Ok, it was bound to happen.....we were setting up the Christmas tree last night and I couldn't help it.....I made some cookies. It just seemed right. So, I made oatmeal cookies with less sugar, used olive oil instead of butter and used less of it. Oh, and I put chocolate chips and walnuts. I told myself to be good, but I still ended up eating 5 of them (with 1%milk), they weren't very big, but I still went over my calories for the day. That was the day I lowered my cals, too. Oh well. Back to being good.

Today is a new day. I will make it through the holiday season this year without gaining weight. I have already lost a couple of pounds, so, if I control myself and amp up my workouts, I may see the scale drop a little more before the new year. I told my husband that we may be getting some smaller clothes down from the attic by the time we put the christmas stuff away. I really want that to happen. I know that I am the only one who controls what goes into my mouth. (I controlled those cookies right into my mouth last night)

My plan for today: Do a walk/jog around the neighborhood for 30 minutes today (11am), send out some christmas cards, clean house, coach Bear through as many school assignments as possible. 2 classes done, 3 to go!!! Way to go Bear for finishing 9th grade doubletime!!!
Choose my food wisely, do a little extra today to make up for yesterday.

It's chilly here today, the cold front has moved in. It was 47 when I got up, should be 70 (perfect) soon for my walk. I hope everyone up north is careful driving in the snowy weather and staying warm!!
