holiday anxieties.... again

Thanksgiving has come and gone and, once again, my mood is down.

I have trouble with these holidays and they seem to bring me down.

I am confused.

Little things...

Good morning... or afternoon, depending on where you are when you read this.

I am just stopping by to wish everyone a happy holiday season, which has suddenly happened upon us!

Just wanted to give you an insight as to how my world is going...

I have started logging my food, amping up my exercise and am down about 20#. Woo hoo!! Thrilled silly, but it is starting to catch up with me and my body is suddenly feeling really exhausted. I guess I really need to slow down and make sure I'm taking care of myself.

I have completed another course in school and am (hopefully) looking at only maybe 10 more months before I hit my degree!

My new job is awesome. I love it... the people are great... and I am glad I went through the strife of change... which I am totally against! From those I used to work with, I have found the job that so many wish they could be experiencing.

Other than that, we have snow for Christmas... it waited until late Wednesday night... and now we are good to go... and, in my eyes, it can go.... the day after Christmas! Bah Humbug!

My son is doing well in school... we are halfway through this year and no issue with bullying or other problems... this is good.

And the daily stuff keeps chugging.

Hope each of you are well and ready to celebrate the holidays.

Wishing everyone a safe and joyous holiday season, if I don't get back here before then.

Enjoy!!!!

Thanksgiving Day... Another day

Wishing everyone a happy thanksgiving!

Got up this morning and was up 0.2#

Not happy, but guess I will live.

Got up and went to the gym. Worked out and it felt good. I am truly not sure who I am or what I feel, but it will all get clearer, I'm sure.

I will need to watch my intake tonight and not overdo it. Maybe a day of eating a little more won't kill me. In my mind, yes, but in reality, probably not!

weight loss and being accountable

At work, we have a voluntary program to keep us, and our weight, accountable over the holidays. I know I need to focus and pay attention, so I signed up... What the hell? Why not? If I can do this and hold myself accountable, maybe I can make it thru the holidays. I already know what I need to do. If I do what I'm supposed to, my entrance fee is returned. I think I can... I think I can.... I have to... I have to.... I must.... I must....

Wishing Everyone a Happy Holiday Weekend

Well, it's officially Christmas Eve Day. I am all off wack, as I didn't have to work yesterday... instead, I went to do my Christmas shopping. I am one who hates to shop, so I wait as long as I possibly can before forging ahead. Tonight is family night - we celebrate with my aunts and uncles, cousins, and brothers. I an looking forward to it, but not to all the food that will be there. I have to keep from grazing. And then tomorrow is church and then early dinner with my brother and his family. I cannot wait until the holidays are over. I am not truly a grinch, but it has gotten so commercial and so much money is spent, what happened to tradition of spending quality family time?

The scents of the season... {what smells remind me of the Holidays}

The scents of the season...

* I LOVE the smell of bayberry - always have, always will... (I grew up with that candle scent in our house.)

* The smell of pine - when I was little, we always had a real tree.

Not many scents, but these two are the most prominent in my mind.

The Decorations of Christmas

Last night I got home and my son had put up the Christmas tree. Okay, so that's not too bad. It's a small tree and very basic with decorations. I can live with it. Lights and a few ornaments. Nothing gaudy and obnoxious.

And then I came in to work this morning, where all this "scrooge" started... yesterday, the decorations were hung. You never really know how much you hate dislike garland, until it is EVERYWHERE!!!! Okay, small decorations are good. But when you come around EVERY corner and there is garland (of EVERY color) and then ornament balls....ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

Bah - Buggin - Hum!!!! (from Olive, the Other Reindeer)

Holidays

Ok, I am not totally against the holidays, but it is Dec 1st. A couple women at work hung any decorations they had. Ok... overload! Can't do it. Too many decorations. I wanted to tear them down. Too soon, too many. Like I said, I don't mind the holiday, but too many decorations (especially on Dec 1st) is too many. I then came home and had to help decorate the tree. Aarrgghh!!!!!

Is this how Scrooge was born????
