So, the month is half over ... do you know where your tree is?

The month is slipping away, isn't it. Already the middle of January and my Christmas tree is still up, gifts received are still in boxes under the tree and thank you cards are still waiting for me to write them up. Why is it that I never feel like doing anything about it until I'm either in bed or at work? 'Tis a puzzlement.

Oh, something interesting I read yesterday... there was a study done somewhere about weight loss and exercise. Did you know that most men can lose weight just by exercising, but women can't? Most women have to cut their caloric intake plus exercise to lose weight. On top of all that, when women are stressed their bodies are programmed to retain fat around the mid section and butt. All this focus on weight and why I'm having such a hard time with it is just adding to the stress, so I wonder how to get out of this trap... ARGH!!! It's not fair I tell you, just not fair!
