At last...............

Thursday, December 02, 2010

It took me three days but I finally finished decorating the tree. I have a few last minute details to finish around the house and then I am done.

I love Christmas, too. It took 4 of us 1 day to decorate, and a whole day to clean up and put the boxes away. Is it worth it??? YA!!! Report Inappropriate Comment

I bet your tree looks terrific! I actually feel like Christmas this year. Report Inappropriate Comment

December goals:

Wednesday, December 01, 2010

It's December, and time to update my goals. I like to keep my goals short and sweet. That way it is easier for me to remember them and I can be more flexible.

December goals:

1. Track food and exercise.

2. Stay within calorie range.

3. Eat enough fruits/veggies.

4. Exercise 30-60 minutes daily.

5. Visit my SparkFriends daily.

6. Keep a positive attitude.

7. Read more (and not just novels).

Have a wonderful Wednesday. Sending you (((((Skinny Vibes)))))!

Don't fall asleep...

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

I fell asleep and slept for an hour. Now (after changing into my PJ's) I can't get back to sleep. After my DH complained that I was "bouncing around in bed" I came out into the living room and decided to spark. Sometimes you've just gotta regroup.

(I wish this was me.)

If you are like me, you fell asleep about 20 minutes before the alarm went off! Oh well, I bet you'll sleep like a baby tonight! Report Inappropriate Comment

I hate nights like that. Sometimes when I can't sleep in bed I go to the couch and then can fall right to sleep. Report Inappropriate Comment

I hate when I do that. I hope you were able to get some sleep last night. Hopefully that was you after the blog. Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm back - at my usual time after midnight also. Back to the schedule and I need to get back to Spark. Sleep well. Report Inappropriate Comment

Welcome to the Nightowl Society! Yes, there is life after midnight and my astronomer DH and I are always the last to turn off the lights in our neighborhood. As I tell my hub when he can't get to sleep: It helps to turn off the lights and close your eyes LOL! Wish I had a magic cure for this, but I suspect we each have to find our own ways that work. In the meantime, if you have to get up early, I recommend you go back to bed and close your eyes! If not, spark on with the rest of the nightowls! As a member of the Nighowls in the Daytime Team, I promised to try to get to bed by the same time every night (2:00 AM), so I better go now! Report Inappropriate Comment

Gonna have a good week

Monday, November 29, 2010

How can I go wrong. I got 500 Sparkgoodie points this AM. I'm up a few pounds since this time last week but that's no problem. All of the leftovers are gone and I'm back on track. Christmas decorations are under control; I just need to finish the tree and the outside lights. I'm going to resume my challenges today.

I hope you have a great week. We can do this together!

Slowly but surely

Sunday, November 28, 2010

I am slowly but surely getting back into the sparkswing. I'm using the nutrition tracker again and am getting lots of exercise. Today I put our Mary/Joseph/baby Jesus/wise men display up outside and got four of the wreaths up outside. My DH had an injury and cannot help but I am getting things done slowly but surely. The tree is up and ready to decorate tomorrow. Many of the presents have been bought.

This week I'm hitting spark hard. I want to stay in good shape for the holidays so I can start the new year right!

Have a great week friends! Laurel
