Hi Ladies!
 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas :D :) :sman:

I went way off plan :ink: Last night I felt that overstuffed distressed feeling for the first time in forever :p I need to get back on track!

Anybody else have trouble making it through the holidays without blowing their diet? :?:

Take care everyone! :D

:snf:

Me Too-MOO!
 

Felt awful,
Forgot how sluggish and sleepy you feel.
Went to bed at 7pm and got up at 5am. :dizzy:
Didn't feel like doing anything and felt stuffed and uncomfortable.
Following my diet today.
Looking forward to feeling better and wanting to get things done.
On to a new and slim new year. :coffee:

Rosey - what a bummer about all the things that tried to ruin your Christmas, but you sure are spunky. Glad you made the best of it. (You could have used my oven - it was not in use. :lol: )

Loofah - you seem to be one of the few people who hasn't been waylaid by the Christmas fairies and led astray. Congratulations - you'll be in onederland in no time.

Carol and Joanne - I feel your pain. Yep, I've been off the wagon too. Temptations were hitting me both at home and at work and I've been feeling sorry for myself because of all the hassle of trying to replace things I lost in the wallet theft that I gave in to temptation. :eating2: then I had butter in the house for the first time in months to cook my special Christmas dinner and well -- it found its way into my daily eating until it was gone. I daren't weigh in until next Saturday. I'm afraid I will have to change my tracker then. Sigh. I guess we should all be thinking about our New year's resolutions. :lol:

:coffee: Morning all, Well I know I've been MIA but have been on vacation and went to Texas for Christmas. The family was great and I too ate everything in site. Really thinking hard about getting the New Year started off on the right foot. :(

Rosey your always making the best of whatever life throws your way. A lesson we all could learn from. Thanks for being on this thread, just your spunk keeps me going on alot of days. Love you girl. :love:

Rosetta I know you've been really stressed. I went through the same thing with the credit cards and Id's last year. It will get better, it's just hard to see right now. Hang in there baby. :sman:

I'll be off work til next week. Check back soon.
Deb :^:

Hi all.
 

Well, I've started the day off right with a proper breakfast and a prayer.
Hope you all are doing well today too.
Rosey-don't worry about mil -sometimes as we age we forget to have manners and patience b/c we see the end looming every day. All they may have is their own little space to worry about and forget that others are busy and don't have time to help them right now. I find myself losing patience when waiting for something. It isn't the only the young that want things figured in a microwave minute. Try to overlook her and remember we will be a crusty minded old fart someday too. I'm halfway there already. :lol:
She is a weath of things already learned tho and could be a help to you in other ways, as long as she doesn't try to take over. She may be feeling bad today that she crabbed at you. Just a idea. I've had a few disagreement with my bf's mom. I try to remain calm an watch what I say in return, and she calms down later after thinking it over. She rehashes years old stuff & makes herself miserable. My mom gave me advise that stuck with me. "Only one person at a time shouild make a fool of themselves." :)
Have a blessed day all. Carol

lost my post HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! will be back. pat

:wave: Hi, Deb. Welcome back. Glad that you had a good time in Texas. Thanks for the encouragement. I'll get back on track eventually because I feel the weight I put back on and it doesn't feel good. :(

Hi, Pat, sorry you lost your post. Happy New Year to you, too.

Hi everyone!
I was on the board a little last year and have been MIA for a long time-
so in essence I am a newbie.
Just wanted to say Hi and I am going to try to start posting with you guys!

Hi, Crime Girl, welcome to the thread. Well, where is everybody? :?: I need some motivation. Probably we all do. I didn't dare get on the scale last weekend. Decided to wait until I'd had a week back OP before I ventured there. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get back on the wagon today. I had better do it soon because my blood sugar is going up. Hope you all start posting soon. Happy New Year.

Hi everyone.. sorry i havent posted..ive been a really bad girl..but today was reality check day..back to curves(and boy am i sore-had to start all over) and back to counting ww pts and eating sensibly..i really gave my self permission to eat whatever and how much i wanted for the last 2 weeks and i have to admit it was fun but alot of the time i didnt feel the best..higher sugars and tired and sluggish..the neat thing is we all get a new chance, anew beginning everyday that we get up..we just have to beleave in our selves..i was heading in the wrong direction and i put on the brakes today..so how about all of you..new beginings for us all..((((((((hugs))))))) rosey:wave:

Hey gals glad to be back. Well the 2 week vacation was just what the doctor ordered. I'm feeling like a new me. Need all the R&R after working like a fool. But like everyone else I was not as good at staying OP the last 2 weeks. But it's a new year and the holidays are over. Time to get back to work.
I will also be avoiding the scale this week and working more on how I feel and getting the numbers back in check. Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year.
Deb :twirly:

Hi, Deb and Rosey. I'm still having trouble getting back on program. Besides the post holiday blahs, work has been slow which gives me a lot of time to think about things that make me anxious and send me for comfort food. :eating2: Hopefully by the end of this week I'll have gotten over this. Sigh.

Big hugs to everyone who is struggling and those who have managed to stay away from all that yummy food!!

I have lost 1.5kg (3.3 pounds) in the past 1.5 weeks. Not easy but since I started healthysnacking it has become much much easier - on my hubby as well as me :D :lol:

Morning :coffee: Well today I got the real wakeup call. Tested at 205 first thing this morning. :nono: I almost dropped my glasses. I've been in a state of denial, well that is gone with the reading. this weekend is a new plan of attack. :sp:

My vision has been all over the place. And now I'm sure I know why. My grandmother went blind from diabetis. I'm not wanting to follow in her footsteps on that. :fr:

Open for any tips the restart is really hard. I think I was suffuering a case of the fat head. :(
Deb

PS tomorrow I'm going to start us on a clean thread, this one is getting awfully long. :)
