What. A. Week.
I had the most wonderful Christmas. Having my husband home, being with my family, it was just perfect. I got so many wonderful gifts as well, so many things I've been wanting for a while!
Now, all of a sudden, tomorrow is the final day of 2012.
What?
Where has this last week gone?
We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my family, then headed for Maryland the day after, and this has been the best trip ever!
So.much.shopping.
My in-laws got me a sterling silver bracelet, and a hand painted wine glass, and hubs got a REALLY nice watch, and it's been good food and shopping pretty much since we got here. Let me tell you guys, if you live around DC, Leesburg outlet malls have fantastic after Christmas sales. I got some really cute tops, and even more workout attire for some amazing prices. I'll post pictures of what I got tomorrow before the NYE festivities start.
What was your favorite thing you got this year? And what are your resolutions for 2013?

Another Day, another workout, another TDY
Monday.
It just SOUNDS unpleasant. I've never been a fan of Mondays. Especially not this one, where I had to wake up unbelievably early to drop hubs off at the squadron for his TDY. Hated being up early, and haaaattteeee it when he leaves. It is part of the life, however, so I'll just push on as always.
I'm about to go do Pilates. As y'all know, I'm a big fan of Pop Pilates. If you haven't heard if them before, search on YouTube. They're an amazing workout. The shorter ones are great to do throughout the day if you don't have a lot of time, but I adore the longer ones. I have a goal in mind, ands good timeframe to achieve it, so we'll see if I actually can!
Something I wanted to mention. I went for a jog the other day after work, and saw something funny; this woman was 'running', but stopped literally every few feet to fix her hair and adjust her top.
1. Always wear something you don't have to fiddle with while you're working out.
2. If you're thinking about your hair, your not focusing in your workout/form, and could more easily trip and fall. Which she almost did.
And besides..

The Big Move!
So this will probably be the only post I do this week, it's going to be really busy for me. We're signing for the house on Thursday, so I have to get started on re-packing for the move. I'm so beyond excited, but man, I'm going to be exhausted after we get moved in. Thankfully, some of his friends from his squadron are going to help us move this time, so hopefully we'll get it done in a day.
One of the things I'm looking forward to most when we move on base is the fact that I'll be able to use the gym every day. I can now, but it's a pain to deal with gate traffic and everything for a workout. Really looking forward to trying the Zumba class, and there's a lap pool as well, so I can get back into swimming, which is my all-time favorite workout. (No wonder I was a lifeguard for forever!)
It's going to be great after we get moved, and since we'll have so much room, I'll actually be able to have a home gym. Can't wait to set it up and show it to you guys!
I'll be sure to take lots of pictures after we get unpacked. Have a great week everyone!

Day One
Today's workout will be very tough. I got very little sleep last night due to our little puppy, so I know my workout is going to kill me later. I'm going to do 45 minutes in the elliptical, as the treadmill here at the fitness center here broke, and after my nap that I'm about to take, I'm going to do some serious Pilates. After I worked out yesterday, I felt so amazing, I'm definitely looking forward to getting back into my workouts. I'm going grocery shopping this afternoon, can't wait to get all my healthy goodies! I'll post up my grocery list and a picture of my goodies later!
I had an email asking what my favorite post workout snack/food/drink is, and I gotta say, I love just plain old Gatorade diluted with water, and a cliff protein bar. Nothing fancy, just enough to keep me full until I get my next real meal. Keep sending in your questions!
