HI everyone. We had a lovely visit with our friends. I was their midwife for their son, its fun to watch this bright little guy growing up. He is now 11 yo, and I just love him.
I was able to stick to plan all day, and went for a 45 minute ski, the kid on his snow shoes, wow can he run in those things! Tonight I am doing food prep for our big party tomorrow, I make French-Canadian tourtiere (meat pies) and some other goodies. lots of fun, but I am not feeling my best. I am hoping it is "atkins flu" with going low on the carbs after a few days of higher carb eating. Sure don't want to be sick.
Trish, I am so glad for you that ww is your thing. Ruth, maybe you should look into that, since you can't do low carb.
It was nice to hear from Rosebud too.
ttfn ladies, have a good night

spent the night by the fire dozing, but up at 5 unable to sleep longer. Have been starting making the food for the party. Fasting sugar was 6.0 this am, which is high for me, especially since I was on plan yesterday, and I am wondering if I forgot my metformin last night. I don't remember taking it, but I am usually good.
Less achy this morning, so hoping I will be fine tonight and last night was just atkins flu.
also, my heels are really painful today, seems like I have tendonitis. Always something (whine whine) to slow down my exercise. Well, today is just for getting ready. Have a good day everyone.

BGL 5.1 this morning and weight up just a smidge.

Mad, WW is a great programme but I think I'll stick with SBD since it's just low-carb enough when I pay attention. I've been through WW at least five times and, quite frankly, can't stand the meetings which are all a half hour drive from here. It may be the leaders I've hit but they seemed rather phony in their constant enthusiasm. I'd lose 9 to 11 pounds and then quit. I have to do this on my own, I guess.

Just had a wee spot of exercise dashing to the road with my trash. The lad waited for me - I guess the Christmas tip paid off.

My Thursday morning coffee group is due to arrive shortly - coffee only for me but they are bringing baking. Our usual locale, Bob's Diner, is closed for the holidays so ...

My meals for today have planned - it's all about balance.

Good Morning,

I am happy to say that I'm down another pound today and my FBGL was 117 this morning. So things are working well.

Mad So sorry about the painful heels. I've experienced that before and learned it was the knee highs I wore to church etc. Quit wearing them and no more problem.

Ruthie I don't do WW meetings either. Although I had thought about it, but I joined online and it was way cheaper. So I'm doing the online/WW at Home and I've joined that thread here on 3fc. I do better doing WW at home on my own. When I get into all the little rules they insist on, I don't lose any weight, but when I do it on my own I lose very well and consistently. Computer makes things so much easier these days.

Well, my company has 2 more days here and they will leave Saturday. We have really enjoyed having them here, but will be nice to have our house back to ourselves, You know how us older folks are... we have our own routine/way of doing things. We don't eat like anyone else etc. I need to go out to run a couple of errands this morning, but have to wait until the drivers get up so they can let me out. Just little things like that. However, like I said, we have really enjoyed being with them. We have more in common with them than not.

Y'all have a great day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR CHICKIES!!!

Well, our party was a great success, but I have cheated way too much. So New Years eve will be quiet. Don't feel like going out, just a quiet evening at home with DH and dog.
Ruth, surely you can have something with your coffee? Like a snack with peanut butter or something? Savoury not sweet? Glad you can stick to plan tho. Happy New Year.
Trish, enjoy your company and have a lovely New Years eve with them.

talk to you all next year!

Bad start to the day again - 3.0 at 2 a.m. I need to get something to have when that low hits. Raisins? Dried fruit? Once again I had a fairly low carb dinner and no bedtime snack. I really do not want o re-establish snacking habits. It took me too many years to ditch it!

and here's to a healthier 2011!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, LADIES ...

I have been coming by to read, and do post when this PC isn't acting up on me. The IE closed on me a few minutes ago ...

so had to start all over again ...

It seems to take an hour to just send out one email or make one post some days.

I am supposed to be getting a newer PC some time in the new year; not sure exactly when though. I am going to try and (re)format? my other PC if I can; am waiting to receive all the programs I need to reinstall though. That will be new for me, so it will likely take me a bit of time; but we always have more time in the winter months anyways.

I'm trying to get off the munchies from the holidays; sent a lot packing. I am doing good on the meals this week and hope to do even better as I go into the new year too -- hope 2011 will be even better than 2010, which wasn't too bad for us here.

We are also just staying home for a quiet New Year's tonight; there is a dance in town but the roads are getting a bit slippery after it

ing all day today. We got up to 40 F today -- and a lot of snow has melted; that will make room for more to come; they are predicting some for tomorrow already ...

Plus the temps are supposed to dip again, which was expected; the same thing happened last year too.

Hope you all have a nice night no matter how you are celebrating it ... Rosebud
