161.5 today
This is my last day of work for the year; I'll return on January 3rd. I have no big plans for my holiday, only to take things easy. I do need to shop for some items, such as new bras and pants. When you lose weight, there's a period of time where most of your clothing still fits, or you can at least make do with belts and such. But at some point, usually around the 35-40 pound loss, things start to look sloppy and you should really just break down and buy some new pieces. I'm not advocating replacing your entire wardrobe at the same time...who has that kind of money? (Unless you DO have that kind of money, in which case I say go for it.) Anyway yes, a small part of my holiday will be spent shopping, which is one of my least favorite things to do. I have a couple of books on hand should I feel like reading. I have season 5 of Longmire on dvd that a friend sent to me, so I'll watch that. And there's always house cleaning that needs doing. I may take some walks, if the weather is nice, i.e. not freezing cold. That's one downside of losing weight--I've been colder this year than I have in a very long time. I'm having to wear an undershirt everyday just to stay at a decent temperature! But that's a downside that I will gladly endure in the pursuit of losing weight and getting healthy.
Here's wishing everyone who reads this a very happy Christmas along with a blessed and prosperous New Year!!

Here it is already Christmastime, and there's something on my mind...
There are four co-workers to whom I always give Christmas goodies: my boss, the secretary, and 2 others in the office. In years past, I usually give them homemade cookies, and I had also planned to do that again this year. I like baking cookies, I can't help it. However...3 out of the 4 of these folks qualify as "obese". In light of my newfound healthy way of living, do I really want to contribute to their plight?? In all good conscience, I don't think I can keep on with my original plan (cookies, etc.) So I've been trying to think, what kind of goodies can I give them that are (a) food oriented and (b) low in carbohydrates and (c) healthy? (MY version of "healthy", not theirs!) Well, there are nuts, plain (as in no coating), hard cheeses, tea, & pork rinds as far as store-bought items. I have a very simple, yet amazing tasting, recipe for almond flour crackers. Those crackers would be great for my co-workers. You see, it just took a little shift in my thinking. My conscience is feeling better already!
