CNN

Today is the CNN VIP tour (we splurged for the $35 tickets lol).  It a thing-to-do in Atlanta which no one local ever does (because it's so close and can always be done).  We are playing tourist today and checking it out.  Thank you My Happiness Project.

Yesterday was pleasantly uneventful.  Nails done, baking finished, errands run.

I did get a call from my aunt yesterday asking me to host a Boxing Day family meal since some family will be in town.  I'm glad to do it (it's my turn) ... just wish it were a different day.  That's 3 big cooking days in a row ... at the end of the season.  My relaxing Christmas will now be meal prep (they want an early meal so some can get on the road).  It will be fun though.  I did some meal switching so ham wins.  This grouping of family has a ton of food issues and you need to be creative to accommodate everyone.  Ham (with sandwich set up), salad bar (with goodies on the side), funeral potatoes and that's that.  Not hard, just yucky timing.

Today is my switched rest day so treadmill intervals heading my way.  I'm glad I made the switch ... my knees are much happier today.  Friday will be a really early run day.  I was thinking of an outside run, but it might be below freezing.  I'm paranoid of black ice and the cold will activate my rosacea.  Treadmill might be repeating Friday.  I need to have a second interval routine ... I'll give it some thought.  It's really warm this morning ... wish I had thought of outdoor run today.  It's too late now - buses on the road.

My eating was good yesterday.  I stayed clear of the cookies.  I really want to completely avoid them this year, but I'm not sure if I will.  The choice is mine (I know), but I don't completely trust myself.  I know one will lead to many and that's the problem.  Less than a month of holiday cheer left.  Graduation, Christmas, New Year's and girls' weekend.  That's the end for a little while.  I need a stretch of no big social stuff lol.

Okay folks.  Off to finish my tea and hit that old treadmill.
