Ahhhhh... it's 6:03 am and I have NOT done my workout yet. It'll be done after I write this journal. See, the thing is - I have PLENTY of time. Why, you ask? Oh, I'll tell you why: I AM ON CHRISTMAS BREAK! YAAAAY! LOL!
I have been looking forward to this break for so long. I have been hustling at work to get EVERYTHING done, to the best of my abilities. Absolutely NO work is waiting for me when I come back on January 2nd. Desk is cleared completely, calender for 2012 is on my desk too, and I even washed my coffee mug! :)
We got a bottle of red wine from management as a Christmas present. Not a big deal, but nice. Looks like a good bottle too. With it came a little bag of chocolate covered almonds. They're good! I split them with Wife, made sure to register them all. They fit perfectly into my RDI AND my belly!
Can you tell that I'm in a good mood this morning? It's pretty nice to not have much to do for once. My mornings are always busy, and even if I like them like that, they're still a handful sometimes.
My daughter loves to draw and paint. Lately, she has REALLY worked on her style and her ability to make things pop. I'm so amazed with her latest work, and I wanted to share it with you guys.
I'd post a full resolution version, but since it's HER work, I can't do that. All I can post is a low res, but trust me when I say that it's a million times better when you see this up close. It's all digital painting, but done the hard way - stroke for stroke. I'm simply baffled that she can do this.
Meanwhile, this is about as good as I get:
This is my plan for today:
NOW: Journal
In a few: Workout
10 AM: Doctor's appointment. Nothing bad, just a checkup.
10:30 AM: Wife will join me, last shopping will commence, then a light lunch out.
Later: Gym
Tonight: Harry Potter 4.
Did you notice that nowhere in my plans is the word "Work"? :)
Sounds like an awesome day, doesn't it? I know I'll be looking forward to it.
Kitty cat is feeling better, and she was quiet most of the night. I, however, had way too much coffee last night and woke up around 1:30 am and never fell asleep again. That's okay. It was a good night to be awake, not one of those where you get desperate because you can't sleep. I was reading an e-book on my phone, and just relaxing. It wasn't bad. I'll probably fall asleep early tonight though.
So, my weight is coming down again. I'm at 82.6 - 400 grams (1 lb) from my lowest. This means I need a 3 lbs drop for tomorrow to be on schedule for my goal. I wonder if I'll make it. It has happened before, but I am not sure it will. I'll do what I can, but that's ALL I can.
I see all you guys doing Christmas greetings. I will wait until tomorrow to do that. Tomorrow is Christmas eve in Denmark, and this is when we celebrate Christmas. Then, we have Christmas Day and 2nd Christmas day in the days after. Days off from work, everything closed.
Speaking of Christmas, I came across this online - it cracked me up!

Who knows what those presents under YOUR tree are up to when you sleep...?
Today I am thankful
- for my HOLIDAY BREAK! WOHOOO!
- Getting up early no matter, and make something of my day.
- Coffee in the morning
- Kitty cat feeling better
- A day out with Wife when she's out of work (and on break too)
- my workout DVD. I'm really starting to like it. :)
So, folks, I think it's time to pull out the yoga mat and get going on my workout, isn't it? I think I feel like getting going.
It's Friday, and weekend and the holidays are upon us! Have a great time, everyone!
Life is GOOD!
