Still here, still clinging on. I wanted to thank you all for your support this past year and to wish you a happy Christmas.
Off to say Mass in about an hour, then trying to go and collect ancient Mother. It's only about an hour away on a normal day but I just couldn't get to her yesterday, with the fog and the ice, so attempt #2 today.
We're having The Christmas Meal on Sunday, when my brother and his family get here, so Ma and I are having a very healthy smoked salmon salad for lunch today. mmmmmmmmmm.
Rosinante - Merry Christmas! Hope you can get to your mother without too much trouble today. Christmas salmon - I love it. My gift to myself today is to stay on my plan and not overeat.
Merry Christmas, Alice! I also hope you have a safe trip to pick up your mom. I have had a couple of days of undisciplined eating, so today is the day I will reign things in. I will still have a nice dinner and possibly a cookie, but I'm done with the potato chips, the peanut brittle, the salty, flavored popcorn. DONE.
Your salmon actually sounds very healthy. Maybe I'll stop by!
Merry Christmas! Gaudete, Christus est natus ex Maria virgine! I hope you have a wonderful day with your mum and that the Christmas season is filled with blessings for you.
Merry HO HO HO! I'm happy to say another successful christmas has been had, and I'm so sleepy and feel great! I 'saved myself' for weeks, no cookies or candies, i kept my eye on the prize -- my mom's turkey dinner with all the fixins -- and lemme tell you that plate was AMAZING!!!!! and it was ONE plate, so I lay my head down with a clean conscience tonight Merry Christmas to all and to all a gooooood night!
