Preparing for the Holidays

In exactly one week is Christmas...Can you believe it? I'm excited. Confession: I actually have all of  my shopping done over a week before Christmas!!!!! This has not happened in forever. I just need to wrap them. I can't wait for my family to see their presents...and just in case they read this I am not saying what I am giving them. Plus I think I got some pretty good Secret Santa presents for the person I was shopping for. Who ever has me is doing a great job.

So the plan to lose over 35 lbs by July is going to be a challenge. 1) It is the holidays and I do not want to gain weight I have already lost. 2) I need to try to find time to workout. 3) I just got Coldstone and Biggby giftcards. I can use them before the new year, but I still have them in my possession. 

I can do this though. I found a diet I am going to try and if it doesn't work, I'll return to the one I used this summer to lose 15 lbs. 

We have decorated for the holidays...sort of. We didn't decorate like my house downstate, but we did do some decorating. The tree is up and decorated. As we don't know where our angel is...other than in the storage unit...we used one of my little angel decorations, tied it to the tree with fishing line, and put two little mice under it. It is adorable and fun. 

Finally, I got my grades for my first semester of grad school. I got a 3.75!!!!!! YAY!!!!! 3 As and 2 BAs!!!! 

The End for now...
