QOTD: We always have some Disney paper. This year it's Toy Story, Tinkerbell, Pooh, the fab five and princesses. We also use Disney gift bags. We fill in with various other paper. I like lots of colors spread out around the tree. The same papers are used for gifts leaving the house. Each year I have to pick up more Disney paper, but I still have a pretty good stockpile of other wrapping paper.
We almost always have a Disney paper too.... but since I didn't buy anything this year, we don't have any. OH well.
I hope you got it all done. Tomorrow we have a Mortgage refi meeting in the morning then I'm tackling the housework. My mother actually started cleaning Nick and Hunter's room today, but they need to finish.
Yup.... go most everything done downstairs. And I was smart enough to pick up after the kids ate.... put away the extra table, washed everything, etc. So I came downstairs to a nice clean house this morning! It was a LOVELY feeling!
I had a lovely suprise today. My entire family showed up at work at Noon to have lunch with me. They got McDonald's for themselves and I had already had a yogurt so we just sat and talked. Apparently it was my mother's idea as she's been concerned that I'm depressed. So She called Chris, and her and my Dad picked up the boys. They also brought me a nice little rose plant.
It's nice to see how much they all love me
My mother doesn't distinguish between depressed and stress out. I have plenty of anxiety, but I'm not at all depressed.
So sweet of Mom to be so concerned! I know my Mom feels bad when she thinks I'm stressed (like yesterday.... she called as I was pulling out my hair at the toilet that had started leaking!!
).

Lisah0711 with an astounding 11.89% loss!!!!!
Congratulations to all of you! You all should be very proud of yourselves!
I have enjoyed working with all of you! I have cheered you when you PM'd me your losses and shared in your frustration when you had to post a gain!
It has been an honor to be your weightkeeper!!
I look forward to tracking your weights and goals in the next challenge. Keep up the great work 
You all did SO GREAT during this challenge! WTG!! And double congrats to Lisa for being our BIG LOSER!! Percent or pounds, you still did great!!
Please excuse me while I do a little
here. I am so happy to be the Biggest Loser this challenge. This is the 10th challenge that I've done on the WISH boards since 2009 and by far the most successful for me. Everything just clicked this time. I watched my calorie intake, realized that exercise never burns as many calories as you think, and hit every goal I had for each month. I could never have done it without all of you to support me! I thank you all so very much.
Have a great evening all!
You set a GREAT example for all of us with your return to the basics.... watching calories and exercising!
Sorry I was such a terrible coach today. I forgot about the library date with DD's class when I took todays date. Then we ended up going to Yale to see DS15 run again, so another 1.5 hour drive through rush hour to get there, then we had to wait for his event. Tonight he ran the 600 meter, placed second in his heat and ran in it in 1 minute 39 seconds. He was in an unseeded race but that group actually ran faster then the 2nd seeded group.
OMG my computer sounds like a rocket ship taking off so I'm going to shut it down until DH can look at it. So, I guess I'll touch base tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great night!!!
Great job to DS! Don't worry about coaching. Things are so quiet here with the holidays... I feel like we are doing fine just taking care of each other!
It actually wasnt all that busy at HS tonight. Granted we didn't get there til around 5 but still wasn't to bad. Sci Fi I think changed their menu, at least it appeared that way to me. They have a lot more sandwich/burger items on their dinner menu now. They still have the steak and the shrimp pasta items. They also added wings to the appetizers. Which let me tell you, those wings were DELISH! We both had angus cheese burgers and split the wings. Alan also had a side salad. I don't normally drink soda now But my head was spinning so bad because I was hungry (and I'm sure my blood sugar was dangerousy low). After a few long sips of soda and a few wings I started to feel better.
We ddn't ride any rides while we were there. We checked out the Osbourne Lights before dinner and then just sat around and talked before we checked in for our reservation. It was 930 by the time we were walking out of the park and after 10 by the time we got home. I walked about a mile and a half. So in the past 2 days I've walked 3 mies.
I need to get back on track and eating healthier. Ever since I was in IL my eating habits have gone down the toilet :thumbsdown.
Nothing planned tomorrow other then picking up some stocking stuffer items and a few things for the furbabies. Our honey baked ham is being delivered at some point tomorrow.
Sounds like a nice evening at MGM. I'm envious of you and others who live close and can just "pop in" any time! That is definitely a dream of mine!
Good morning everyone, I'll be your coach for the day!!! Sorry if I copy any of the previous questions.
Holiday QOTD:
Did you ask Santa for anything health or fitness related for Christmas or did you buy anything health or fitness related for someone else that will join you on your weight loss/fitness journey? It so what was it?
I asked for a Bosu ball, but didn't realize how expensive they are. When I realized it, I asked people NOT to get it. Other than that I just asked for a renewal of my WW magazine subscription and maybe another magazine like Fitness (which I currently get for free, but it is due to expire).
Disney Fluff Question of the day:
If you could go or do go to Disney around the holidays, do you take part in the holiday Santa's from Epcot's World Showcase and if so, which one do you enjoy the most and why?
I"m not particularly familiar with the all of the different Santas and such that they do at Epcot. I think I'd really like the Santa in Germany, as I believe that St. Nick originated there. And I'd like to see the Santa in Norway.... DH is Swedish, so that would be reasonably close I suppose.
Interesting question!!
*************
Happy Christmas Eve Eve friends! Believe it or not I actually braved it into a MALL today. DD needed to finish her shopping and wanted to hit the mall, much to my chagrin. It was crowded, but not insane, when we arrived about 11 am, but even WORSE by the time we left around 1:15. But she is DONE shopping and so am I. I was pretty well done, but we needed grab gifts for a last minute get-together next week, so I finished that up in Target.
DD has a swim meet tonight at 7pm, so I need to go have something to eat (missed lunch....just had a small salad a minute ago, but it won't be enough for the night), and then do some wrapping and get ready to head out.
I told myself that I would try hard to NOT miss a day on here over the holidays to help keep me on track. BTW, I was a samer today.... not exactly what I had hoped for, but pretty much what I anticipated with TOM here for a random visit (perimenopause.... so much fun....NOT!).
My parents are arriving tomorrow around 11 am. I think by then DD and I will have already been at the Y for a swim and workout. Then after lunch it will be time to finish wrapping and get ready for 4pm church. I will pop on to say hi and hopefully answer the QOTD (if there is one tomorrow). TTYL........P
Enjoy your date night. You'll have to let me know how you like the movie. DH and I go to a lot of movies, but I haven't added it to our list yet. 
You should be jumping up and down. 
Don't worry, I haven't been walking around the gym in bright yellow spandex or anything 
Just old shirts that I don't wear out anymore. 
) I also asked DH to buy me running items but to wait until the day after Christmas because our running store is having a huge sale that day. While it won't be under the tree, I will still be getting it. I am excited because today I ran in my skirt that is being held together with safety pins! 
o you have matchy matchy paper or is it a free for all?
