Mmmm...carrots

It's 11 o'clock and I am munching on half my lunch...carrots and broccoli to be exact. I ate a lot of carrots and broccoli over Christmas, it was my go to food when there wasn't any "good" choices. I am so sick of broccoli that when I chew it now I have to close my eyes and swallow to keep from gagging! Sounds delicious right?!? I don't have much left and I don't want it to go to waste.
Christmas was very long this year. We drove to South Dakota on Friday and tried to drive back home Sunday afternoon. The blizzard was so bad that we got stuck about 2 hours out of town and had to stay in a hotel until Monday morning. I was so relieved when we finally pulled into the driveway. Christmas Eve was a nice dinner at my parents house and Christmas day I had everyone over for wine and appetizers. I really didn't eat a "meal" on Christmas day, just grazed on fruits, veggies and COOKIES. We have a handful of sweets left and I have them in a bag ready to go to the New Years Eve party we are attending.
I got right back OP yesterday and the scale was already down .5 this morning. In total the scale is up 2 lbs. from before the Holidays. TOM is on the way though and my sinus infection is still holding on tight. I think that most of the gain is water retention so I will stay off the scale until next Wednesday. I have a few weeks off from school so I am going to be cooking at home and getting my daily run in!! Woohoo for TIME!!
I'm not sure it counts as a workout but we are planning on painting 5 rooms in the house this weekend. I think I might go crazy. I can't wait to see how it turns out though!! I will have to take some pics and post them. Derek is letting me paint the spare bedrooms as nursery's. One is for Rosie and the other is a blue theme (hopefully I will get another niece or nephew soon)!
