As bad as my reading got in the second half, I still finished reading 39 books putting me seven above my goal of 32. Katie finished strong with five books in December bringing her to 38, two above her goal of 36.

No new band this month. *sadclownface*

We did, however, cook three new recipes, one of which I made a batch myself. So three for Katie and one for me. They were chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow frosting, Christmas crack (below), and teriyaki chicken.

Do I really have to report on steps? There is no question in my mind that this is my worst month since owning a Fitbit. I just had zero motivation and even less time. And, as a result, I wound up with a daily average of 8,619 steps. Assuming Fitbit does math correctly. Ugh.

Oh, and I finished with a 100% posting record this calendar year.

Here's to a better 2016. Please.
