Tis the season

This is my official Happy Holidays post, since I'm not sure if I'll have time to post anything else before Christmas. I'm off to work, then home to collect the cake, cookies, presents, and Cody's and my overnight bags. And then off to my parents' for Christmas dinner #1, followed by drinking and goofy gift exchange. Then breakfast the next morning, serious gift exchange, and off to Cody's parents' for more gift exchange, Christmas dinner #2, and general shenanigans.

It will be busy, but fun. Hehe.

I'm about five pounds lighter this year than I was at this time last year. I consider this a step in the right direction. The exercise program I've been working hard at is clearly paying off. Around Christmas time, I always pack on some extra baggage, but usually around February I get the motivation to knock it all back off. Now that I'm established in a decent routine (45 minutes per day on the elliptical, 5 days a week), the main thing I need to work on is my eating habits - which are, frankly, terrible.

But that's not something I'm going to worry about over Christmas, of course!

I honestly forgot to do the traditional Christmas card thing this year, but that's more because I've been pretty busy through this season. I don't think I'd have done it even if I did remember. But for all those who I'd normally send cards to, I still love you all!

Hope everyone has a great holiday!
