Despite my best efforts

The trick to not gaining weight over xmas is to eat sweets in place of a meal instead of along with a meal.

Brunch:

Mexican wedding cakes

Dinner:

Linzer cookies

Bedtime snack:

French cheese cake

And now I am thoroughly tired of sweets.

Snow is in our weather forecast, so I am hoping for enough to go cross country skiing this week. Unfortunately, we are also getting high winds. I'm not one of those people affected much by the weather, but howling winds get on my nerves after a while.
