Just a quick note today to show you some of my holiday decorations.
I really love getting things decorate for the holidays it brings me
a lot of joy; and to frame it in exercise terms it can be an
excellent day of active rest.
I know it took me about 5 hours to prep and get my outdoor
lights up you definitely use a lot more energy(aka calories)
doing that than sitting on the couch watching football
As yo can see I still have some unfinished business
with the tree decorating but I will get to that this weekend.
The big stuff outside is done and that is what I take
a lot of joy in.
During our after dinner walk around the neighborhood last night
I was assessing my standings in the neighborhood I would say
I rank top 5.
I am already planning on what's to do to move up the ladder
for next year.
A couple quick take home points here on fat loss:
1. Getting out for a late evening walk is a great way to
spend quality time with a significant other.
At the same time keep you moving towards your goals with a little light
movement and way from the freezer or pantry where you might
otherwise be sabotaging your efforts with your 'night time routine'
2. Alway be looking forward and trying to improve whether it
is fat loss or christmas decorating.
I will definitely take time to enjoy my ligths; but I will be thinking
about what and how I am going make them even greater for me
next year.
Not to show my neighbors up, although I am very competitive; but
moreover to bring more from something I really enjoy.
There seems to be a lot of people with heads down this year of how bad things are or will be. Take some time to enjoy what you have, for me a few simple strands of lights, a little, time and a little money spent sure make me happy during the holidays.

I actually have more that I would like to put up
but I ran out of extension cords and I need a taller
ladder.
Wait till next year.....
This might be the best looking tree we have ever had the bummer is it doesn't have much smell which is a big part of the reason to get a real tree in my book
Just wanted to take a quick moment to share some personal stuff and few under appreciated tactics for fat loss.

Your decorations look fabulous! I don't get into decorating, but I can admire the work others put into it. I agree about the real tree smell. Mm!!
I know a lot of people who are struggling right now with some huge issues (finances, health, and tragedy in the family). What makes me happy is being able to connect with people, especially those who are struggling, and make them smile, or at least understand how much they're loved. It makes me happy to know that I can help others in some way.
Happy holidays!
Margi,
Thanks
and
Thanks for sharing I agree.

The part I love about Christmas is helping people less fortunate, the decorating and the quiet time at home with family. We donate our time every year to feed the homeless, which is a great lesson for kids to see how much they have compared to others. Unlike many women two things I don't like are chocolate and shopping.
We generally pull out all of the Christmas Decorations the day after Thanksgiving and when everyone else is dealing with the busiest shopping day of the year we get everything decorated inside and out. I have been collecting Christmas Bears (stuffed animals) with the year on them since my kids were born (they are now 21 & 19. We literally put all regular knick/knacks and home decor away and replace it all with Christmas items. My Bear Collection alone exceeds 40 at this point, but we also have a ton of other decorations too that include ceramic and wood items, many home made. Everything will be put away and back to normal by January 1st.
I was going to post a sample, but I can't figure out how to upload a picture from here.
