Golden Globes Hits and Misses

Welcome back. I took a little while to blog about this year's Golden Globes fashions because it is so difficult to really appreciate the clothes on the television set I wanted to wait until the photos came out in the magazines.
So the award for the show with the most misses goes to the case of "Glee". I thought Lea Michele and Diana Argon really should have been wearing more than paper snow flakes. They both are very toned and fit but there are some things that should be left to the imagiination.
As far as the hits, I think this was a much better fashion year than last year. Stacy Kiebler, Sophia Vergara and Charlize Theron were my favorite. I loved the color of Charlize;s gown and felt it was very unique and she was taking risks without going to far. I also thought the hair was done as the perfect accessory for all three dresses.
Leave me a comment giving me your hits and missses.

The New Age of Exercise

Ok, so one of my New Year's Resolutions is weight loss and I have finally found a form of exercise that will hold my interest! (I think) It is the Xbox Kinect. My husband bought it for Christmas as kind of a "family Christmas gift" and I must say it is a really fun activity that burns calories while playing. I think if more kids in the US played this game console, instead of the standard one, obesity would not be such a big epidemic in the country.
So far, the Kinect games we have are the following: Kinect Sports Season 1 and 2, Just Dance 3, Zumba Party, The Biggest Loser, Disneyland, and Victorious (for my 5 going on 12 daughter). EVERY SINGLE GAME leaves me panting and sweating and drinking a bottle of water a time while playing. On some more intense game nights, I even wake up the next morning feeling sore.
I may not have a personal trainer, but to me any form of cardio is a good first step, right? I haven't weighed myself since I started this but I think it will be a good change for my health. I will update my blog at a later date with my progress! My next blog will be about Golden Globe fashion!

Holiday Recovery

Wow! It's been quite a long time since my last blog. It is eleven days into the new year and I've got to say, I am still in vacation mode. I think when the new year begins, the easiest way to recover is to make a resolution. I know the statistics for people keeping their resolutions are very negative, but the resolution I'm talking about isn't one that should last the whole year, but the month of January.
The way I try to recover from the holidays is through organization. Partly due to necessity (my kids get so many new clothes and toya for Christmas I need to make room), and partly to jump start the year, I organize the house. I clean out the kids' clothes and toys and make donations to the salvation army and I do the same for my husband's and my clothes. This year, I even did it with stuff around the house, like old decor, bedding, towels, and kitchen stuff. I have resolved this year to worry less about "stuff" and more about the relationships in my life. By getting rid of the exess and keeping only what I need, I feel this is a good place to start.
Another thing I began organizing was my time. I am still struggling with this but I am trying to budget my time to make room for exercising, planning meals, grocery shopping, and cooking. All of these things will lead to a healthier me but they also takee time out of a day that seems already so full of important thing. My health however, needs to be a priority for 2012.
The last thing I am organizing is my career, I have resolved to take some online webinars and read some professional literature that will improve my efficiency on the job and in essense, free up some minutes to concentrate on my health and my family. I will keep you updated on my prgress and will blog again soon on my newest exercise obesession for 2012!
