The Weather Outside is Frightful!

Looks like Winter came in with a bang this year! I can't believe that just last week there was still no snow on the ground, and I actually thought to myself "there might not be snow for Christmas". But when I look outside today it's a completely different story! It's also keeping me housebound, which I have mixed feelings about. Sometimes it's nice to have the excuse of 'oh it's just too bad outside to go anywhere', and I can stay in my pj's all day and drink hot chocolate and clean my house. But then with a 9 month old that is very curious and is constantly getting into EVERYTHING it's nice to break up the day with going out and spending time visiting, going to my Mom group, strollersize..anything to keep her busy!

After much thought I've decided not to go back to the gym during the day anymore, which is really putting a damper in my plans to lose weight. But after two times of having my daughter nearly choke on something, I have to put my interests aside and look out for whats best for her. I mean, where do I draw the line? Do I let this keep happening until she does actually choke? So I've been going in the evening, which is difficult because a) I have to wait for either Hubby to get home or my Mom to come over, and b) the weather gets worse at night for driving and my gym is 15 minutes away, and c) it's right at dinner time which is when things are pretty busy around here..

Oh well, I'll survive. Maybe in a few months when she is a little older and can realize what SHOULD go in her mouth and what SHOULD NOT. Granola bar wrappers should NOT! uughh.

Anyway, it's beginning to look like Christmas around here, and I'm getting excited for my first Christmas with my little girl. She already loves the decorations and the tree, I can only imagine what she'll do with all the presents!

As for my weight, well I have been pretty good this week so far but still I feel very frumpy and lose in the middle. It's nice to hear members at the gym tell me that I'm looking good, but I actually don't believe it myself so I almost think they are lying to me. I've been doing my exercise videos at home all week with classes every evening so far..But of course it's dinner time that kills me, with that oh so delicious comfort food your mothers warned you about..But it's so delicious! And who wants to eat a salad in December...also the deserts have been calling my name lately too. I wish I was allergic to all things yummy then I would have no problem saying no. What I really need for Christmas is a Personal Trainer and Dietician to come to my house..Here's hoping :)
