No Sugar Contest Finale!

Today is January 2, 2009. Which means my, "No Sugar Contest,” ended two days ago. In the end I flubbed all over the place. The closer it got to Christmas the more goodies that rolled in the house. The weaker my resolve became. I was a very naughty girl! Just being honest here.

However, prior to the week before Christmas, I was a very good girl. So I'm giving myself a break! I can do that right? I have decided to start the, "No Sugar" diet again. Except this time it won’t be a contest for you. Just a personal goal for me to say away from sugar. I really did feel better not eating sugar. I also noticed the huge side effect of my children eating less junk.

It is the first of the year, so you know, no matter how much I say I'm not going to set a specific weight loss goal. The one thing I WANT to do is set a specific weight loss goal. I'm holding out against my instincts and I'm just going to continue down the path I'm on.  Working toward better overall health.  My goals are to finish the 104 mile bike ride, run the city 5k (again) with a better time, and participate in the youth 41 mile Trek in July.

That is enough to keep we working towards better overall health. Without throwing a specific number of pounds to loose into the mix. Here is to better health in 2009!

On to the contest winner.

The deal was if you didn't catch me with my hand in the cookie jar, the winner was the person who left the most comments. The start date was October 27th and the finish Date was December 31st.

The winner by a single comment is WILLOW!!

I thought you had it hands down Willow but as I was tallying the comments Ashleee was behind by only one comment. One more comment and I would have had a tie. :)

Thank you everyone for your support.  I had lots of fun and enjoyed all of your comments.  It is so fun to hear what everyone thinks.

WOOHOO!!!!

Of course you thought I had this contest in the bag.... I left the longest comments in the history of blog-comment-leaving.

Whew... I didn't realize that Ashleeeee was so close to edging me out of a victory dance. (Be glad you can't see said dance of victorious gloating; it is NOT pretty.)

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive! 

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
