Princess: We have nursing seminars like this, where you walk around different stations and become re-educated in different procedures. They always have different finger foods at each one-popcorn, candy, etc. I despise going to them.
better day tomorrow for you.
Rana: Sodium sticks to me like this too. It is evil too!

Those chocolates, no doubt, were associated with Christmas Cheer! Extra Cardio is in your future!
AFM: I'm procrastinating going to sleep today for some reason. I'm going to hate this decision about 2a.m. I know I haven't posted my cals in a couple of days. It is really nothing to brag about. I love the holidays and the food associated with them. I also love Merlot
(It doesn't have to be a holiday for this!
)
Tuesday's Menu
Pizza, Peppermint Sipping Chocolate, Abner's Chicken Tenders and Fries, Cottage Cheese, & Garden Salad w/Tuna
Total Cals: 1500
My parents came down "to help decorate"
We watched Jim Carey's version of A Christmas Carol!
The good thing was I ate 1 slice of pizza the size of a dinner roll--as a side, not as a meal.
The bad thing was I ate fries! It was only 1/2 order, but WHY? I hate fries! They were there. That is my only reasoning.
Wednesday's Menu
Started off great--ended NOT SO great!
Cottage Cheese, Pineapple, Zucchini Nut Bread, Pumpkin Spice Coffee, Chili 2 mom's, 1 Chicken Tender, 3/4 c So Delicious Chocolate, 16 oz Merlot!

I was doing ok until the Merlot, BUT…….
So, yesterday, it snowed in the South!! BIG shock to me. 2nd time in a week!
I LOVE snow!!!
I took my babs to my parents to gather fresh cedar to make Christmas Cedar Wreaths for the house. My mom and I went walking in the forest across the street from her house. I pushed a 1-wheeled wheel barrow uphill in the snow about 1/2 mile and back. Not so easy when the snow is sticky and slush is sticking to the wheel, clogging it.
My mom kept kicking the accumulated snow off the front so I could push it. I'm sure I was a sight! We had the BEST time. It was like a scene from a movie. I had my iPhone playing Christmas music!
So, I was there all day with my babs. River LOVES snow! Jax--the 15 yr old, uhm not so much!
When I returned home, I made 2 wreaths and while I was making them, I HAD to have Merlot. It's like eating oreos while drinking milk. it's just difficult to do one without the other! Same for me with holiday decorating. If it's snowy, cold, Christmas music strumming in the background, I'd like to have Merlot, please--the whole bottle if you can spare it.
I didn't run last night. I thought the 3 hour walk was sufficient. I also have to say, I have NOT felt like doing any exercise this week. I hate that! I have only done HIIT once this week--which is sad. I did get my Ultimate Press Dip Station in the mail yesterday, but b/c of the wreaths, it is still in the box!
I find it too cold to get excited about exercise. I also realize this is why I pack on a couple of pounds {{or ten}} every winter!
