Hope you have a wonderfully magically sparkly time!Woohoo-- I'm leaving for Orlando tomorrow night after work, I've got a decent head start on my Christmas shopping, and my Christmas cards came in today. Time to start addressing envelopes!
Love the advent quotes... might have to try this myself.I don't really plan exact meals when we're at WDW. Just try to eat moderately.
I don't get too stressed about the holidays. There is no family anywhere near us so we're not going any place. I order treats for them from Harry and David to be delivered and so shopping is done!
One thing I do for me is each day during Advent I write a quote on our giant whiteboard. Yearrrrrrssss ago when the kids were little I found a couple different daily Advent readings. I select a phrase or sentence and write it out. I was sad this year because the kids are gone and I figured I wouldn't do it. Then I realized I really did it for me, not them. So this weekend I'm trudging up to the attic to get the box that has our Christmas tree and Advent stuff. The tree won't go up for a couple more weeks. DS has a birthday mid-December so we never put the tree up before then. It brings me a lot of joy and peace to do the readings, and then figure out what is meaningful for me that moment and write it.
My wahoo is that I made DH go see zoolights with me Monday evening. It was so much fun to walk through the zoo and see the gazillion lights they had everywhere! I really enjoyed it. He liked it, too.
Goalwise, I've logged everything this month, but have missed my step count a few times. Some days are like that.
Last question of the month - What worked great on your last WDW vaction? What will you do different next trip?
What worked great for your healthy lifestyle this month? What will you do different next month?
Some days are like that.I need to become more accepting to this fact, there is no way around it - some days are simply like that, and part of long term successful maintenance is not making big deal out of little thing. It really isn't all or nothing.
So this last trip we stayed in the parks from RD to about 12 and then either eat lunch at the park then head to the resort or head to the resort and eat lunch. We hung out at the pool Until we need to get ready for dinner. Dinner was always around 5 or 6. Then we would stay in the park until after the night time show. After doing this i really liked it. Having that down time made the days much more bearable (not so tired, feet not hurting as bad and a husband and daughter not on the verge of a melt down).
My son's surgery is schedule for December 20th. He told me last night that he is nervous. I told him that it was normal to nervous and that he will be able to take his bear and blanket with him. To be honest i am a little nervous too. Everything will be fine but that fear is always there.
I.
Of course you are nervous. Everything will be ok, but it's natural you both feel like this.
