Catching Up.

It has been awhile since I posted something…mainly because I like to put pictures up and haven't uploaded any recently. It has been a busy couple of weeks. Since we are driving (yes we are crazy) home for Thanksgiving my plan is to bring all of the Christmas presents so we don't have to fly with them. This is good in theory but it was hard getting it all done. We are officially done and Ryan has (in his words) secured a box from work so we can haul them home easily. I am happy with everything I got. Some of it involves my craftiness…yeah didn't know I had it either…and other some searching around. Of course I had some Crate and Barrel action involved and there are also a ton of outlet stores close to us. I took advantage of those too.

Tonight is dinner with my second cousin and her husband. I am really looking forward to seeing familiar faces…especially when they are family. We are going to a Lebanese place so I am not really sure what I am going to order. I agree that I should start being a little more adventurous with my food.

The weight is still coming off even though I have slipped a couple times. I am still working out (even purchased goggles and a swim cap so swimming can start) but I give in to the food sometimes. Girl scout cookies have been a problem. One day I found myself with four of them in my hand. Ryan was like, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?". I honestly think I blanked out….well that is the story I am sticking too. The other major fall of the wagon was a double chocolate shake at this new burger place we tried. It was so yummy though!!!!! For Thanksgiving I am not going to worry about calories but still try to workout. Then I will hit it hard again once we are back. I plan on having a Dr. Pepper date with my grandma.
