Chestnuts, Bells, and the Fat Guy w/ Cookies

Ok, can someone tell me how Christmas snuck up on me this year? I mean, it's not like I haven't been seeing the decorations for the last 3-4 months. And it's not like I haven't been accosted by people manning the kettles at every store. Yet here I sit, two weeks away and do I have cards done? No, not even made yet. Presents wrapped? Heck, I'm lucky they're bought. Tree up? What's a tree? Cookies ... mmmm, cookies ... wait, where was I? Anyway, suffice to say I am NOT ready for the holidays. And the more it starts looking like Christmas, the more Scrooge-like I feel. I guess I truly am a vile person.

Anyway, I'm also grumpy because (shock, dismay, astonishment) I'm trying to get into shape again. Yeah, yeah, I know, it takes time. But if I'm making myself miserable for two weeks, dagnabbit, I should see some improvement, right? I mean, it's not like I'm Twiggy trying to lose an ounce or two - we're talking about some serious padding that I need to dump. So is it too much to ask for a pound or two after a couple of weeks? Apparently, it is. *sigh* I'm such a whiner.

Good to see a new entry! Your concerns about Christmas are shared, my friend. (See my Roasted Chestnuts post in my blog.) AACCCKKK!!! TWO WEEKS?!?!?!?!? *thud*

As for the weight loss, I am SERIOUSLY having an issue with this one too. It doesn't help that I have thyroid problems so I gain VERY easily and it's doubly hard to work off. I'm sure in your case that all of the exercise is adding water and some muscle. Take heart and be diligent... before you know it, it will dump all at once and you'll have something over which to do a jig. =) *hugs*
