Hoping to start a new obsession and some other stuff...

I am a die-hard Twilight fan. Die-hard. I love Edward and I love Bella and I love Alice and I love Emmett...you get the picture. Since finishing the series last Fall, I haven't been able to get into a books the way I got into Twilight, and I want to. I need some page-turning action and I want to get sucked in to a book the way I did with Twilight. So, I thought I'd try another series. With the new Harry Potter movie that's out and with all the talk about it, at the urging of one of my command-spouse-friends, I decided to give it a whirl. She, too, is a Twilight fan (she got a life-sized poster of Edward for Christmas and framed it and hung it in her teenage daughter's room. LOL) and she fell in love with the HP series. So I got the 2 books this weekend and have managed to make it to Ch. 5 of the 1st book. I like it so far! I just wish I had more time to read...I read at night when the kids are asleep, and can only read for an hour before my lids start to flutter; not because the books are boring, but because I'm sleepy! But I hope to get through the books rather quickly...I love to read!

I made it to the gym this morning and was happy I did. I notice that if I go to the gym on Monday, it sets the tone for the week...when I don't go, I'm more likely to skip the rest of the week too. :P I gotta get back on the gym wagon...need to get serious about the weightloss thing again. I am finding it so hard to stay on a consistent routine now that Noah is out of school for the summer, but no more excuses...I gotta do this! At the gym today, I did another 40 minute cardio session and burned 475 calories. I'm hoping to do this 3-4 more times this week, plus add some strength training too. Wish me luck!

Alrighty folks, bye bye for now...I'm hoping to blog again later! :)
