I know, I know – we’ve still got New Year’s to go. But there is so much food around here and everywhere I go – and I can’t resist all the great holiday treats. Well, obviously I do resist most of them, but it’s tough. And there’s even less time for exercise this week, too. So, with my sluggish metabolism, I’ve got to be really careful. New Year’s won’t be that difficult in terms of food. We’re going to the movies with another couple (Casino Royale!) and then out to dinner for fish – something elegant and low cal, so I’m safe there.

The week has been great in other respects. My husband had the time off from work so he was around a lot, and all my kids are home, so that’s been fun. We had a party on Wednesday night so we got to connect with a lot of friends that we only see once a year. I’ve been dabbling at writing – spending a lot of time mentally processing my next book instead of writing it, but when I start putting words on the pages, I’m hoping it’ll flow easily.

What have been your toughest challenges this week? And what’s your most important resolution for 2007?
