back on track

Here we are, mid-January, and I feel like we are finally getting back on track after the whirlwind and excitement of the holidays.  Sara experienced some post-Christmas blues last week, but seems to have rebounded.  We saw the sun today for the first time since returning from Florida, and I think it has given everyone a boost.

I didn't really make New Year's Resolutions per se, but I had wanted to put effort into getting back on track in a few different ways.  For one thing, I've finally picked up a good book again after going dry on the reading front for a couple of months.  I also decided to take advantage of our fantastic community center and have been working out during Sara's evening swimming lessons.  It feels great!  I haven't had a consistent workout routine since before Sara was born, so it's high time; I hope to be able to stick with it.  And after the free-for-all that was the holiday season, I'm finally paying attention again to what I put into my mouth at (and in between) meals.  I'm hoping that getting back on track with these little things will help me be a better me ... for me and for the family that has to deal with me.

I love the holidays and the break in routine ... but it also feels good to get back to our routine, back on track.  That goes for blogging, too ... I'll be back soon!
