Good morning Shape Shifters! My scale died so I am not able to weigh in for a few days. With Black Friday all packages are arriving a lot slower than normal, so will see when I get my new scale. Monday was a bad day, yesterday was good. Happy Wednesday everyone

@DaffyGirl88 I am not surprised you prefer making smaller sized puzzles looking at the ones you have!! They all look really difficult to make, and those trees would get a big pass from me.
I am not into vintage puzzles, but I know some of them are worth a lot of money. I like happy puzzles with lots of colors and cute animals/birds and nature and I actually prefer illustrations over photographs. My mom sometimes borrows my puzzles and her partner often complains that he has to put together a "Laura puzzle" again! 5 -

@Pupowl Really? A shopping holiday in the US affects your shipping over there? Hopefully you at least got to take advantage of some lightning deals.4 -
@DaffyGirl88 It is not just a US thing anymore I am afraid. Almost all webshops here also have some sort of Black Friday sale going on. And tomorrow is a fairly big Dutch holiday as well so a lot of people ordering stuff.4

I tried running a little on Monday and my hip was sore on Tuesday, so it's not ready yet. I'm getting impatient, and to be honest, more than a little annoyed. But I still went to the gym yesterday and used the stair climber and I walked a bit on a incline on the treadmill. I'm just starting the day but so far my hip feels fine today.7 -

@LaurieWrobo Hope you feel better soon! Take it easy, working while sick doesn't sound good.3

This one is a killer!
My 1970s era puzzles
Some of my other favorites.
And while I typically prefer ones with photos I found this one captivating and had to get it. Picture is slightly blurry but it is very pretty in person, many of the details are metallic.
i like the simplicity of some of these vintage puzzles, like the oreos one but they do all look pretty hard! i can't imagine having a box of random pieces to dig thru. i pretty much get all my puzzles used and have had a missing piece or two a couple times, it's always such a bummer but when i look back i still very much enjoyed putting it all together. i feel like there's a life lesson in there somewhere!
@Pupowl my advent calendars are a bit boring tbh...it's the first time i've bought them, one was only $10 from amazon, but the eurographics i asked for as an early christmas gift was pricier. i think i'm enjoying my rittersport advent calendar the most! 🍫2 -
Please excuse me for my Wednesday weigh-in this week. Not home today or tomorrow, so no scale. Thanks.3
-
@indoorsy_ Oh yeah, 10 dollars isn't bad at all! Here they all cost over 35 euros. I can buy almost 3 full sized puzzles for that so I didn't think it was worth it. Also not sure if I would enjoy making a tiny puzzle. Seems like it would be done too fast and not very satisfying.1

@CasandraW I haven't started any of my Christmas shopping yet ! The only decorations I've put up is an advent calender for my youngest son.Its a material snowman that a friend gave me when my boys were little.I put Celebration sweets in it.I had the first 2 as my son was away but after I looked up the calories on MFP I won't be having any more 😧
I did do a pre Christmas deep clean of my lounge yesterday.I also managed to carry a small chest of drawers downstairs by myself.Probably not very sensible but I managed it without falling.So the space is ready for the tree.I don't have a car so I have to have a tree delivered.I like a real one.What are everybody's preference ?4 -

No outside walk due to being busy with appointments and didn't really try that hard to squeeze it in when I could have. I did go to the gym for a 30 min incline walk. It was a bit harder than I was expecting, but I finished it4 -

@izzyred9400 I have a real tree in my main living room and 2 artificial trees in my downstairs rec room. This is one extra tree from usual, my husband found it super cheap at an auction.3 -

Caught a cold 🤧 from somewhere, probably one of the grandsons who are walking petri dishes. 🤒 So I'll be spending the day sitting at my desk drinking hot tea 🍵instead of getting steps.

Hello Shape Shifters. No walk today, a lot of rain. Tomorrow is looking even worse. Instead I finished my puzzle. I loved this one. There is a winter event in the horse game which is making me super happy. There is snow everywhere and Christmas decorations and auroras in the sky. I am having a blast. I was looking around earlier on a toy website and discovered that the makers of Wingspin (a board game about birds) also made a version with dragons called Wyrmspan. It looks absolutely beautiful and I would love to have it, but I don't have any friends to play with so it would be a waste of money. Anyway, just finished dinner and going to get my steps done for the day and then play more of my horse game.
They released this new caribou based horse and he is so cute. I named him Twinkle. We also get to open a present under the tree every day.

I finally have a scale again. I had excused myself for this week, but I am only two days later than normal, so will just use the Friday weight. I had 4 bad food days the past week; this time of year is such a pain. The past 3 days have been back on track though, so let's keep going!5 -

Loss: 1.7 lbs
I'm so happy with this loss. I've been working hard, with both food and exercise and love seeing it show up on the scale. I feel like I'm reaching the point where the healthy habits are becoming more routine and easier to stick to without so much thought.
