Christmas is ALMOST here!

I'm excited about this time of the year :) My kids are super excited and so am I. I like the family gatherings, but i really don't like being surrounded by all that food!! Especially DRESSING and DESSERTS. I am going to splurge a bit and enjoy it with my family.

My workouts have been ON POINT and feeling sore almost all the time. Eating hasn't been 100%, but it hasn't been horrible. The weekends out shopping is where it has got me like this weekend. I ended up doing extra cardio today along with my chest/back workout. Also meeting more fitness minded folks at the gym helps to stay motivated and push a little harder. So this week i'm going to switch around the workouts so i can still get ALL of them in since i know i won't be going into the gym on Thursday and don't know what we are doing exactly on Christmas Eve. I get quite bitchy if i miss a workout. Somethings i need to work on:

1. Stop taking BITES of stuff!! Haven't done this yet today.
2. Get enough REST.
3. Limit extra exercises to prevent overtraining.
4. Do my best during the holidays, but not use it as an excuse to cheat!! VERY IMPORTANT ONE HERE!
   

As far as home life, not much going on. Well, i'm still in the process of teaching my oldest daughter how to drive. EESSH, i pray for patience on this one cause she scares me sometimes and drives like granny clampits, wish is fine in a way, but she needs to really find that middle ground. She REALLY wants to get it right, but needs to pay a little more attention on simple stuff. I met her boyfriends mom this weekend too and her boyfriend (which is really respectful and nice) joined us to do a little Christmas shopping while my husband stayed home. He made it clear to me before i left to not leave them alone not even a second no matter what. TYPICAL dad right?? LOL. I trust my daughter to an extent and she is really not like that, but i do have my limits. All in all, the weekend went great with him. So weird though to see my daughter with a BOYFRIEND like that. Her first "serious" one. Her little sisters were just finding things to embarass her by, kids! Oh crap, i just rambled on! Just wanted to keep it more interesting :D
