    My weigh-in for today shows back up 2 lbs. Guess it will be going up and down all through the holidays. Hope your weigh-in is better.

    Went and did the Reindeer Run today. Afterwards went to a Christmas bazaar type event held by a 4-H club. It was fun. Not going to the Christmas parade this evening since my husband isn't feeling too good with a headache.

    Were you feeling well enough to help out serving pancakes today? I hope so. It sounds like a lot of fun. Hope you have fun at your horse Christmas Brunch party on Sunday.

    I did feel good enough to work at the pancake breakfast. We had a really good turn-out and it was lots of fun. I did use the heating pad when I got home because my back was getting stiff. Tomorrow should be fun too. I need to decorate in the house next week.

    I stayed away from the scale

    Hope hubby feels better....

    Had a really nice time at a Christmas party, then we went for a drive around the countryside. Didn't do much else. Sam's on vacation for 11 days. We're going to take a couple of day trips, but we have some stuff to get done here before it gets real cold.

    What a frosty and foggy morning we had today. However, turned out to be nicer later.

    Have all my Christmas shopping almost done. Have one more present to get. A little bit easier this year because we agreed to all spend only $5-$10 on gifts. Yeah! Now shopping is more fun.

    How was your horse club brunch?

    Have a Happy Tuesday!

    Meals
    oatmeal with blueberries

    We had a very nice couple of days away. Selling lots of hay with the snow and cold weather headed our way. Got all my Christmas shopping done and tomorrow I'll probably finish up decorating in the house. I think I will bake some chocolate chip cookies too.

    My healthy eating has gone out the window. I'll get back on track after the holidays.

    Hope all is well with you. Have a great weekend!
  • Exercise
    2 hour walk

    Meals

    Glad you had some nice time together with Sam! My eating has been bad too. I agree, we will get back on track with the New Year. Then we will have to stick to it full force. Had planned on a walk today, but didn't go due to the weather. Plus got a sore throat. I think I got that from playing outside yesterday with my dog, or perhaps at the stores from all the people coughing around me. Anyway, doing the best I can to control it so it doesn't get the best of me. Have a nice Sunday!

    We got about 5 inches of snow last night. It was so pretty when the sun came up this morning. The roads were a little slick but I still went to church. It's only about 5 minutes from my house. Then we had lots of people come for hay, so we had a good day.

    Hope you are feeling better!

    Glad you had a nice Sunday. We only got about 3 inches of snow at our house. Went to work today, but just got worse through the day with a headache and sinus congestion. Plan on taking off tomorrow so I can recover and not spread germs. Hope you have a nice Tuesday.

    Hope you are feeling better! No fun being sick around the holidays.

    I am being so bad! I made candy in my crockpot. It's very good

    Going to be very cold and windy here tomorrow. I think I'll go and finish up my Christmas shopping. I just have a couple of little things to pick up.

    Getting my tree on Thursday. I love the smell of pine in the house. Then on Saturday I'm making a 90th birthday dinner for my mother-in-law.

    Have an awesome Wednesday!
  • Stayed at home today. Sick all day. Now I spread it to my husband too. I am so sorry for that, but tried my best to prevent it. The sickness is working its way through my body. Guess I need a few more days to recover.

    Sounds like your having fun making candy, and then getting a tree on Thursday. How festive. How exciting too to be planning a birthday dinner for your Mother-in-law. Have fun! Take care and stay well.

    Meals

    cookies

    It was cold this morning! The wind was howling and the temperature was 12. I am so lucky to have heated water buckets! The horses were frisky. They love this weather!

    Went and did the last of my shopping. We're supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow overnight.

    Do you have colds or sinus problems? I guess it must be colds as you passed it to Mark. Whatever it is, hope you both are feeling better soon.
  • I went to work yesterday, but left 2 hours early. Today I am off sick. Tomorrow I am off with regular leave, so I don't have to go back to work until Monday. Just going to take it easy. I have a really bad cold with nasal congestion and coughing. My husband is already feeling better today. Wish I would feel better too. Won't be walking this weekend. Need to get well so I will be healthy when Christmas comes and family is all around.

    Heated water buckets sounds terrific! 12 degrees is terribly cold. Did you get snow last night? We didn't get any more snow last night.

    Hope you have a wonderful Thursday!
  • Hope you're feeling better!

    I got the nicest surprise in the mail. I couldn't wait till Christmas to open it. Thanks so much

    It was cold this morning at 7 degrees. I looked like the Pillsbury Doughboy with all my layers. I wore my flannel lined jeans and I was toasty warm. I also wear a face mask. I'm glad no one sees me

    We had a bit of snow and the roads got real slippery. I still had people come for hay. One lady drove 3 hours to get here. I'm sure she could find some closer to where she lives!

    Have a good Saturday!
