And you are so right to direct us to start working on the holidays! I picked up a pretty tin box in a clearance area yesterday that will be perfect to hold a gift card! That 99 cent purchase has sent me on my way to a holiday season with less stress! Emotionally and financially!

Almost every time I have slipped up, it is because I didn't plan ahead. I know I am going on holiday next week and it is not going to be so easy to exercise or eat healthily so I am making a plan for how I am going to keep my healthy lifestyle outside my normal routine.
MORE INFORMATION:
You cannot plan for everything that happens, but if you have pre-empted and thought about what might trip you up, you are half way to beating it.
This is the time to start all the winter sports so join some and have some fun. I am on 4 bowling leagues and we have had a good start for the season. It is so much fun and it is family fun too. Whatever sport you like join and have fun. Great for exercise and fun too. Smile Joyce
