All shapes and sizes...

As I finish up the first week of "The Biggest Loser" competition for my office, I am reminded that everyone comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are tall, some short. Some thin, some bigger. Some lean, some poochy. I'm charging forward with my 1200 calorie/day (six 200-calorie meals every 2 hours) meal plan and I'm doing ok. I cheated a couple times this weekend with my sister in town (hello? Bix Restaurant? YUMMMMM!). But, I've lost 3 lbs this past week and feeling good! I won't be obsessive. I won't be unhealthy. I'll just be dedicated...and see how it all turns out.

In the same vain, I went to the tree lot yesterday and found my 1st San Francisco Christmas tree. So, as I looked through the selection, I realized that trees, too, come in all shapes and sizes. And, as I turned the corner down the 2nd row, there he was...mine...in my shape...and in my size. Wide. Short. Perfect. :) I paid for him, lugged him up the brutal Filbert hill, and dressed him up all pretty.

Here he is...sparkling away, spreading all kinds of Christmas cheer in my home...
