On Saturday after Christmas, the beautiful weather continued and we ended up going skiing. Yes, you saw that right..."we". As in, me too. Actually, me AND Nana! Nana ended up being a ski hustler, she told me she hadn't been in over 15 years and assured me that she would be at my level. First run of the day? She's swooshing down the mountain like she does it every day! Hustled by my own mother in law!! :)
Here is a lovely shot of me, looking about as clumsy as I feel coming down the slope.
But seriously, the weather was perfect that day, and the boys had a blast of course! I was completely drained by the end of the day, and well into the next day... Sunday was a blur, I was pretty much useless.
The week after Christmas, I decided that I needed to get back on track with some type of workout. The number of times I exercised since the first week of December added up to zero. That week was when my total body fusion class I take at work ended, and then I spent the remainder of the month walking to the closet to get cookies and called it a workout. I had signed up for that class again and would start the first week of January after going back to work, so I knew that if I didn't do something over the break, it would be absurdly painful to start that class back up. So I popped in the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred 3 times the week after Christmas and tried to not die or swear at the TV.
You know, they say you can learn a lot about yourself when you work out....kind of get lost in your own mind and really focus on YOU. I found that I did learn something that week....I learned that if I mute the TV so I don't hear Jillian's voice yelling at me to keep going and replace it with a blaring Britney Spears playlist on my phone instead, I am much, much happier. Namaste.
I'd like to think that maybe Brit was even cheering me on....
For new years eve, we headed over to the neighbors house, they host a small get together every year (super convenient for us, since we just have to walk across the street!) We came home around 11, got the boys to bed, then I declared that I was going to bed, too. Brian gave me a hard time since it was almost 11:20 by then and couldn't believe that I'd just give up on seeing midnight at that point. Ugh. FINE. So I drag myself downstairs (just in time to see Taylor Swift perform, so at least there was that!) Then, I look over after her performance to find this....
OHHHHHHHHH.....maybe going to bed wasn't such a crazy idea, huh?? Then I promptly passed out myself during the commercial that aired around 11:55pm. We woke up on the couch in a state of confusion at 12:30, mumbled a "happy new year" and stumbled up to bed. #wildandcrazy
On New Years day, we met a few friends and their kids at the bowling alley, which is always a good time!
And that, my friends, pretty much summed up our Christmas break. As always, it went too fast, but we had fun while it lasted!!
