A Stomach, Not a Waist Basket

This is just not cute

I’ve reached the point of holiday eating where I’m stuffed and completely not hungry. There has been sweets at work consistently for the past week and quite frankly, I’m at the point where I can’t even look at them without feeling disgusted.

I don’t think I”ve gained any additional weight, but at the same time I’m not about to step on a scale to take a look.

Kirk graduated (WHOO-HOO) and the best part is that he is moving in with me this week. I was living with him back when I started the whole journey. It was easier with him around, he goes to the gym every day so he can drag me along. Also, it was easier to cook for 2 people than it is for 1. With 2 people, you make meals and have enough leftovers for 1 meal, as opposed to being single and have leftovers for 3 meals(which I never eat!) So this should be good.

Ok, well, I’m trying my best and like my coworker & WW buddy says “We can enjoy the holidays, but we start back on plan right after!”

Am I the only one?!

Who doesn’t know if they are coming or going this time of year?

Last week I was sick beyond belief, the had to go to Chicago on Wednesday for a work conference. Got back to Texas on Friday, drove to my parents house to pick up my dogs. Saturday went with mom to do some Christmas shopping for dad, brother, and Kirk. Sunday drove back to CS. Monday get up at 5, meet coworkers at work parking lot to drive to Austin for a day long conference, got back from Austin at 7:30 last night. Ate 2 eggo waffles, walked dog, went to bed.

Today I get up, walk dog, make oatmeal, get dressed go to work, have meetings all morning, go to mall during lunch to pick up “graduation pants” for Kirk (if I were to tell him to get dress pants, he’d get a pair of new Levi’s, sigh). I’ve got another meeting at 2:30, get off work at 4:30, go home, walk dog, make appetizer for ‘women’s only’ holiday party that starts at 6. Go do that. At some point unpack Chicago suitcase, only to re-pack because tomorrow I am leaving to go to Kingsville. I work all day tomorrow, then get the dogs, drive to my parents house. Thursday I’m going to Mexico to pick up dog flea medication & swing by a church to say a quick prayer (long story, just go with it for now). Thursday night drive to Kingsville. Friday, KIRK’S GRADUATING (BA in Graphic Design & a BA in Radio/Television Communications)!!! Do everything associated with that. Saturday, move him out of the dorms, drive up to my parents house (halfway point between CS & Kingsville), spend the night. Get up Sunday drive to College Station.

Yeah, I have no time, haven’t bought any Christmas gifts, and haven’t remotely thought about eating healthy or exercising…….. I need some down time!
