Here I am - sun bathing on the beach yesterday. I figured tan fat looks better then pale fat. Hee hee... We went to La Jolla yesterday to see the seals. They are so cute and I can't imagine how boring their life must be! Then again, sleeping all day, eating whenever they want while not having to care about their girlie figures, skinny dipping in the day light - it does sound like a fairly fun life. Although if I had to only dine on sushi for every meal, I might not enjoy it as much as I do now!
Watching The Biggest Loser last night or maybe wathing the seals sun bathe or maybe stepping on the scale today after the holidays - I'm ready to start my January diet! Yes, every year I vow to lose the 5-10 pounds I have put on throughout the year. So it is time to pull out my frozen weight watcher dinners and stop eating junk. Anyone want to join me on a diet/exercise lose some weight goal? I think most women have this goal for the new year - so let's all do it together and keep each other motivated! First I'm off to finish all the fudge and candy though so it doesn't tempt me...
I'm a big New Year's goal setter. Every year, we set individual goals as a family and discuss how we did last year. It is so cute to hear the goals the girls set and keep setting every year (sleep in our own beds never seems to get accomplished!). Besides losing weight, I'm going to get my butt to the doctor to take care of some issues I have been ignoring forever. I also want to get my house organized a bit and keep it cleaner (less scrapping perhaps?!!!). I have a few others as well, but overall, I just want to focus on getting ME taken care of spiritually, physically and emotionally. I have been too busy taking care of everything else and it is the year of getting me back to good happiness and health.
Have a great New Year everyone and share your goals - I would love to hear them! Suzy
Cute pics Suzy Q!!! :) I'm dusting off my treadmill tomorrow! It's time to put it to good use!

Hi Suzy,
Love your pictures. Could you email me what beach that is at or how to get there. We live in So cal too and my youngest daughter would freak if I took her to the beach and she saw that. She loves animals and it would be such a great treat. Thanks Deena

FYI Suzy!!!
I'll have you know that Martha, the one you pictured first, is very 'figure' conscious. She's actually exfoliating in that photo and she watches everything she eats. Calorie counting is her thing!
Got your wonderful card today! thanks!

Those seals look dead, I think they baked in the sun too long!=)
I missed the Biggest Loser! Dang, love that show. I forgot they were starting the couples up.
I will have to think of some goals. Hmmm . . .

You were right! That is one of my main goals too....lose the 7 pounds I have been carrying round and just bought 1 pair of bigger pants to accomodate (I don't want to buy more because then I will cave in but I can't handle being vaccum sealed in to pants at all times either!). My other goals are to stay on top of projects that I seem to put off continually around the house as well as get rid of stuff that sits in closet that is never used or even thought of....I think it will help my organization! Well, good luck with your goals everyone!

Those are cool photos! Living in upstate NY myself---we don't see seals around here--unless it's at a zoo! Thanks for sharing!
my resolution this year is to be an advocate for my own health! I have been having problems with my back/neck/shoulder since last May---I have been told by MDs that I am just stressed (being a mother of three little ones)--and to take an anti-depressent (which didn't work too well for me--reaction), that I am too high strung, it's all in my head, etc...
Well, 8 months later, and still in tons of pain---I am going in with the BIG GUNS and advocating for MY HEALTH! I know what my body feels, how I 'function', and will find other MDs if I have to! This is nonsense, and I am tired of it!
It is even hard for me to "organize", clean or whatever, let alone scrap very often--so....
THAT is MY GOAL! :)

Happy New Year!

uhm, I've seen you IRL and you look NOTHING like those seals! You have nothing to lose! But I totally love Biggest Loser. It's one of the most inspiring shows. I sooo wanted a woman to win this year! Oh well, the guys do it again. I wonder if there is any way to give the women a handicap. I was so impressed with Julie! Loved her!
