Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!  Christmas Eve we drove up to OKLA to deliver gifts and visit with family and friends.  Stopped off at the Nursing Home and left a couple of gifts for 2 of the residents that I had gotten to know over the 2yrs that Dad was there.  Either have any family.  They were both so excited to see me.  Made me cry.  Came home late, so we slept in yesterday.  DH cooked me breakfast!  Rest of the day was just relaxing and watching TV/movies.  Even took a nap!  But today I'm back to work, although haven't had but 1 call.  Customer questions about placing an order.  Hope everyone has a nice day.

Good Thursday Everyone,

Hope everyone had a great Christmas.   Mine was pretty low key and pretty relaxing for the most part.    We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for everyday.    One thing we should be grateful we woke up this AM and have another chance to change our lives today.   Today I am grateful that most of the junk food is out of my house.   Almost all of the desserts went to my daughter in law's parents house last night.   I was tired of being tempted by them so off they went to someone's house that can eat them and enjoy them and not worry about the "damages" that they will do you them.  LOL   Grateful for the time spent with family and friends over the holidays.    Grateful for the true meaning of Christmas.   I'm grateful that this year is almost over and that hopefully next year will be a much better one for me.    Grateful for my WLS and my health and all the choices for different WLS today.    Grateful for Obesity Help and all the great advice given to others in need.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

It is the day after Christmas and you know the sanitation workers dread today because of the extra heavy lifting they have to today.  Also dreading today is the customer service reps at the brick and mortars for all the returns they will have to deal with.  Lest we forget the poor UPS folks. They have not gotten all the goods delivered then they will have the returns from the internet shoppers to take back.  My ill fitting boots included.

Very sedate Christmas with it just being Jan, the fur child and I hanging out at the house.  Scales are NOT user friendly this morning!  At the top of my upper end this morning.  Too damn many cookies!  Jan is making a platter of them to go to my office with me.  They will disappear very quickly from the conference table.  Long as they are out of our kitchen - I'm good. 

Be careful if you are out and about and pack a little patience if you are stuck in line at the customer service counter.

Merry Christmas Everyone.   Instead of doing a Motivational Quote today....I am giving motivational advice on having a successful meal if you haven't already had it.   Use a small 6 " or smaller plate.   Take a teaspoon of whatever you want.    If you want dessert eat just a bite or a very super tiny piece.   Remember this is only 1 day.   Also take a walk if the weather is permitting after your meal to help burn some of the calories you ate.   And most of all....be grateful for the time spent with your loved ones and family.    Have a very Merry Christmas and if you gain a pound or so....work real hard the next couple of days to get it off.

Merry Christmas ~~~ Vivian
