Back on Track

Happy December, Blog Land!

Haha, isn’t that the truth? I would have loved to sleep late this morning, but vacation is OVER.  I’m at peace with that fact, honestly.  After half a week of rich food, alcohol, pie, schmoozing, pie, travel, and pie, I definitely need to get back on track, mentally and physically.

I’m trying to make December a healthier, less stressful month.  I’m going to make a serious effort to be nicer to myself by taking better care of the ol’ body and mind.  To start this resolution, after work Sunday morning I stopped at Uncommon Grounds to do something I rarely ever do: enjoy 20 minutes alone.  My bagel and I people-watched and read Metroland.

On Monday I worked from home which allowed me to run some errands and clean/rearrange the house.  We moved furniture around a little (and made room for future Christmas decorations!).  We added a desk for The Roommate and set up a small bar area in the living room.

Taking all this stuff out of its previous home in a nook in the kitchen opened up more space for our table.  We can now all comfortably sit at our kitchen table together! What a crazy idea!

It looks so much better in here! Don’t you feel better when you rearrange your living space to make it more stream-lined and comfortable?

As part of my personal healthier living initiative, The Boyfriend and I signed up for a free month-long membership at Best Fitness  and we’ve got a workout date Wednesday morning.  I have a free membership to the YMCA because I work there, but I like having a gym buddy and hopefully this month will start me on some positive habits I can carry into 2010.

Enjoy your Tuesday! Look for snow (we had a few flakes in Albany this morning)!
