Re: Friday, December 22

Well, I have so much to do. Since school let out yesterday for the holidays I also have 3 kids to go with me. So there isn't much I am actually gonna be able to do. I might have to go shop late tonite after they are sleeping. Oops..nope Hubby works late tonite. I'll figure out something. Trafic is so bad here. I mean it takes close to 20 minutes to go 5 minutes away. Everybody is rushing and there are some really rude people out there. Well, I need to go clean house. Glad for a four day weekend but I have so much to do I'll be more tired when Tuesday comes and back to work.
Catch yall later.

Good morning STACers!

Another 1/2lb down since Wednesday, putting me at 214. Not bad considering last weekend was TOM, AND I had a glass of wine last night! Yum yum though...

Well bf and I made Christmas ornaments last night--the ones you make with cinnamon and applesauce? They smell SO wonderful! We're putting more up on our tree, and giving some away in "goody baskets." I also made some of those holiday wreaths...you know you make them with marshmallows and corn flakes (well I used special K) and red hots? No temptations for me--that's why I made them. I chose Christmas goodies to make that won't tempt me! Tomorrow I'm making chocolate covered cherries and gingerbread men...and french bread. Looks like I'll be in the kitchen all day!

Today I have major cleaning and laundry to do--we'll see if I actually get it done! I'm also going to the gym to do a leg workout and some elliptical miles.

Have a great day guys...

Teh wreaths are awesome!! I make them with rice krispies and form them. Last night we made candy cane cookies and didnt even think to lick or eat anything. WOO! Ate burgers again, that was yummy! Signed some papers and WILL BE MOVING BY THE END OF JANUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! okie that was fun lol. Great day 3 start...Im stoked. I have most of my shopping done, and just have to get something for poppy and a poinsettia for my aunt who is having Christmas at her house. I do have to make bens to take along, so cant do that till hubby is around so he can taste them....LOTS of brown sugar, ketchup....all the stuff thats not good for me. Anyway, Im down again today and Im thrilled. Im so happy with eating this way. Well off to drink my water and clean the house....soon I will be packing!!

Re: Friday, December 22

I am finished! I was off work today, so I bought 3 final gifts and the rest of Christmas dinner stuff. Tonight I'll be wrapping gifts, tomorrow a trip to the cemetary to visit my mom and my brother, church on Sunday (or maybe Saturday night), and then CHRISTMAS!

Then, after a day for recuperating from Christmas, I have to start preparing for our annual New Year's camping trip. Whew.....

I strayed a bit off plan yesterday, paid a pound for it, but back on plan today. I am way behind on my water though.

So..... here I go to the kitchen for a late lunch and a whole lot of water!

This is yesterday's, but I'll say Merry Christmas here since it's full of fun crafts and package wrapping! I loved reading all of this.

Rachel, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Nichole, My husband called me from insided the Walmart store yesterday just to ask me what he was doing there 3 days before Christmas. He mentioned rude people too. LOL Have a great Christmas!

Julie, your ornaments sournd great. I have just heard of the apple sauce and cinnomin ones this year. Since I was born with glue and scissors in my hands, I don't know I didn't know about this one sooner. I can't wait to try it. And we had a neighbor who made my husband and I one of those Corn Flake wreaths every year. My mouth was the greenest! That's great you didn't have temptations. Merry Christmas Julie!

Schellie, Sounds like you are ready for Christmas too. And getting to move next month! Congrats on being down too! Merry Christmas!

Tammy, Have fun on your camping trip. SWounds like your'e ready for Christmas. I finally am too. I received one card yesterday from someone I didn't mail one to, so other than that, I'm ready as far as I can tell; something always comes up to do though. LOL I'm glad you jumped right back on to Atkins plan yesterday. Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
