So Close!
Hey there,
Can you believe that it is Thursday already? WOW! Didn't we just say goodbye to Monday? I'm sure we did! Those lucky Aussies, they are saying hello to Friday!
Last night at WW, I was down another 1lb! Now I am just 4 lbs away to my final weight loss of 50 lbs. Yes, here I am, just THAT close, and THAT close to Christmas too. Interesting timing don't you think?
Our meeting topic was how to handle the holidays and all the food events and treats that go with it. Plus those well meaning (or perhaps not) relatives, friends, and co-workers, who tell you "just have this ONE thing, I won't tell anyone...." My gift to myself this year is good health. Plain and simple. Ok, not plain and simple exactly - more like festive wrapping paper and a big shiny bow!
I have sooo many favourite foods and they all seem fall under seasonal treats! So, ALL my top foods in the next 2 weeks. Oh boy! First Christmas without the stretchy pants too (note to Santa, you can have ALL the cookies this year!)
This holiday season will have more focus on the non-food goodness. I am a Christmas lights fan (FANATIC) , LOVE snowfalls, and Christmas music (also MUZAK!), and let's not get into the chat about holiday apparel just yet (soon Gentle Reader, soon!)
So just 28 sleeps and so much to do, so much to enjoy!!
Fear not Gentle Reader, we'll get through it all AND have fun doing it! This WILL be your best holiday season yet!
Enjoy your Thursday and catch you in the morning! Happy happy Thanksgiving to my lovely American pals! xox

I have to laugh as I plan to wear stretchy pants to Thanksgiving dinner this year. Well, laugh or cry, I'm not sure which. I also love Christmas music...all of it. And let's not forget Chanukah, which is even closer. I have WW on my mind.

Hi TW, but of course! Chanukah is on the list too - you will have to send me some recipes. I love ALL holidays equally!!
Enjoy the stretchy pants today AND please have a slice (tiny) of pie for me.
