We woke up (in our new house) to a serious winter wonderland outside. The trees and bushes were all covered in snow and it was a great morning to take things nice and slow – including getting out of bed. I let the kids sleep in too, in their new rooms. Last time we all stayed over it was Thanksgiving the next day so we had to get up and get ready to go (it was really more like Thanksgiving brunch – at 11am). Anyway, today we all slept in. It was glorious.

I didn’t get my morning cardio in on the elliptical machine (hence such a late post today) and I really did not get much in the way of exercise all day unless you count walking at Costco and the grocery store and shoveling my driveway. Yeah, eventually we had to make our way back home and face THAT music. Yuk. Anyway, even with that mess and my 16 year old daughter having a complete meltdown this evening, it was a pretty good day. Here’s this weeks stats for posterity…

Steps/Exercise.. 12K steps per day. Not too bad.

Sleep.. 7 Hours and 43 minutes average sleep per night. Kick ass!

Work.. I worked a full 40 hours (say it ain’t so!), but that balances out with the 24 I worked last week trying to get my schoolwork done and deal with the time off for the holiday.

School.. Semester two is over and semester 3 does not start for another 6 months so that is a nice feeling at the moment.

Relationship Status.. Happily engaged. I feel like I should not need to say this every week since that is not going to change for a while but I’m putting my hands in the air like I just don’t care – so there!

How about this new one instead?.. Moving status.. I’m estimating that I am now 1/4th of the way packed.

Feels like I am forgetting something??!! Oh yeah, healthy eating!.. I successfully made it all the way through November without any coffee and one of the things I did on December 1st while I was running errands was get a medium hot macchiato with French vanilla swirl flavoring at the Dunkin Doughnuts. Yeah, that happened. I think giving up coffee for a month did zero for me anyhow. I’ve had thoughts about trying to do something in December, but not really inspired by anything for any reason. Now it is the 2nd anyhow so we’ll see if hitting Monday causes some thought about being hung-ho on something else this month. So tough anyway with so much December goodness about to happen. I guess I’ll just see how it goes.

It’s late now (for me) and I’m fading fast. Going to e a good week ahead – just gotta make some more progress on the house, and get my hours in and then I will call it good.

Cheers,
