This week was chock full of holiday goodies, parties, brunches, dinners, etc. O.M.G. The food was all delicious and I made sure to eat any fruit or salads at the events. I also tried most of the carb-loaded treats too. I worked on portion control though, which definitely helped. It's like my Pepaw always said- "A little dab'll do you." I work hard to remember that when I see plates full of cookies, cakes, breads, dips, casseroles, etc. And I do notice that I'm getting fuller faster than last year for sure. So, that's a really good sign.
I am officially on Christmas Break :) We had exams this week and most of the kids did well enough on them so I was pleased with that. Only a few still struggling and I encouraged them to come to tutoring next semester- fingers crossed that they do. And grading the exams was actually not too bad- a bunch of us got together, turned on the Christmas music and it went by quickly. We also did our Secret Santa exchange this week and I got some nice wine and some really cool/cute wine accessories. That definitely motivated me to get those exams graded so break could start and I could enjoy my new treats :)
The last few days have been semi-packed with seeing friends for catch-up dinners, gift exchanges, and all that good stuff. It has been a blast. And then today my mom had her Christmas brunch which was so fun and tasty and put most everyone in the mood for a nap.
And here are a few new photos of me with the tree and then me with my mom and grandmother in front of the tree :) We're so festive!
