Our Christmas Day this year was idyllic — Mike and I were on our honeymoon in Costa Rica. Here, I lounge on a catamaran off the coast of Manuel Antonio National Park.

In this one, you can see a little more clearly the *before* nature of these pictures. I’m pretty thankful at this point for the sarong! In time, not only will I not need the sarong; I’ll want to buy a smaller-sized pair of bikini bottoms. Really. I mean it.
Once I got myself moving, I felt wonderful about getting started. So far today:
I’d hoped to take the dog out for some more T-Tapp stance walking, but work just gets in the way. At least I feel like I *did* something today! I mailed my 30%-off coupon voucher last Friday, so I’m hopeful that they’ll email soon to tell me I can order.
I’m *so* getting the Total System. This just feels right.
Friday/Saturday: Nada. Zip. Zilch.
We headed to Albuquerque for errands (my GOD Santa Fe is so freakin’ small), and I simply didn’t *want* to attempt to figure out form on new exercises with the dh around — he’s off every other Friday.
On Saturday, I planned to hit it as soon as dh left for his dance class, but the *instant* that he closed the garage door to head out, my daughter woke from her nap. Clingy. Oh, well.
Sunday: We walked (as a family) about 3 miles along an often snow/ice-covered bike trail that runs near our home. During the walk, I carried my daughter (23-24 pounds) on my back, and emphasized form, trying to remember to tuck my hips and raise my chest. Don’t you know, I was sore afterward? It’s amazing how just a little form change can make even a simple walk into a workout!
