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!3 -

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.2 -

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.2 -
