Wow, is it already Monday again? It feels like the weeks are just flying by for me. Sometimes that can be good, but we're only 4 shopping days away from Christmas and I'm seriously lacking in the present department. A little over a week until my youngest turns two and I have no party plans made at all. Oh boy!
So yeah, last week was a bit of a blur. I spent the week mostly trying to organize the mounds of clutter in my house and working. Wednesday was our Softball tournament. They split it into two divisions, and we were in the lower one of course, being a 2-8 team. We played our old team and won, and then we played the winner of the second game and won too. We won the championship! I played a position called Rover, which is basically someone who is all over the outfield. I did that both games, and there was a lot of jogging back and forth and side to side. Let's just say my legs did not like me very much for a few days after that.
Thursday through Sunday I worked a lot. I've picked up some hours to try and get extra Christmas money. Even though my check will come after the Holidays, it will probably make up for whatever we overspend before that. I work all the way through Christmas Eve. Busy busy busy. The great news about it is that I'm on my feet a whole lot for work, instead of sitting at home snacking. I try to bring the healthiest snacks possible and drink lots of water.
It seems to be working because I lost two pounds this week! Only two more to go and I'll be rid of those 4 that I gained during my hiatus and be back to my weight that I ended the Move it and Lose it challenge with.
This weeks goals are the same as last. Keep it very basic and continue trying to build good habits while getting rid of bad ones. Get whatever exercise I can. I'll have to do some improvising since we're in the middle of a huge rain storm.
Congrats to our Sista of the Week @ChristiDarty! You're doing an amazing job!
Shout out to @KarlaBond for the wonderful Secret Santa gift. I got an Amazon.com gift card! You better believe it didn't take me very long to spend it. How did you know I love to shop?! :)
Have a lovely time at Mamavation TV tonight ladies, unfortunately I'm working at 7:00pm, so I'll have to miss it. Have a wonderful week and a mostly stress-free holiday!

WooHoo on the 2lb weight loss this week. Way to go on winning your softball championship too. Great job. Hope all those hours keep you focused and away from the snacks. Happy Holidays.
Fabulous weight loss! 2 pounds is awesome!! Extra money around the holidays is always helpful. Remember you can "up" your calorie burn while standing by doing calf raises, kegels, squats... etc. I used to do those when I worked in a video store between customers.
Have a great week! Will miss you tonight, but Happy Holidays!
sounds intense. And It worked for you. Please take it easy over the holiday. Eat smart. Happy Holidays!
2lbs lost - that's fantastic! I find I can manage my weight better when working too - perhaps it's the routine?
Have a very Merry Christmas!
