Wow - it's been over 2 weeks since I last posted. I've been very busy getting things ready for Christmas but I think I'm finally almost ready. Close. Grocery shop on Thursday and maybe saturday for veggies but other than that, gifts are purchased and most are wrapped.... Phew!!
My weight is back up to 173. But all in all, I'm ok with that. We have had a few Christmas Parties and celebrations over the last few weeks. We also have a party on Saturday and one at our place on sunday and then Christmas at ours on monday so I'm not expecting to see a loss next week either.
Then there is the week between xmas and new years which is always lots of dinners/lunches out with friends. I don't think we will do much for New Years this year... just keep it quiet.
So...down lots of water in the meantime and one more Zumba tonight to get the body moving and relaxed going into the crazy weekend.
Not much else to say... just needed to do a mental check in before we hit the big crazy weekend.

Crack in the stall and WHW
This morning's weigh in.... 170!!!! BAM!!!
3 lbs from last monday. I know some of it has to do with my cycle as I always seem to drop on day one but who cares? That is the lowest I have seen my weight in as long as I can remember!!
So success.... and we carry on. What did I do differently this past week ?
I ate more veggies, snacked less at night, cut down on wine and nuts!!! YAY!!! I don't believe I consumed 10,000 less calories than normal but I'm sure there was some built up carb water weight from the past few weeks that I needed to flush out so all good!
Now to talk about today.. today is my yearly "volunteer" day from work. We get one day off a year to volunteer our time to a charity etc. Today I will be helping with the (WHW) women helping women - south delta group.
This is a venture that was put together by two of my dearest friends a few years back. After donating to a group collecting beauty products for women on vnacouver's downtown east side, these group of friends decided to bring the spirit of paying it forward closer to home. In 2010, we managed to put together 52 baskets for a residential recovery home for women.
When the baskets were delivered, a young girl peeked inside her gift and started to cry. She saw a pink disposable razor in her package and said she had been waiting for a week to shave her legs because she couldn't afford one. A pink disposable razor - something most of us take for granted - cause such a reaction! It was that moment that froze in our minds and why we move on with this cause. Last year we made over 800 pampering gift bags!!
The goal behind this project is simple - to give a pampering gift to a woman, mother, sister or daughter going through a tough time in her lift. As beautiful as the holidays are for most of us, they can be incredibly sad for those that find themselves in a less than ideal situation. A card of encouragement is included in each gift and the only thing we ask in return is that one day, when they are on solid ground again, just pay it forward somehow.
This cause makes me so proud of the women in our community that look out for each out and support them. I cry badly each year as we pack up these packages and then wait for the houses to come and pick them up. It's such a great cause to be a part of....
So I'm going to start my day. Grab a coffee, grab some tissue and some healthy snacks and get moving!!
