What does everyone have going on this week?
Re: MMPP
Today: Work, Weight Watchers (I'm interested to see the changes their making to the program and they're announcing them tonight), my nephews band concert.
Tomorrow: Work
Wednesday: Work, spin class
Thursday: Work
Friday: Work
I would like to get to the gym a few times this week and get al my Christmas gifts wrapped.
I do WW online. I'm interested to hear the changes coming too.
Your week sounds really similar to mine. Work work work and more work.
Monday: work then working out. I was supposed to get dinner w/ a friend but she is a chronic bailer
Tuesday: work, volunteering, then coffee w/ friends
Wednesday: work then a nice dinner w/ DH
Thursday: work and maybe getting some Xmas stuff up. SHOOT! I still need to send my ornament...
Friday: I have the day off (because I work the weekend) and I'm thinking about going to visit my aunt and baby cousin.
**spence**--- they made more changes? I'd be interested in hearing about them- I used to do it about a year ago when they changed the whole program. I quit because I hated the program- didn't lose any weight and I felt hungry all the time. It was awful for me.
I'm a single mom this week so I'm trying to pack our days with fun/busy stuff to keep us sane and in good moods.
All I have planned and will all be decided the morning of: make ornaments with the kids, make cookies or cupcakes (t's choice), library, play place at the mall, picnic dinner on the living room floor.
While T is in school I'll be finishing up my Christmas shopping (hopefully) and doing my grocery shopping.
Other than that, I plan to do more reading, less tv time, and bed early.

Friday: Work, Department holiday party, then I'm going to see Wicked with DH!!!! (it was my BDay present from September! I'm so excited!)

I'm all sorts of jealous. I was hoping it'd be running still in January when my MIL & FIL are up so they could babysit and my husband could take me for my birthday. No such luck.
ENJOY!

I don't do WW but didn't they just come out with a new points program? How often do they make changes?
My plans got canceled at least for Mon. & Tues. since Kaitlyn developed pink eye early Sun. morning. DH isn't leaving tonight as planned, he's been battling a sinus infection since late last week & might have gotten pink eye as well, but since he was already on antibiotics, that decreased it.
If we're all healthy by Wed, our last small group of the year. Thurs. & Fri-nothing so far (I have a moms group dinner Fri. night, but no babysitters yet), Sat-Handcrafters Craft show in Northville, then celebrating Christmas w/my aunt who leaves for FL. in a week. Sun-church & then DH & I are going to see Natalie McMaster at the Macomb Center
I saw Wicked in Chicago a couple years back - AMAZING! Have fun!
Hope everyone had a good weekend! Generally - this week is full of work - I have a ton of overtime to work this week since about every little project I'm working on seems to be due a week from today. I'ts going to be a long week. As long as I can get out of work by 6:30-7 every night this week I have these other things to do:
Tonight - ballet class or go for a run if I miss class
Tuesday - run after work
Wednesday - gym/run and pilates class with my mom
Thursday - run after work
Friday - work holiday party!
Saturday - Farmers Market, run, church, possibly have to go into work for a few hours
Sunday - run, church if I odn't make it Saturday becasue of work, and starting some holiday baking!
I need to mail out my ornament this week!
Today: Work- then go home to rest. I had a severe allergic reaction to something yesterday and have red bumps all over my face/chest/back. It's A LOT better than yesterday, but I am exhausted from that.
Tuesday: work, meeting with landlord (since we had to reschedule), and dinner with an old college professor and some of the people I graduated with
Wednesday: work, then baking cookies with SIL/MIL. I am so excited!
Thursday: work, workout?, WW with mom.. Apparently I am now at 27 points...
Friday: work, then relax!
Oh and somewhere in all of this I would like to have our Christmas Cards mailed by Friday haha
WW is pretty popular around here.. I didn't realize!
Work and work.. Wednesday I have my first new weight-in for WW at work. I did really well with the program over the summer but have slowly fell off the program. It's time to get back into it!! My pants are starting to get snug again:(
I am going to try and get some Christmas shopping done this week during my lunch hour.
I only have 9.5 working days left this year.. Yes I am counting down, I can't wait to be off for 2 full weeks!!!
This week I have to get laundry done, grocery shop, drop some paperwork off at DS's daycare, get xmas cards addressed and mailed, buy and send an ornament for the exchange, buy a birthday present for my niece (& hopefully xmas presents) and finish decorating the tree. Oh, and then my niece's birthday party on saturday.
We've had two bad nights in a row, so I'm really hoping DS starts sleeping better or I'll never get everything done!
Tonight DH is watching the girls so that I can go to a Christmas program at our church that the women's ministry puts on. My Mom is going to so it should be a fun time.
Tomorrow I have to drop off our car to be serviced. I found out today that the repair IS covered under warranty so I'm thrilled. That's $1500 that doesn't have to leave my pocket!!
I don't really have any firm plans for the rest of the week, just trying to get things squared away with the house so that we can get moving on it.
Thanks!!! I'm so excited! It should be a great time!
