Saturday Roll Call

Maybe a few of us will be around to answer roll call. I don't always have time during the week. 1. What are you doing for the weekend? 2. How many pounds on average are you losing a month now? 3. How much Christmas shopping have you done? 4. Do you feel in control during the Christmas or out of control? Happy answering! Karla

1. What are you doing for the weekend? Last night I met a friend and we went shopping at Walmart for a family our Sunday School class is adopting for Christmas. It was fun shopping for 3 girls...we both just have 1 son apiece. Today I am going to go for a walk this morning in the park, dust, clean kitchen, clean bathrooms and floors and ceiling fans because I have my Sunday School party here tomorrow night, and 3 friends coming over for a Christmas get together on Monday after work. I also have to get all my food ready for both of these. 2. How many pounds on average are you losing a month now? around 8...I've noticed this trend for a few months now. 3. How much Christmas shopping have you done? Pretty much all of it. I still need to get my 3 nephews a food gift card from Sonic or Subway. On my side of the family I just get them a little something because we siblings all agreed a few years ago they are all spoiled and get way too much anyway. They seem to love me just them same whether they get a big gift or not. My oldest niece told me last weekend even though I got her something else (Christmas decoration for her apartment) that she needed a Subway card, too. I bought her about $20 worth of 100 calorie pack boxes to take back to Dallas last Sunday! At least she has the guts to ask, and she'll probably get it, because I've been there and done that too many years ago, and my family always sent me stuff to help out. 4. Do you feel in control during the Christmas or out of control? Not usually, unless it's just a really busy week. I love the Christmas rush, decorations, and just holiday spirit in the air. Karla

Hi Karla Here are my answers: 1. What are you doing for the weekend? Trying to stay warm. We had a snow storm yesterday and got 12 inches of snow. Today the temperature droped and the wind picked up I'm staying put inside. 2. How many pounds on average are you losing a month now? On a good month I will loose 5-8 pounds. I have 7 to doctor's goal so it is really a struggle lately. 3. How much Christmas shopping have you done? Totally done and everything is wrapped. Channuka starts on the 15th so I have to be ready earlier than the rest of you. 4. Do you feel in control during the Christmas or out of control? I'm not any different. Luckily there is not any goodies in the house to tempt me.
