It's so true though. It was a hard change for me. When I make a dinner now with a meat and a vege or salad it still seems like the rice or potato is missing.
I don't think it's a good idea to not have snacks. I know that would mess me up. I try to eat every 3 hours or else I get too hungry!
Thursday: 1718 calories, 630 deficit, still no exercise
Hi... ...uh, remember me? **hanging head....** I can't believe how long its been since I last posted. One day turns into a few, then a week passes by, and then you can't remember the last time you posted!! Sorry girls!!! I miss you lots but literally drag myself home from work, throw some food together, get them to their karate classes, homework catch up for the boys, get them ready for bed and then I crawl into bed also. Days 2-14....REPEAT!! Hopefully once the holidays are over, I will have my hours cut back and I can deal with day to day life again. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, I hope!! ...oh, did I mention I've had my period for 3 f@&*ing weeks? AARRGGHHHHH
Curly, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. How is she doing now that she's home? Glad to hear that your Dad's okay after the accident he had. And what about the men in your life? Any details you want, or feel the need to share? huh? huh?
Val.....poor you and the ear infection. Hopefully that is all over now but watch for signs of a yeast infection (intestinal or other...yuck) Antiobiotics are notorious for that, but nothing some good yogourt can't help with.
Dee....How you doin? Tell Lee....well never mind. Nudge him off the bed if you need to. A girl needs her sleep and like you said....he can cat nap during the day while you're at work!!! geeeez
YEP my mom is doing better now that she is home, she has a visiting nurse a few days a week & also a physical therapist... but its slow going... ummm Men? right now i have 2 lol one is 38 and the other is 50 .. u will get a kick outta this... i had an email from Bill ( the EX hiker) Told him I was dating a new guy and Bill said " boy, I sure hope he likes to walk". hehehe
I am doing a lot of reading trying to RE-motivate my weight loss.... i am thinking that we need to start up some challenges after the new year, when things have calmed down for all of us...
yep... Angel this cold weather has ruined me... when i leave work all i wanna do is come home shut the door and be warm..... dont know where all my energy has gone... i guess its someplace with my MOJO!
I lost 2 pounds of the 5 I gained over my ticker thanksgiving week. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be back where I started. I need to get back into exercising next week. I've been feeling so bad I took a whole week off.
HI Val... glad to hear u are feeling better! congrats on the 2 lbs!!!!
I am thinking of a challenge like the one we did for Easter that time... maybe we could collect hearts for a valentines challenge... we all did so well with teh egg collecting... and dropping some lbs..
even tho we all got sick & tired of posting our points... it did work!!!! so think of a few categories to score points in... and lets kick this off either after christmas or new years!!!
I feel like ive been in a holding pattern for the last 7 months ... and really need to get re-motivated... ( lol she says agian for the umpth-teen time)
I am back to the dentist today for the digging & scraping of the other side of my mouth,,, and then to work at 1 pm...

Went after work to pick up some rx's and also picked upa bottle of the one a day weight smart vitamins... dont know if its just me but they seem to curb my appeitite .. tomorrow i am starting back in with my powdered protein shakes...
they also seemed to work well for me... its supposed to be a gorgeous weekend so i may go do the hike around the lake solo...
we will see... my mom wants me to go to a cookie sale and pick her up some christmas cookies... now I ask you is that a dangerous assignment or what????
how are u guys doing with the christmas spirit??? think my christmas spirit took up residence with my mojo where ever it went...
and where is Petra??? and L2L????? and all the missing pic's????????
Curly, how long is your hike route? I've been very bad since we last chatted (in case you've forgotten, you helped me resize some photos). Anyway, I'm up for a hike, just tell me how far, and I'll hike with you from afar. I'll make the commitment, I swear. No snow or ice up here, so no excuses. But I can't use the usual mountain trails - there's snow there, and hikers not welcome on the ski trails.
Send me the challenge distance and I'll perform. (No! Don't maKe me! Wanna watch tv.... alter-ego speaks)
I just bought a used car - the prior owner was 82, and used it mainly to xcountry ski. He died isuddenly n bed reading the paper, was slim and fit. I hope his mojo has stayed in the car and when I try to x-ski this year I won't fall on my fragile tailbone as I did two years ago...
Well here is another lost soul. I'm down here in Mississippi. Started my new job this week. My eating hasn't been the greatest and I really need to try to get back into a schedule of some sort but I haven't figured out how yet. I'll try to check in a little more regularly. Nice to see some familiar names
