Thanksgiving was absolutely amazing this year! We kept it simple (sort of, too much food) with just 6 of us total, had wonderful food, and played Yahtzee until 2 in the morning!! Definitely fun & full of laughs!
Food made me gain 3 pounds in one day, and put me back over 250 (251.4 to be exact)! Yikes!! But, it was worth it! You have to enjoy the holidays with all the yummy foods! Otherwise, it would just be another dinner with family...
As of this morning, I am down to 246.6, which makes my total lost so far 18.4 pounds (and 4.8 gone since the morning after Thanksgiving). Not exactly where I wanted to be at this time of the year (and with my goal of another 15 gone by the end of December), but every pound gone is still a step in the right direction!
I'm thinking about getting up and walking in the mornings before I have to get ready for work. I don't go in until 9, so if I get up about 6, that would give me a good hour to hour & half to get some walking in. It is December, and it's pretty darn cold in the mornings here with the sun peaking over the Sandia Mountains pushing all the cold air right down on us! (It is colder between 6-8 AM than it is about 3-4 AM!!) Ugh, it's only gonna get colder!! I have jackets, scarves, gloves, ear warmers...I can do this! :-) (Too bad I don't know anyone out here that would go with me, though.)
December means Christmas. Christmas is probably my favorite holiday, partly because of all the gorgeous decorations & lights, but mostly because of the reason we celebrate! My faith has been with me for many years and has brought me through more hard times than I ever thought possible. We should celebrate Christ and all He has done for us & bless us with every day, not just one day a year! Thank you, Lord, for my life & every piece of my life's puzzle!
