Resolutions

What happened to time? I think I got stuck in a procrastination time warp. I thought about my blog regularly and every once in a while I would peek in on it like a sleeping child. I meant to update it but then life happened.

I resolve to do a better job at keeping my blog updated. There, now that the first entry of the new year and the resolution are out of the way maybe I can proceed.

So what really happened? TV. All the new shows came on. Have you seen 24 hours yet? That show captivated me. Then again anything that keeps me from doing the walking DVD's that I asked for at Christmas is a welcome diversion. Walking can be hard work. I swear my arms hurt after just one session. I was so proud that I did the first segment of it. Then I found out that it wasn't the end of the segment but a switch to the strength building exercizes. I decided to perform those visually and mentally. Somehow that's just not quite as effective on the cellulite.

On a more encouraging note my weight loss is continuing at a steady pace and I survived the holidays and lost weight in tandem. Not bad. I'm back to keeping daily entries in my journal. I've been keeping a daily journal for years now and I disappoint myself when I skip days or even a week at a time. I did some sketching over the holidays. I was thrilled that I still knew how.

I'm adding the two sketches I did as Christmas gifts for my kids. The portraits are graphite drawings of my two grandsons. Their parents loved them.
