Hello friends. I hope you all are having a wonderful week leading up to CHRISTMAS! Can you even believe its already here? I'm having a hard time with the fact that it's almost January. Where has the time gone?!
I have definitely not been working out like I should be. I'll just say it and put it out there. I don't want to use it as an excuse but my sister came back in town, I had my birthday, David's folks are in town for the holidays, I am working overnights (10:30 pm to 7:00 am is B-R-U-T-A-L), and I am sick.
Lots of stuff to keep me from the gym. I am still trying to work on portion control and how many calories I am ingesting; however, I know I need to get back in the gym. I might try and go today if I can muster up some energy. The congestion from my cold last week hit me last night and I am suffering from it. So gross.
I do have some things I need to accomplish around the house like cleaning, laundry, vacuuming, and so on so that will help burn some calories. Burn them where I can, right? :)
On an unrelated note to working out, Ali came home! It was SO good and I literally thought my heart was going to explode I was so anxious to see her walk out of the airport gate and into the civilian area. So, so, exciting. Needless to say, there was a LOT of jumping and screaming.
Right before Ali came out, a solider walked through and was reunited with his family. He didn't look much older than me, and his family and girlfriend just lost it when they saw him. Which of course, made my whole family choke up. I doubt any service men or women will read my blog, but I will say it anway: Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice so we can enjoy our freedoms in America. :)
The whole thing was so touching. :)
My birthday was a blast too! It was a little weird not celebrating on my actual birthday because Ali wasn't flying in until just after 11 p.m. David did surprise me with red Toms, a 50-minute massage and a 50-minute facial. They were heavenly, although I was disappointed in my massage because the gal kept talking to me the.entire.time. Not relaxing but still enjoyable I guess.
Jumping to another topic: working overnights. I am on three of five and it is tough. My sleep is all messed up (yesterday I slept for 12 hours, today I slept for six). It's been a lot to get done at work each night but it is going smooth at least. Praise the Lord.
Overall it's been a busy time of year for the Greens. Lots going on and lots of family memories to be made.
Merry Christmas everyone! :)
