Oh my gosh - Monday again!! Roll call and goals

Good afternoon everyone. How are you all? I hope that you are having a wonderful holiday season. I have two more days of school after today and then I have a much needed break! Goals: 1) Get to the gym 5 or 6 times this week 2) Don't eat anywhere at home but the kitchen table (so I can't graze in my favorite chair or standing at the counter.) 3) DON'T STRESS OUT!! 4) Get on here and respond to more posts. That's enough for this week. Believe me, I need a break from work and need some extra sleep. Off topic question of the week: Is your Christmas shopping and wrapping done? What do you have to do to be prepared for that much awaited day? I need to finish up shopping and wrap all of the gifts. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Wish you could all come help and we could have a "wrapping party". I'll be up all night on Christmas Eve wrapping gifts. Oh well, I am blessed that we are able to buy gifts for the kids. What a wonderful holiday! God bless all, Andrea P.S. Doesn't the little smiley guy on the title emoticon remind you of Rudolph????

Hi Andrea & all, Yeppers, had presents bought in Oct, BUT I just wrapped last week. Wrapping is such a pain That emote does look like Rudy, never paid much attention before! If I don't talk to you before you & the family have a Merry Christmas Carolyn

Carolyn, Wow - too much with having things already bought and wrapped. You sound like Jesi!! That's why she is coming to my house on Thursday. She thinks she's going to have fun, but I'm putting her skinny butt to work!! LOL Have a great CHRISTmas! God bless, Andrea

Hi My one year anniversary is December 22, (this Wednesday) I'm only 50 pounds away from my goal. Can't believe it! My goals: Finish Christmas Shopping (my mother is the worst one, not sure what to get her) Walk a little more. Drink more water. Still having problems with that, but I think it's getting better. I haven't started to wrap presents yet. I guess I'll be the last person wrapping at my place. Take Care and Merry Christmas! Love Lisa Young

Lisa, Don't feel bad about the wrapping - I'm in the same boat. Good job on being close to your goal. You will do it. Make sure that you are eating well in the meantime. Happy anniversary and Merry CHRISTmas! God bless, Andrea

Andrea, hey good afternoon....ummmm i guess my goal this week is to start christmas shopping and getting them wrapped...ummmm yeppers i waited tilll the last minute once again.......today i went out and shoveled and omg i was having fun doing it......yes i was having fun..... lynda

Lynda, Hope that you got your Christmas shopping done. I can't believe that you waited this long - I would go nuts, (I am anyway!) You shovelled? - shoveled what??? We don't have a speck of snow in our neck of the woods. Sure would be nice to have a white Christmas - but all we get is bitter cold. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Keep on shoveling and enjoy your Christmas, God bless, Andrea

Andrea, just to let you know i am started yesterday and finished yesterday. i took the day was supppose to go with my sister but she wouldnt get out of bed so i went by myself got what i needed and came home. only took me 2 hours to do the kids and couple friends and my family.......and we got snow monday and i like it but the cold weather is ickyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!! lynda

Hi all, Goals for this week are to get on the treadmill more, I'm only 20# from my goal. I need to stay really busy so I don't feel sorry for myself. I crocheted almost of my presents this year, only have 3 family members, so it's not that big of a deal. But I did get all packages mailed last week, so that's done. I dropped off 35 hats I made to the local homeless shelter, feel good about that. Isn't is strange how at this time, you think "I'll never get it all done" but somehow it all works! Take care everyone. Nut

Hi Sue, Treadmill and staying busy are good goals. Remember that we love ya when you start to feel upset!! Wow - 35 hats is a great gift to the shelter. I bet that they all love you. If you have no where to go on Christmas, why not volunteer at the shelter or somewhere to do some more charity work. I'm sure that would warm your heart even more. Once again, if you were closer, we would adopt you. Want to drive to Long Grove (near Davenport)? Hang in there and have a merry Christmas. God bless, Andrea
