    Are you ready for the holidays?

    I am ...but can't wait for them to be over .... I am hosting this year but everyone is bringing something since I can't stand in the kitchen long to cook ... I am making the prime rib roast with my daughter's help

    It's pretty windy in Windsor right now. Decent amount of snow. Got up at 6am to hit the gym and grab groceries before it got really bad. It was a good plan cause I wouldn't be going out the way it is now. I've gotta work today so I'll be sitting inside my house the rest of the day. They closed the 401 between Tilbury and London due to multiple accidents including a 12 car pile up.

    Stay safe everyone!

    Usually, I start in October but I procrastinated. I am short a couple of gifts and need some gift bags. Too late to use Amazon. Lol My daughter is hosting both Christmas Eve and Day which makes the food part easier.

    Happy Christmas Adam!

    I am ready with buying. However I have got lots of tidying and final touches to do. Wrap of course and hopefully finish baking today. Of course this weekend will be freezing,30 high and 17 low, and next weekend for New Years will be 72 and thunderstorms...

    It’s a cold one here today. It feels like -29C which is about -20 F. We are heading out to finish our Christmas shopping soon. I am looking forward to tonight. We are going to my daughters. We are going to exchange gifts tonight. My daughter makes lots of good food and her crab dip is amazing. I am planning on being mindful and not overeat. This week will be a challenge as my husband is off until January 3rd. We didn’t buy any junk food when grocery shopping so at least I don’t have to contend with that. I am going to start logging on Boxing Day. The pool is closed today and tomorrow so I will be back swimming that day also.

    I don’t know what is up with my steps. I layed on my bed for 2 hours in the morning and played on my iPad. After lunch, I had a long nap so I was expecting my steps to be below 3,000. My goal is to get my steps back up to 4500 in the new year.

    Hard week with sugar.
    Really want to work on this over next few days as sugary food is my worst enemy.
    On good news our first granddaughter is finally coming out of hospital today after being born 9 days ago. It's been a massive stressful time hence why all the bingeing on sugar crap.

    Congrats on the new granddaughter and her getting to leave the hospital. I can imagine this would be very stressful for you and your family and her health is the best gift you can receive. Blessings.

    New me, goodbye fatfifties. Welcome slimmersixties! I'm 90lb down, thrown out my old clothes and my old name. I'm the lightest I've ever been as an adult.
    Having a couple of steady months then in February when I'm back travelling in the rv going to have a final big push to reach my goal weight (5 to 12lb away) before my 60th birthday

    I'm so happy for you and love the new name!

    Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have a safe celebration and you get what you really want. Remember to stand under some mistletoe.

    Check in:
    Steps - 14881
    Calories - at least 2650. Kept snacking all afternoon. I tried to write it all down.
    Exercise - walked for 2 hrs. Pace was somewhere over 3mph. Walked to best buy in one direction to get a couple phone cards, took one to daughter at work, over 2 miles in another direction, then walked 2 miles home.

    Nice weather! It feels like -16C here today. I don’t do baking but I am going to try some no knead bread next week.
