Naughty or Nice?

Week one of my "hidden scale" seems to be a success - at least from an emotional point of view.  My husband weighed himself Monday morning and I considered begging for a turn on the scale. But I could tell he wasn't going to relent so saved my energy for another battle :) I don't think I have lost any of my gain, but I am hopeful that the gaining has stopped or at least slowed. I can still wear my "skinny" jeans comfortably.

Morning walks have felt really good.  However, due to our schedules we haven't made it out the last couple days. Which I am okay with since it has been super windy. I can bundle up against the cold, but the wind goes right through me.  Although maybe the extra resistance would make for a better workout :).

I did some Christmas shopping over the weekend and found the perfect ornament for Millie and her sister.  I am completely obsessed with Christmas ornaments and my husband didn't think the dogs needed one, but how could I resist? Now my husband and I are constantly updating their status. This picture was taken before Millie was moved to naughty side after getting my sweater out of the laundry basket and chewing the sleeve last night!!

Hopefully, I will finish the shopping this weekend. And Monday is our 4th Annual Cookie Frenzy - baking event with Aunt Anna.  What is left on your Christmas preparation list?

    The only thing I have ready for Christmas is the car rental.

    Oh bad Millie! Sorry the wind has been so bad up there lately. I'm making candy tonight and then I just have one more batch of cookies and candy to do before Christmas eve and that's it. I'm ready to go! Now that all the stress is out of the way (gift buying, wrapping), I'm hoping things will settle down and I can enjoy the season! Merry Christmas Anna, hubby and furbabies! ((HUGS))

      Sounds like you are in great shape for Christmas! I tell myself every year I am going to shop early, but then I am afraid of committing to a particular gift too early...what if I see something that would be more perfect???

      I got the ornament at Hallmark in Alton. It was too perfect to pass up.

    What a cute ornament!

    Glad your husband is sticking to his guns. Your emotional health is just as important as your weight loss. It's a journey, not a sprint, and this gain is a blip on the map in that journey.
