Here is my ubiquitous Christmas light photo! Everyone has to have one. I took down our tree on Wednesday so that I could burn it. I’m just now getting to putting everything away.

I will miss Christmas a lot. It was so much fun to share all of the holiday traditions with the kids.

I had a pretty low-key day. Cyprus is feeling better, so I got to play with him more rather than just comfort him.

I ran 2.5 miles tonight. It was a big milestone for me. I don’t know that I have EVER run that much at one time in my life. It was hard and exhilarating all at the same time.

Today was the first day in 4 years that I have not felt fat. All my hard work is paying off. I have now lost 40 pounds since Cyprus was born, and I am feeling it! I’m at 160 pounds.
