Return to normal life after holiday weekend
I have to tell you it was actually wonderful going back to work today after the holiday weekend.
The temptation of all that food calling me from the refrigerator was beginning to wear me down. But have no fear, I fought back and I won. I went to bed! It was either go into the kitchen and cut myself the biggest peice of Strawberry Cheesecake or go to bed. So I chose the later, and was very proud of myself.
We packed up all the leftover food and made packages for dinners for the next few weeks. I think if I eat another piece of turkey I am actually going to grow feathers.
With today being December 1st, I have done my exercises and have set a mini goal in my mind before all the kids come home for the holidays. I am beyond excited about the holidays this year.
My daughter and her husband live in San Diego and have not been home since last Christmas, my son and his wife live in Groton, CT and have not been home since February. The thought of putting my arms around my children brings tears to my eyes, no matter how old they are. Nothing like having kids on both ends of the continent. So I have a very mini goal in my mind, and if I can even get close then that would be a perfect Christmas present for me.
With getting back to normal life, that means, dishes, laundry and making lunches all await me. Sure wish I had a dish/laundry and lunch fairy like my husband has!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you all have a great evening.

Good for you!! I know how hard it is to make the decision to go to bed or to just “taste” another bite of cheesecake. Great job for making the right one!
