I was doing alright for the most part counting points and doing my workouts during this holiday season. Then, the past like four days/nights, I have gone out and celebrated with friends, family, and Sean. Oy. My body and my budget will both be glad to go back to normal this week with work and routine. I already have my meals planned for the week :) And I know when and what I'm doing for my workouts this week. Time to get back to it!
I had a nice holiday and break :) I got to see MK and Danielle while they were in town. We went to Seasons 52 for our annual 3M Christmas Dinner- so yummy! On Christmas Eve, Mom, Memaw, and I went to Mass, then Conor and Sean joined us for dinner and Phase 10. The next morning, we had our family breakfast, opened presents, and then Sean and I went to see a movie. Such a nice way to spend the holiday.
Right after Christmas, I went to Scottsdale to visit Dad and Diane. It was nice to see them and get to some warmer weather. We exercised daily, outside most of the time which was very enjoyable, saw a few movies, and had a very nice time catching up with each other. We even did a hard hike! Okay, Diane did the whole thing, but Dad and I made it pretty far. I also got to see Sarah and Rijan while I was out there. We met up for a late lunch and catch-up session which was great :)
I came back to Memphis in time for New Year's celebrations. On New Year's Eve, I was Melissa's partner in crime going to a few parties (including the one at the Powers's house- so nice to see some more friends that night!), and Murphy's for their Diva's Night Out show. It was so much fun, and I stayed up/out later than I have in quite some time on NYE. New Year's Day, after Mass, I rested for a bit since I had been up so late (I know, I'm getting older...). That evening, I went to Sean's for a New Year's Day dinner, and we had a nice time celebrating the beginning of the year together. Since he has had the last four nights off from work, we have been able to get together each night! We went to Seize the Clay with a few friends, and we had dinner with another. Tonight, we stayed in and had homemade chili and cornbread, and sweet Sean watched "Downton Abbey" with me.
I get to sleep in one more time before the semester begins again on Tuesday. I will enjoy it thoroughly :)
