Update!
Current work out regimen: maintain 2x per week, trying to nudge to 3. (except Thanksgiving week, which was a whopping 1. better than 0!). Got down to 140lbs just prior to t-day but am back up 1 or 2, thanks to holidays etc. Running is pretty easy these days though - sure I'm not pushing it and probably running 2-2.5 miles isn't as effective as it used to be, but it's nice to not feel totally dead either.
Lots of random stuff going on.
Went to Seattle for Thanksgiving to see my Mom's side of the family and had a very quiet but relaxing time. Read 3 books, met new family members, played with my neice Riley who is now 3.5 and super cute/smart! Also saw lovely friends and spent the day vegging on the couch playing wii and then had sushi. Yay freinds!!!
Guberment finally coughed up all remaining tax $$$ they had been withholding. Plus a tiny bit of interest.
Doing ok on the budget - it feels kinda crazy this month because the number is very high! But all expenditures were planned (property taxes, christmas tree/ornaments (a one time purchase), car insurance, christmas gifts) so actually not doing so bad.
Work has been busy busy busy. So busy I am barely keeping my head above water, and yet I am behind because I work hard all day and don't have the energy to work after 7pm or so. Heck, It's already been a long day by then... and I've been fighting off various colds. Haven't gotten the flu yet, fingers crossed. I have been a little better about doing things with co-workers though and trying to get to know them a bit better. I am here for the next few months, might as well... and they are getting used to me as well.
Haven't done much new on the job or boy front. I'm thinking I will give myself permission to get through the end of the year an see what happens from there. That still means work right now, since I want to be ready to jump come January, but a little less stress about it right now, if ya knowhatImean.
Holiday Bootie is coming up! I have the beginnings of a fab costume coming together.
And, it's Christmas shopping time! I am mostly gift free, but I do get the little ones (under 14) and the old ones (over 75) actual gifts. Gotta go get that done though!
This week: work out Monday. Doc & Dentist Tues. Cookies Wed. IUD Thurs. Picture molding & Bootie Sat.
wOOt!!!
