What are you doing/eating today? Wednesday!

Doing:  Post office, grocery store.

Eating:  Protein shake, protein shake, protein shake, protein shake, oh and protein shake.  Maybe a sugar free popsicle here or there  lol

Doing: Work... boooooo, ready for Christmas vacation; Doctor's appointment with a visit to the lab... boooooo, bye bye about 100 vials of blood; I ran 6 mile before my appointment though... yay!; still working on Christmas shopping and making a list of all th baking I want to do, this is my second Christmas postop even though I was just a baby newbie last year. I still plan on doing a ton of baking and candy making. I'll have a little bit of what I want to try and gift the rest away. My enjoyment comes from the baking/making, not the eating now :).

Eating:

1.  Pure Protein bar after my lab draw

2.  Chili for dinner

3. Greek Yogurt

4. Probably a protein shake

It's harder to get everything in that I need to since nearly half of my day was spent fasting!

Ohhh what are you baking?  I LOVE to bake and have gotten my list together to start this weekend.  I will eat a little during the holiday season but I make it for friends, neighbors, family and coworkers.  It's therapeutic to me to cook and bake.

Well, so far on my list of candies to make I have chocolate walnut fudge/plain chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge, peppermint bark and peanut brittle. I want to try my hand at some truffles but those will probably be the first things to be skipped if time doesn't allow me to get done.

I'm baking Melting Snowmen Cookies (a cake-y cookie recipe) which my boys picked out, I make pecan tassies for my husband, molasses cookies because they were a tradition in my house while I was growing up and tea cakes, which we decorate some and leave some plain. Also new on my list of things to try this year are a hazelnut mocha macaroon and some chocolate dipped shortbread.

Hopefully I'll get it all done. I would also to do some homemade bread, nothing fancy, just simple white bread. I like to do that because friends, family, neighbors, teachers, etcetera really seem to love a homemade loaf of bread.

What's on your list?

Doing / Done.... not much

I had to get up just a couple of hours after going to bed - somehow I agreed to a  730am dentist appointment???  I love my dentist, but 730????

   My mom's lift is messed up so poor thing had to spend the entire day in bed. Which translates into she will be miserable tonight trying to sleep.  They ordered a new one for her (heavy duty since she is SMO) but never called back when we asked for a regular one in the interim. This one has lasted a year, so it isn't as if us borrowing one for a week would mess it up.  Sheesh.

I did get time for a nap, then to work for a 12hr shift. No gym today... I figure after whatever crud I had maybe a rest day is warranted.
