A Time to Hibernate

Come this time of year and this year is no different, I start feeling like a bear who is putting on the pounds in preparation to hibernate. They say the average person gains 7 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Years and though I haven't been on a scale yet my body (especially my tummy and thighs) feels like it's well on its way to becoming a member of the Seven Pound Club. I know it doesn't help that I caved and ate my traditional day after Thanksgiving breakfast--leftover pecan pie-- and then had another piece of apple later that afternoon. I did the same on Saturday. Is anyone else feeling like the pie has a stronger will than you? I guess it's a good thing the pie and ice cream have now officially left the building! That just means I ate it all.

Apple pie has become the breakfast of champions in our house!!

The picture you're asking about was taken on the grassy area at High Plains Elementary School.

I totally understand. But, on the bright side, you've added your work-out log to your blog which is totally inspiring me to do something like that. I doubt you'll make it into the 7 lb. club!

Oh, you've hit a weak spot with me! Pecan pie for breakfast doesn't sound as bad as putting a scoop of ice-cream in your cold cereal (yes, my sister and I used to do that in highschool--yuck!)
