Holidays suck.

We went away for a week in August. That was fun, but when I got back I was faced with a mountain of things to do, a slew of doctor appointments for the kids and a mishmash of childcare arrangements until school started.

School resumed....and we were promptly out again for Rosh Hashanah (with me having 50 people over for dinner over the 2 nights). It has been like this all month - I haven't had a chance to catch my breath, before another crisis or holiday hits. To top it off, my legal assistant - who wasn't supposed to go on mat leave until Oct. - doesn't show up for a few weeks.

Needless to say, some of my best diet/exercise/work plans are going by the wayside.

I did so a few things, though:

1. My sister gave me a pedometer, which is fun, and she's trying to train me.
2. I'm really trying not to go overboard these holidays, and to make reasonably healthy food.
3. I joined Fitday.com and find it useful....when it isn't a holiday and I can actually log things.
