Out Of it

So wow! Where did December go? It's hard to believe that I haven't posted here since the fifth. Yikes! I guess I've been so busy getting ready for the holidays that it's just flown by.

I am pretty much ready for Christmas. All of the gifts are bought and wrapped and all within budget. Yea! My house is being cleaned as I type (more on that later) and I've got the prime rib ordered. I still have to get the rest of the groceries for Christmas Eve dinner but I can do that tomorrow.

Robby is my new housekeeper. He still hasn't found a job so I said that if he cleaned the entire house that I would fill up his gas tank so that he can get to his hockey games this weekend. He got a pretty good start yesterday and will have to finish up the rest today. I'm trying to keep things as uncomfortable as possible at home for him in an attempt to motivate him to get out there!

I'm at work so I don't have my numbers with me. I'll try to post with them later today.

Decent Weigh In

I weighed in this morning and I am down .8. At least I'm back in the 230's now. 22.6 more pounds until new bras and underwear!
