Boy, this four-day weekend has gone by fast! I was planning to log in and try to get some work done today, since my coworker may have to attend a funeral on Monday, which would put me in charge of the current training class for the day.
However, I forgot that Michael and I were scheduled to go to Dutch Wonderland with some friends this afternoon. It should be a lot of fun and hopefully the weather will be good. It is sunny right now and supposed to be in the high 30s/low 40s, but with snow later tonight. Last time we went with the weather forecast, we drove into a blizzard that started five hours early!
This was definitely the Christmas of the video game at our house. We have never purchased a game system before, but we took the plunge this year and got a Wii. Since my brother decided to buy the player for us, Santa brought the extra remotes and stuff we needed to play together as a family plus an extra game to play. Michael pretty much wants to play Mario Kart all day long, but hasn’t protested too much when we told him to take a break. 
I used the money my in-laws gave me for my birthday to get a Wii Fit Plus, so we spent some time last night getting that set up for the three of us. Michael’s real age was 15, so he was very excited. Bob & I weren’t as excited to test a few years older than we actually are, but I am just surprised it didn’t tell me I was ready for retirement! I set a goal, so we’ll see what happens. I haven’t seriously tried to lose weight since the year before I got pregnant because I just assumed I would fail, which I know isn’t the right attitude but is how I feel.
I just know that I need to get myself in better shape before my health is seriously jeopardized. With the last 20 pounds I put on, my reflux has gotten worse and I have developed some mild sleep apnea, both of which interfere with my sleep.
