Smaller, darker, stronger...

Sorry I haven't been around lately. Just wanted to let you all know that I AM alive and well. :)

I've taken on some new roles in my life and I didn't realize how much time these volunteer positions would be taking from me. But things are slowly starting to settle. So all good. For now.

Anyhew, getting back to my title: smaller, darker, stronger.
Um, those words are supposed to describe... ME.

Smaller:
I'm pretty thin now. (Part diet, part stomach flu) So much thinner that when my mom saw me recently she freaked and told me I need to gain weight and that she's afraid I have an eating disorder.

Really, mom?


Darker:
I went a little darker blonde in my hair color for winter.
I LOVE it!


Stronger:
Guess what?!
I started P90X3 !! And it's GREAT! I love that each day is only a 30 minute workout yet still tough enough that I feel stronger and am getting toned. I feel awesome too. Although that first week I was sore, sore, sore.
My only complaint: yoga day.
I don't like yoga, but even I feel you need longer than 30 minutes. Other than that, I highly recommend. :)

Still working on edits right now. I'm having a very tough time with them. I think because I'm tightly connected to these characters and hesitant to change them. *sigh*
 My editor isn't going to be happy with me...

That's it for me.
We will be hosting a Super Bowl party this Sunday. Hubby is making a chicken gumbo and I will be making Italian sloppy Joes (new recipe). I never eat at my own parties, so I'll probably just gorge on the veggie platter and drink my grapefruit cocktail.

How about you? Any plans for the Super Bowl?
What's your favorite Super Bowl food? I usually looooooove chili. Especially this vegetarian chili recipe my hubby makes, but he's making gumbo instead this year. Boo-hiss!!
