whew! made it to a new year!
Wow! Where the hell did 2010 go?
Two big things: I haven't watched the new Primeval episodes yet! I have them going on my computer, and will probably watch them tomorrow, but until then NO SPOILERS!!
Also, I am going to lose weight. yes, I know I've been saying this for the past how many years? But now, I'm going to. My mom put forth the challenge of, if we all get in shape (and lose weight) by April, we might get to do a walking tour of Scotland in the fall! That's right! Hamish Macbeth country! Squee!
This also means that I can't eat junk food. So i've decided that when I get home, I will throw out the remaining pie. (Even as I write this, i'm thinking nooo, Ariel, don't waste perfectly good pie! And cookies!) But either way I am definitely going to the gym tomorrow. I'm not talking marathons right away or anything.
Current weight: 220
Goal: 180
Ideal weight: 130 (yeah right.)
I can do this! For Hamish! For Scotland! For me!!
