A month and a day?

Has it really been that long since I've last posted?  WOW!!!  And haven't even posted December goals either.  Slacker.

Kinda feels like a good word for how the entire month of November went actually.....not for lack of wanting on my part.....but just a bunch of crap that came up, and de-railed my best laid plans.

Add that since getting back from Dallas for Thanksgiving, that I have yet another respiratory issue (thank you stupid Texas weather and its constant back and forth changing constantly bull$h*t) and if I so much as walk around too much too fast/get the slightest bit too warm.....I go in to a coughing fit.  Yeah......not exactly conducive to going to the gym, lifting weights till Im dripping with sweat, and running three times a week to prep for the two 5Ks I have coming up in Feb and March of 2013 (and plans to schedule more next year too).

HOWEVER...anyone that knows me well enough, knows, this will NOT keep me down long. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, and (fingers crossed) will be back in the gym come Monday.  And hoping that the cold front headed this way KEEPS IT COLD in Houston thru the winter for crying out loud.  Need this endless back and forth between 83 degrees one day and 55 degrees two days later crap to stop.  Tired of not being able to breathe without a coughing fit. 

So...what are my goals for December?  Im gonna make it short and sweet...to maintain the weight I am at right now, choose as sensibly as I possibly can for meals on a daily basis, and make it thru the holidays healthy and getting back on track...on top of all that the holidays bring to the table for stress and craziness.

Such as hosting the Salinas family shindig for Christmas this year at our house.......the entire army descending on my house on Sunday the 23rd for food, family, gifts, football and good times.  Lots of prep and work go in to it, but its so worth it as we have a great time.....and would be easy to just throw my hands up and say whatever...I will just be lax till the new year...but I'm not going to.  Need to retain some semblance of reason and good sense here and maintain maintain maintain at the very least.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas with family, friends and good times, and a safe and Happy New Year.  Not that Im blowing off the blog for sure between now and then, just wanted to throw it out there now before the month gets away from me and its suddenly January!!!  HA!!!!!  :)
