@SarahAnaruk - My husband's family likes to pick a different country and make traditional dishes from there every year. This year it's Germany. So our Christmas dinner will be beef roast, kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes), sausage, rolls, and red cabbage/apple/sausage stuffing. With stollen (fruit pastry), jam stuffed…

@SarahAnaruk - We flew part way, then drove the rest of the way. Smooth flight, clear roads. It was perfect for traveling.

I'm headed to Idaho to visit family for the holidays!

@anneshields001 thanks so much for doing that! I really appreciate it!

I'm not sure if I'll be able to write up the fan fic in time anymore. My schedule has been a lot crazier than expected. Could someone possibly take it off my hands?

I'm feeling proud of myself. I lost 2.4 lbs this week, got all my required assignments done, nailed my unbreakable vow, and have stayed within my calories every day. I even went to my monthly bunco party tonight and usually go crazy with the party food, but I refrained! Just need to get through the Yule Ball challenge and…

Grabbed my two :)

I'm almost done with Christmas shopping. Just need to get a few more things for my husband and daughter, but everyone else in our extended family is finished. Saw a small loss, which pleased me considering I'm on that time of the month and ate all the things on Thanksgiving. But, I agree, this was a terrible week to start…

@bdbchick Can you post the link for the points spreadsheet please?

@SarahAnaruk - Twinsies! I wish I had a more interesting and flashy talent, but it's what I have. And, it makes Black Friday that much more fun hunting down all the deals. Started my shopping today! (BTW, Knott's Berry Farm is an amusement park, but has amazing boysenberry products - so I've heard.) I had a great first…

@starjam25 We go to Southern California every year or so. Last month we went on a huge trip where we went to Huntington Beach and watched a dog surfing competition, then hit up Disneyland, Universal Studios, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, and Legoland. But, I've never been to Knott's Berry Farm. What age range is best for…

I've completed all the tasks for the week, required and optional. Just need to focus on my unbreakable vow and arithmancy. I hope I have a good weigh-in tomorrow. Going for full points!

I'm usually a traditionalist and don't put my tree up until after Thanksgiving, but my 5-year-old insisted we put our little tree up early this year. Equipped with golden snitches, of course.

Off to a strong start. Walked two miles in Christmas colors, answered DADA correctly, drank 8 cups of water, and stayed under my calories today. Hopefully I'll be able to keep the momentum up!

The whole family is sick so we're just taking it easy this weekend.

Thanks for the responses! I'll go ahead and try them out. :)

Yoga with Adriene is my go-to yoga channel on YouTube. She has plenty of beginner workouts. Definitely check her out! :)

I do not consume caffeine (unless you count chocolate, haha). I feel like it does more harm for my body than good. Drinking plenty of water and doing a quick morning workout is enough to give me the energy I need throughout the day! :)

I do enjoy cauliflower "tots". Just as satisfying as tators! http://gimmedelicious.com/2014/07/24/skinny-baked-cauliflower-tots/

I love this recipe: http://www.skinnymom.com/skinny-slow-cooker-chicken-pot-pie/ It's so easy, yummy, and filling!

Hi everyone! I have a 15-month-old girl. I am now only 2 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I still have 50 lbs to lose after that. Feel free to add me! :)

I love Bikini Body Mommy! I have completed 1.0 and am 30 days into the second challenge. :)

I didn't bother tracking calories yesterday. I did do 50 minutes of cardio in the morning, had a light breakfast, didn't eat lunch, and then let myself enjoy the dinner. I actually ate less than I usually do on Thanksgiving, which was kind of a nice change. I automatically stop eating now when I don't feel hungry anymore.…
