Happy December!!

Happy December friends!!

December! Can you believe it!? I definitely can't, but I do love this month, so I welcome it with open arms!

I loved Rachael's post on December today! It's easy to get caught up in reflecting this month & then looking forward to the next year…but we've got 31 whole days this month to make count!

I just love the hustle & bustle of this time of year….the shopping, the parties, the family time! I love walking in to our tree & wrapping gifts & ornament exchanges. I hope to make this month count more than ever, though. I don't want to over indulge on food, just to look back & feel bloated. I don't want to over indulge on plans just to look back & feel tired.

So there's 2 main things I'm going to do this month - 1) keep my workout routine. No extra slack days this month! 2) build in some rest time with Brandon & our families. I want to not have tons of plans when our families are here, I just want to be with them & enjoy!

I started a 10 day cleanse yesterday to keep me on track! I don't really care if I don't lose a single pound from it, but when doing something like a cleanse, it helps keep me focused. "Should I eat that? No I'm on my cleanse right now!" Keeps me motivated, working, you know?!

This could be a good look for Santa, right!?

Anyways…we had a wonderful little Thanksgiving!! We ate yummy food & played with nieces, nephews, & dogs, went shopping, napped, and just enjoyed one another! I did a terrible job taking pictures, per usual. But here are a few…
