Thank you, thank you, thank you GOD! I was good yesterday! I am also so grateful and humbled that I have lost weight on that 3 day binge. I will not question why however I am very humbled by the fact that I fell down, fell hard, and realize that this will be a lifelong battle no matter where I am on this journey. It will not end when I reach that magic number. I will always have issues with food and weight gain unless I choose to keep it in check. I also have to recognize what I tell everyone else when they fell. I am human, I am not perfect, I will stumble. It is how I pick myself up and handle it that matters far more than the stumble itself. EWWW BLECH That is even too deep for me this early in the morn.
It is time! I am dragging out all of the decorations today! WOOT!!!!!!! Christmas snowmen here, stuffed Santa bears there, stocking hung up, etc….. Having kids I love decorating as tacky as can be. The more color and variety the BETTER!!!! That is part of my good memories as a child. Bubble lights on the tree, huge red velvet stockings on the fireplace, ceramic snowmen and Santa’s everywhere etc….. Now my dream is to decorate all Victorian for Christmas. I can do that when the kids are older. After church tomorrow we get the TREE!!! WOOOOHOOOOO! I am sooooo in the Christmas spirit!!!
Well enough of that. I have to get my hind end on the Elli and some weights and workout. Maybe if it is clear enough later we can take a family walk. Sort though it will only be 43*F Brrrr! Warm enough with layers though! LOL
Toodles!
Have a blast decorating, we got ours done yesterday. And good for you for keeping your kids in mind when you decorate, it will generate some great memories for them. I remember that as a child my mom wouldn’t tell us when she was going to set up the tree and decorations, she’d just do it some night after we went to bed. Even though I know it was b/c it was easier for her to do it when we weren’t around, it was so magical to wake up one day and the ENTIRE house was a winter wonderland. If I had enough energy I would do that for my kids, too, but I’m usually too pooped to stay up more than an hour or so after they go to bed
Enjoy that walk!
woohoo! the 180’s!!!
How’s the weather? I’m planning on moving there soon myself
My kids are almost all grown now but they still insist on our Christmas tradition of putting up the tree and decorating it with ornaments together - with Christmas music in the background and the lights down low, and hot cups of cocoa for them, coffee for Mom and Dad.
You’re right, it’s all about the memories! Oh, and the wonderland you’re creating is NOT tacky!!!!
