A little December frustration

It wouldn't be Christmas without something quashing holiday spirit. It's my own fault but I'll never admit to that. I haven't been to the gym all week. Monday I had stampers at my house, Tuesday was the snow day and I counted shoveling as my exercise, 8th grade music concert on Wednesday and tonight is a Christmas party for stamping friends. There's always Friday. I'm not counting on Saturday since we're getting more winter weather.

So it's no surprise the scale has been stagnant too. I was hoping the new Simple Start that WW rolled out would help. I'm not sure I've wrapped my brain around it so far. The premise is eat whole foods (not processed) and stop when you are full. Hmmm? If I did that already, I wouldn't look like this. I'm going to give it a couple weeks.

The majority of my holiday shopping will happen Wednesday. I have a dentist appointment and I'm taking a sick day. It is perfect timing. Not that I have a lot of holiday shopping to do. Gift cards mainly, but that still takes time since we're not a family of chain restaurants lovers. Since I'm avoiding cookie temptations, I'm not baking this year. I'm making chocolate bark with cranberries, pretzels and pecans. I'll also make a double batch of seasoned pretzels. That is my plan for Saturday. Somewhere between Saturday and Wednesday, I'll be less frustrated and search for holiday joy. It's good to have a plan.
