Morning all, finally made it to going-home day and Iβve been awake excited since about 4am! Pre surgery Iβd have had a workout but just had to lie in bed reading the news on my phone. Ah well! Anyway, just spoke to the kids on the phone and they are similarly excited. If the consultant says there is any problem (and I canβt see any reason why she would) I think I will go home anyway and then come back. I need to see my babies!!
Hope you all have a good day. Iβm going to try and get through my list and remember to prioritise my health, something that can be hard when youβre travelling, right? Why is it so easy to snack on junk when you have a long distance trip? Is it boredom or habit from being subdued by food my your parents when youβre a whining child?! π

So impressed by how much so many here get accomplished day after day.
Merry merry to everyone.

Thursday 19 December
12 hours of travelling and some dubious food choices. Iβm pretty sure thatβs not going to result in any weight loss!3 -
Just checking in quickly... to wish everyone on here a very happy holiday season!! I am so thankful for all of you! We are leaving tomorrow to visit our son in Michigan.. it will be a quick trip though, as we are coming back home for Christmas day. Our daughter is coming with us, and 2 days is the maximum for her, but hoping she does not change in mind on going. she is already having high anxiety just thinking of the short trip. But .. it will be nice.
I have been totally off any diet the past few days ... a friend at the gym gave us a whole bunch of homemade cookies, one of our distributors sent us chocolate covered almonds! But .. that is what the holidays are for, and I am just not going to worry about it. Just try and not gain too much, and get back on track.
anyhow... just wanted to wish you all a very happy holiday season! love you all!

Finals. Finals finals finals. I had 11 essays turned in yesterday, and should have 22 turned in today. Theoretically school ends at noon but that's when the essays will be turned in. So guess who's going to get to choose between not getting a half-day and carrying work home over break!
Running still sucks, but it sucks a little less as I'm getting back into running regularly.5 -

Today is somewhat sedentary: annual workplace Christmas party at lunchtime and attending a Holiday Pops Christmas concert this evening. I am going to relax, and just enjoy the season!
While off work, I plan to log food (most days) and walk dog on days we're home. Road conditions permitting of course... temps are supposed to rise above freezing, snow & ice will melt and maybe not refreeze overnight. Maybe longer 3-4 mile walks will happen = happy dog & happy me. I may not log into JFT during that time. Want to wish all my JFTers a very merry Christmas! Wishing safe travels for all those visiting others.2 -
Friday December 20
No goals again! Too much to do and not enough time, missed my lunch, have not logged and am probably in the red! I will try to catch up with logging tomorrow.
Wishing you all peace and contentment in amongst the more frenzied Christmas/holiday preparations. I hope you are able to enjoy time with your loved ones and take solace in fond memories of those you have lost.4 -
