It's December 20 and I've already eaten my weight in Christmas/Hanukkah cookies. I froze the leftover Hanukkah ones for Christmas, and I've been raiding the freezer. Forget the religious issues, celebrating both holidays is wreaking havoc on my waistline.
I have four big meals coming up, and I'm responsible for all of them: Christmas Eve, Christmas dinner, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day open house. There will be a lot of ordering.
I have a raging chest cold, and that does seem to be helping with the appetite suppressant side of things - I haven't gone near the freezer today. So that's good.
I went to a minute clinic about the coughing this afternoon, and the nurse practitioner used a regular blood pressure cuff on me. Because my arms, while not small, are regular-sized now. That was a nice NSV.
Back to holiday news: I haven't wrapped a single gift, I just ordered our Christmas cards the other day and I need to put together the grocery shopping list for the big dinners. Nothing like a looming deadline to get a procrastinator to focus.
Fantastic NSV, I hate having to tell the Dr to get the big cuff.
ReplyDeleteExcellent on the BP cuff-- happy holidays and perhaps it would be good to take ONE day and just call off all sugar/ carbs (you can promise yourself you can have a cookie the next day.) Then see if you can repeat it and so on.. I need to take my own advice.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I walk into the kitchen in my office, there are sugary treats etc. Ba humbug.
Our bandiversary is coming up!!!
Great NSV! Sounds like you've got a busy couple weeks ahead of you. I'm not doing Christmas cards this year. Just couldn't bring myself to start them. Good luck with everything and hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm stressed out just thinking about preparing four holiday meals.
ReplyDeleteFeel better!
I always have to use the larger cuff. I can't wait to get to that NSV!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better! xo
