to chase me around the yard to help expedite the process. Hardly counts. We went ice skating Friday and it felt so good to get that kind of fun exercise!
I wanted to apologize for not commenting sooner. You really blessed me a couple of weeks ago on my "some women but not me" post, and I never said thank you! Please accept my belated thanks!
Grace and Peace,
Angel
The fact that you can go outside right now causes great envy. We are in the middle of the rainy season and I would drown if I went outside.
We needed to get out the other day for some fresh air- too much eating. I will be glad to get back to some routine. Tomorrow I am back to exercising and am going to try to detox the sugar out of my system!
