FLANNEL, FUR, & THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG

What a lazy day!
The weather has been perfect for being a slug. Flannel pjs, flannel throws, big socks, furry friends, my boy back from his dads and watching the old Disney movie. Nat and I are still goofing over this movie after all these years. It is really fun to hear him giggle--since becoming a teen I mostly only hear grunts, sighs, and "whatever".

Unfortunately, I have not been working out consistently for the last couple of weeks. The fitness center has been kind of a bummer. I really miss my old workout at the Y. A friend explained to me last week that my wanting to disassociate from my workouts makes complete sense. I have not reached the level of competition that requires association to better my performance. It was necessary for me to disassociate from the pain in order to stay motivated.

Rather than beat myself up I have decided to take a small seasonal rest. Seems like I have tried to "watch" what I eat every Thanksgiving of my life. This year I am going to enjoy it to its fullest w/ my friends Jen & Sean at her folks in Illinois. It seems as if the "rest" this time of year is pretty common among the bloggers that I keep up on. The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is when we signup for TNT (Trained in TH) for the Mini so I will be right back on track again.
