The OTK Fantasy Football league finished its regular season… and it was a wild final week. 5 teams battled for the final 2 playoff spots, so lots of tears. Check out what happened… and see the lucky few that will battle to win a paddle. You can click HERE for the update.

And if you want to see the paddle that is on the line, just head over to Sassy Paddles. Very cool site.

We are pretty much into the full holiday swing here now. Haven’t quite figured out our exact Christmas plans. Might be here at the house, or spending the day at family’s house. Depends on a few different things, and we should know pretty soon. Either way though, we’ve been getting ready for Christmas.

That’s meant we’ve been busy picking up gifts, wrapping, sending out cards… etc-etc… sure it’s the same in many other homes. We’re also baking cookies. Some are for guests here at the house, others are to give to family. We’re not much on sending adults gifts through the mail. We don’t have the budget to buy expensive things for our extended family… and sending a $20 to $30 gift across the country can be real hit and miss. Hard to figure out what would be appreciated. So, we bake cookies and send those… and they seem to be popular.

Of course, having a cookie factory here at the house isn’t the best thing for a diet… lol. We’ve set a limit of 5 cookies a day while baking, and aren’t counting those towards our daily calorie counts. Basically “Christmas Freebie.”

That seems to be helping too. We both stayed within a few tenths of the same at the scale, and that’s plenty good enough for us right now. Will gladly take that this coming week too.

We’re wishing everyone a happy holiday season… and good luck with diet efforts.

Friends Update

Carye: Carye is also in full holiday swing. To add to the busy time… she has a new puppy. Fun! We love dogs big time… but know they take a lot of focus when they’re new to the house. We’re looking to get a puppy too, but have decided to wait until the new year.

On the diet front, Carye is working to just maintain the last couple of weeks of 2009… then pick up the effort in the new year. Sounds reasonable to us. Good luck with the puppy!

Jean: Jean has some real stresses at work right now… and in fact, she and all of her coworkers might be out of a job. She has other options, but having to change jobs obviously isn’t easy. Really hoping things work out there for her.

Jean also has been working with her doctor about changing her diet, especially adding more protein to her day (especially breakfast)… and drinking more water, lots more water. Jean is behind the changes because the reasons make sense. Still… they aren’t changes she’s looking forward to. We’re coming up with some ideas on how to make them easier and will look to have a couple of new rules come January. Want to get this job thing worked out first though, and enjoy the holidays without adding a bunch of new stress.

Courtney: Courtney spent a few days at a theme park with her family this week, and that went pretty well. She took a cooler of veggies in with her and then ate a salad for lunch. Dinner was a bit naughty, but that certainly is allowable. Planning ahead certainly made a big difference.

Speaking of planning, Courtney is going to need more of it to get through this coming week. She’ll be on the road for the holidays. Several states with eating on the way and then different relatives homes and holiday meals. Really tough challenge. Maybe borrow that veggie idea and do the same for the car ride. We wish her lots of luck.

N~ (from Living Domestic Discipline): N~ is busy with the holidays and didn’t get her update in this week. We’ll catch up next time though.

_____

Iggy (from Perceptions From the Edge): Really short update from Iggy this week. She shared that all is well and that she managed to lose a pound. That is great news… really neat to be down at this time of year.

_____

Korey Johnson (from Spank Notes): Another busy friend! Didn’t hear from Korey this week… but understand how that goes. We’ll catch up with her next week too though.

Good luck to everyone in the coming week.
