Thanksgiving Check In

I allowed myself Thanksgiving Day to pig out, and pig out I did.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite meal.  But, other than last Thursday, I’ve been behaving myself food-wise and have been getting all my workouts in.  I even ran 15 of the 60 minutes I spent on the treadmill on Saturday.  Felt it a little bit in my right calf, and now my hip flexors are a little sore.  But, other than that the running was a success.  I’m still going to focus more on walking, but maybe try to get in some running once or twice a week.  No surprise though, with the Thanksgiving meal(s) so close to my weigh-in time on Saturday I was up 0.6 lbs from last week, but as of this morning I am down 1.2 lbs from last Saturday.

For my Black Friday Challenge success, I’m getting my hair extensions put in tomorrow.  Cathy is only putting in three “sandwiches” as I’m going for volume only and not length.  So basically, the only one who will notice a difference is me.  The other model she is doing is going for length.  She’s getting 11 “sandwiches” put in!

I also think I found my reward purse for when I make my Holiday Challenge – New Coach Purse.  I *just* need to lose 4.8 lbs by December 18th.

In preparation for Scott to move in (no, we have not decided when this will happen yet) I got my master closet redesigned last Wednesday.  I went with elfa products.  You can see info on what I had installed here at The Container Store and enter in space ID 1437651.  I still have a few minor tweaks I want to do to it.  But 90% of it is up on the walls and looks darn good.  Now I have to urge to do the rest of my closets.  But that will have to wait until the budget allows for it.

Friday afternoon Scott, Jeanne, and I put up the Christmas tree.  Jeanne found her favorite ornament (an old peacock that belonged to my Grandma) and took it into her room to hang on one of her dresser knobs.  And then yesterday I got up the outside lights.  Six strands wrapped around six small bushes.  Jeanne hasn’t seen the outside lights yet and will be so excited to see them on when we come home on Wednesday night!
