So Eileen and getupnow, you ROCK! Your comments made me feel loads better. You know the craziest thing about all of this? My husband and I do pretty well financially and have little debt. Yes, he is in the military, so he doesn’t get paid much, but we also have no rent or utilities to worry about. I’m a well paid accountant. If this Christmas is hard for us, how hard is it for the people who make even less than us? Or the minimum wage workers? That makes me sad. 
We did donate extra food and toys this year, so maybe that will help…
I went over my calories by 100 yesterday! Grrrr It was a total accident. I spaced and forgot I ate that Kashi bar until this morning! Well, at least I think I ate it. I really can’t remember! ha. So yesterday was (most probably) right at 1600 calories. Workout? None. Know why? RAIN! It is torrential, nasty, puddling rain. I HATE it! But, we have BBall practice later tonight, which means the hubbs can watch the other boys AND the gym will be less crowded. No less than an hour of cardio will be accepted. I am so pumped! I thought the rain had stopped, but when I got up this morning and was getting ready for my run, I looked outside and WHAM. So, I am anxious to workout. I would have hopped on the treadmill, but for some reason that ALWAYS wakes the boys up in the morning, and boys awake at 5:45 = BAD NEWS.
In other news, my work birthday party (not lunch, just party… lunch will be later, I’m sure.) is this afternoon, and I have heard rumors of a german chocolate cake (my fave after cheesecake). Tomorrow is our department party, and the director sent out a menu for where we’d be going, but I haven’t looked yet. I need to check it out and get some calorie info.
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
