Eating well has proven to be good. Down officially 2 pounds and this is my bloat week, so if I keep up the good work, hoping for a bigger loss next Monday!!
Spent Sunday making Chocolate Chips cookies, peanut brittle, Chex Mix Trash, and Chex Vanilla Chunks (oh sooooo good). Have lots of parties at the office and the boys schools this week. Wanted to get them all done ahead of time. Chex Mix is in airtight containers and the cookies in the freezer. Will lay them out tomorrow for Nathan to take to school for Thursday's party. While I had to sample a few, I did very well. Especially with the Chocolate Chip Cookies (my great-grandmother's recipe tweaked over the years).
I am not getting in the workouts like I want to, but with a sick 2 year old coughing through the night, I am just too tired to get up early in the morning. Wish at 2 am when up with Travis could figure out how to workout, but would rather just cuddle him :) He and I slept in the recliner this morning. The more upright he is, the better. However, with all the last minute running around shopping I fell like I have had a workout :)
Christmas is almost bought, except MIL. She's the hardest to buy for. I had hers originally bought, then found out my FIL was having a Bluetooth Stereo / MP3 system installed in her truck. Therefore the FM Radio Transmitter for her IPod really isn't necessary now :( She recently bought an IPod and when her and my FIL travel, he hates it because she doesn't talk to him because she has the earbuds in listening to the music. Thought the transmitter would help so they could listen to the IPod on their travel. Obviously he had the same idea, just on a grander scale than me :) So after running around trying to come up with something else for the person that buys whatever they need when they need it, I have settled on giving her a Gift Certificate to Amazon so she can buy books for her Kindle.
Attached is finally the pictures of my Christmas tree! This is just off my cell phone. I will post better pictures later.
