SparkNB's Journey to Fitness

  It's orthodoXmas today, so that means that my fam's holidaze is finally coming to a close, though we have 2 bdays in about a month, including mine. Our schedule of festivities include starting to seriously celebrate at Solstice, aka Yule, (for me) then catholic/protestant xmas for some of the fam, (& work & school gigs & days off) w xmas eve the most important. My sister flies in from Canada, after Boxing Day, which is a thing there, sometimes her husband does good works then (12-26) & stays til after New Year's. Then it's quiet until Jan 6+7, when various locals get together, because everyone out of town is busy back at work/school.         It was actually super fun as a kid, having 2 xmas's, & the "BIG" haul was usually on the 25th, partly because the rest of the culture did it then, plus mom's Catholicism basically overrode Dad's (& thus the kids') Orthodox Christian schedule. But still a gift or 2 on orthodoXmas, u...

Spark articles recommend focusing not just on the scale but on other measures, especially fitness measures. I have NEVER really been able to do push-ups (or pull-ups, but 1 thing at a time) www.sparkpeople. com/resource/fitness_artic les.asp?id=1003  recommends wall push-ups, so off to do some of those, while watching piyo informercial (motivating!)

  Another Goal: decluttering/organizing I think I am gonna do a Jan-heavy org'ing (the 30 days kinda thing), to make a big push, and also 100 days...hopefully will mostly be done by then, because it really needs to be & things would be SO much better when it is! My main projects to declutter/organize/re-set-up are a few large rooms in the basement, in the next 30 days, including my bedroom, office, exercise area, 2 craft spaces (wet, dry) & TV area. Also, later, in the rest of the first 100 days of the year (basically into April) some other areas, esp. the garage, & maybe an area to start seeds for the garden. Much of this WAS organized at one point, but a couple of (smallish but very disruptive) floods.... Also, I am a scrap-craft'r, I hate throwing out perfectly useful resources for future projects (why give my $$$ to Michael's when I can diy many things if I don't throw stuff away.... ;) ..         to officially start: Wednesday: skip day (ended u...
