I am so bah humbug that it isn’t even funny. The thing is, we have had one extra expense after another come up, so we have been putting off buying Christmas presents. Well, here it is, almost Christmas and WHAM, yet another expense. This sucks. Guess I’ll redo the budget again tonight. This soooo makes me wish I worked full time. 3 kids = a lot of money for presents. :( Any ideas of things we could make/give that are inexpensive? We thought about making little coupons good for alone time… like 1 free one on one BBall game at the time of your choice (not good within 30 before/after dinner and or bedtime!) or something cutsy like that. I dunno. Maybe I’ll do some reserach after I figure the budget damage.

Diet is great. I am uber motivated to stay on track, mostly because I am sad that I can’t do the things I want to do for Christmas. Apparently I am an emotional non-eater, too. Who knew! Yesterday’s calories were right at 1500 and I’m on track for about the same today.

Running wise? BLAH! I can’t remember the last time I ran. I did hop on the elliptical yesterday, but there was a line so the 20 min rule was enforced (at least I felt like I should be honest) so I only squeezed out 23 minutes total. Ugh.

Ick. Boo! Blah. Okay, enough feeling sorry for myself and my situation. SO many people have it worse than us, and we are ultimately happy and healthy. Really, things are great for me. I am just an uber baby!!
