My name is Stacy and I am an Emotinal Eater. (Hi Stacy)
Thankfully there is nothing in the house that I want--I would love to have some ice cream or brownies or ice cram and brownies with hot fudge on top. And maybe a bit of alchohol to wash it all down.
I am trying not to think about food and trying to figure out what else I could do that would help me feel better. hmph. maybe some yoga would help center me and bring me to a place that knows everythings going to be alright and it's just my over active imagination that is jumping to conclusions and racing towards the what if's and the what might be's. Athough maybe just simple meditation--sitting in the quiet with my thoughts and bringing forth the positives and help me find a very sun shinny place where everything is perfect (okay it doesn't have to be perfect--just not so gray)
So here I go to sit alone with my thoughts and become okay with what ever comes about.

Jan 13 results
I am up a pound this week. I have started to add workouts again into my life. I have to prep for my half marathon somehow. I am so very much looking forward to the days that have light longer so I can go outdoors to walk. Leslie (the walk away the pounds lady) is very nice and helpful and I enjoy her videos, however, for me nothing is like walking outside.
I did buy something to put on my shoes to help me from slipping so I can take to walking in the outdoors and when I get the chance, I plan to take my walking poles with me to help with the workout and keep me from falling too much--I just need to find (make) the time to get my bum out there and get over my case of the too's (it's too dark, it's too cold, I'm too tired, I'm too lazy to get myself dressed up warm so I can head for the hills). This weekend! I will do it.

A New Year, A New Word, A New Resoultion
Happy 2010
Last year I was introdued to the concept of "A Word" for the new year (here's the link if you have not yet read all about it ) After thinking about what word I would like to use for the new year, I narrowed down my ever growing list to a single word that I think has a powerful meaning in an assorted sort of way. This year my word is Possibities.
Here is the deffintion
pos·si·bil·i·ty (ps-bl-t)
n. pl. pos·si·bil·i·ties
1. The fact or state of being possible.
2. Something that is possible.
3. possibilities Potentiality for favorable or interesting results
I think the word really has possiblity don't you (har har, just couldn't help myself) I remember when growing up the year 2010 seemed like something so very far away and the the world around us would be so very different--we'd all be driving around in floating cars while wearing silver suites and eating our meals via a pill. It all seemed far fetched and to be honest impossible. It also seemed as though the year was so impossibly far in the future that it would never ever get here.
Well here it is and I think that if you would have told me when I was ten that I would be listening to music on small little device that did not have a record or a tape I would not believe you, and the idea of having a home theater was about as fancyful as having a camera right in your phone. So really anything is possible.
As with last year, I am going to apply my word to every aspect of my life--there are many possiblities that can happen were my health is concerned. I have signed up for my very first half-marathon (actually twice, oops) and I know that the possiblities that will come with getting ready for that and the all the possible feeling I will have after crossing the finish line will be endless I am sure.
I think of all the possiblities that will be happening with my children and loving husband. I could write a book about all that could happen.
The sky is not the limit, for I would like to go above and beyond all that I can and cannot see. All the beautiful possiblities that lay ahead are just waiting for me to achieve.
Now that I have my word out there for the world to see, I will let you all in on the secret of what my resoultion is this year. This year I am going to become a goddess. That is my goal and I resolve to hold myself to it.
While talking to the hubs about this desire, I found that not everyone thinks of goddesses in the same terms. He thought I wanted to be whorshiped by everyone--and well who doesn't enjoy that, but that is not at all what I mean, so I will explain.
I want to become better than I am today. I want to have my house in order, my health a priority, be good at the things that I do, and be calm and patient when things do not work as I had planned. I want to love more freely (not like that, geesh) what I mean by that is I want the people that mean the world to me to know it and feel it, not just assume or think it may be possible that they are special to me. I want to find the beauty that I often time have a hard time seeing in myself. I want to embody what my soul has been for years. I think there is a lot of possiblities to this resoultion, don't you?

Year in review
So 2009 is a thing of the past and it was my intention to do a year in review before the end of the year and start fresh with a new post on the very first day of the year. Five days in and here I am posting my review. The simple fact is that it is very very very cold where we keep our computer and my little fingers can only type for so long before falling off--so I will attempt to make this review rather short in hopes to save my limbs.
I went back are read my New Years blog from last here (here's the link incase you would like to read it yourself )
So in reading what I wrote, I will say that I did fairly well last year--some improvements could be made so I think I will continue to plug away at my old goals as well as attempt a new set of goals (you'll have to read about that later).
My resulution to not lose weight, but instead gain health may have just been sussessful--for over the corse of the year, I have lost about 13 pounds. And I will say that I am very much pleased with that. I will continue to not try to lose, but remain in a gaining state of mind (you have to do what works right?
I think I really need to work on celebrating the little things in life some more.
So here I go a wassailing again some more this year.
