It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…

December 12, 2012 Comments : 7

It’s hard to believe that it’s already December 11th! I have literally two gifts purchased…so in other words, I’m completely unprepared! Last year around this time, I was pretty much done Christmas shopping…although it was great, I knew it wouldn’t last. ha.

It hasn’t exactly felt like Christmas is right around the corner, but I think it’s because I’ve been extremely busy – well, pretty much this entire year. Between wedding planning and a demanding job, I haven’t had much time to sit back and relax! I’ve been trying my best to make the most of the holidays, though. The first weekend in December, we went to the Colonial Williamsburg Grand Illumination, which is really fun and festive. This past weekend, we went to my parents house for our traditional Christmas cookie baking day. We made TONS of cookies, and we brought along Paige, who enjoyed running around the hardwood floors in my parents’ home. She doesn’t have that luxury at our condo – we have carpet, and she’s still learning the meaning of “potty training”…

We’re still working on making our condo a “home”…and the most complete room right now is the living room/dining room area. We ended up putting up Christmas decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving, so we’ve been able to enjoy our first married Christmas in our first home together!

We’ve got a busy two weeks coming up, between work, holiday parties, shopping, and Christmas – but I’m going to try and enjoy it as much as possible by taking my time to appreciate each moment. I’ve noticed that its incredibly easy to let time slip by without appreciating each individual day, mainly because a majority of my time is either spent at work, or thinking about work (if I’m at home). Not the greatest thing, but I’m trying to allow myself to not focus so much on it and enjoy my husband, our family, our new puppy, and the holidays instead.

Is it just me, or does the holiday season fly by?

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
