Every year I say to myself..."Never again! I am going to get my shopping done early so I can just enjoy Christmas" and well every single year in true Fancy Nancy form I am ready to tear my hair out trying to get last minute things! Left on my list are....let's see EVERY stocking stuffer just about that I need! I can do it but I need to learn from my mistakes....next year I'm all over it! In an effort to stay positive, here are 3 things I have actually done well this holiday season....
2. Tall Mom Challenge....I have stayed on track with my running and am only 3.8 miles away from hitting my 2011 goal of running 1500 miles!!! With all that happened in the Spring I was uncertain if I would get there but I am so close I can taste it!!
3. Budget Victory....well even though I have stocking stuffers to get and I forgot to click buy on an Amazon order, I have managed to stay within a budget this year. I have caught some great sales that allowed me to get great gifts at a good price!
How about you....What victories have you had this holiday season???
I have the same problem... And then every year around 12/21 I realize I still need to start shopping :-/ good luck!
ReplyDeleteFinished Xmas shopping over a week ago so that a HUGE victory!! :) Now, to tackle the grocery store is a whole other problem.
ReplyDeleteI did great this year and was pretty much all done with Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving hit :). I have also managed to keep the holiday weight in check by having a January marathon to train for!
ReplyDeleteI did just realize that I don't have the ingredients for the dish I was assigned for Christmas!! Dang.
You are doing great! HBBC has really kept me on track with my workouts. I love it! I am done shopping and wrapping! Usually I am locked in the office on Christmas eve night wrapping all of the presents so I am pretty stoked that I am already done!
ReplyDeleteEvry single year I swear it'll be the last year I let it go. And like you, it's the stocking stuffers that get me...
ReplyDeleteI'm totally a last minute shopper. Walking around today in town though not all but a lot of shops have moved Christmas stuff and decorations out already, I mean COME ON!!! Its as bad as having it out before Halloween!!! Makes me sad because it just shows how commercial the push for it all is.
ReplyDeletehot dang way to go on losing weight during this time of year!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job losing weight! I am so behind on my HBBC points posting. :( Life seems so crazy right now.
ReplyDeleteWell done Nancy! Losing weight this time of year is not an easy task. What have I done well? Stayed on track with fitness. Sometimes it feels impossible but I have managed to keep fitness as a priority this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteThose are 3 impressive victories, Nancy! Great job! The craziness will all be over soon... hang in there, and enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteNice celebration of the things that went well :)
