So True, LOL. I've done well today, it's snowing outside so I am in good spirits, LOL. It doesnt snow here like it used to when I was younger so I REALLY appreciate it when we do see a little of the white stuff. Its just enough to cover the grass, but none on the roads, PERFECT!

Cara: Congrats on the smaller pants How great that must feel!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Remember 1 day of indulgence wont kill you, be mindful, but enjoy the foods of the season

Well said!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Sliimmin Sahmmies!!!!!

I plan on taking a break tomorrow from the computer (yeah right), so I wish you all a Happy Turkey Day as well!

And good luck to your favorite football team if they're playing tomorrow.

Alisha - EW!! Yep, we are the pros - I can handle anything with ease except the yacking!! No, not so fabulous am I then! Can you tell I watched the Star Wars movie? I start channeling Yoda everytime!!!!



I am thankful for family & their love!! I am also thankful for friends, my friends here at Slimmin Sahmmies!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Ladies!

I really feel stuffed, LOL. The wierd thing is, though, that I actually didnt eat that much. I had like 3-4 small bites of everything (except the cheese laden baked macaroni, lol, which I managed to avoid all together) and I only had a small piece of cherry cheesecake for dessert. And to think that I have to do it again tomorrow...BLAH, lol.

I hope you all are enjoying the holiday today, and if heading out for the early bird sales tomorrow, be careful, lol. Personally, I wont be caught dead in a store until monday morning, LOL. Too Crowded!

Anyways, I have some things to do around the house (maybe work off some of the extra cals I took in today, LOL) So I'll check in w/ y'all tomorrow.

I didn't do too bad!!! I am exercising after hubby goes to work tonight!!! Hope all had a great day!

I haven't weighed yet this morning and don't want to either.

I've been pretty dang good this week and I think most of what I lost last week is back. I did splurge yesterday, but I didn't do too awful. I was never uncomfortably full.

cara, congrats on the smaller jeans

Alisha, I hope your son feels better

Happy Black Friday everyone.

Good evening, ladies! I decided to take The Sir to our house in TN today instead of waiting until tomorrow and wasting a day that we could be spending with my hubby. Took care of the cats, left a note for the lady that checks on them during the week, then came right home. For Thanksgiving, I had seconds, but I really didn't eat too badly. My downfall was the 4 or 5 glasses of wine I drank. I've drank very little alcohol since my son was born (and of course none during my pregnancy), and this was the first time I just went ahead and drank as much as I used to. I know it's got tons of calories or fat or something, so I'm not looking forward to the scale tomorrow.

Our friends (whose house we were at) don't have weight problems (at least, they don't look like it). But they had so much candy and chocolate and fattening stuff all over the place. Also, they talked about the foods they normally like, how they like to cook, etc. and it makes me wonder how they look like they do! We've really cleaned up our act, so to speak; it's amazing to me that my house used to have all that junk food, too, but now it's a pretty healthy place to be. I guess I've come a lot farther than I thought.

Hey ladies lets start a New Years goal slimmin sahmmies...cause this board is getting long, what do you think? Or SLIMMIN SAHMMIES with goals...something like that, if not its cool...just a thought...Take care

Alisha

Did anyone end up on the scale today? I did and I gained two pounds!!! I am not giving up hope that it is yet another scale fluke!! I will recheck tom. in the am!!!

Mode - Alisha is right don't stress & don't give up. Keep going and see where you are at this Sat.!! We can do it!!

Cindy - Good, you enjoyed some wine! I did too. I am not going to think twice about it. It;s been so long since I've had some.

Amanda - looks like you did great!!!

Hey Ladies! I did the unthinkable and shopped for Christmas presents all day! The crowds at the mall I went to weren't all that bad, surprisingly. We got all our shopping done except for a few stocking stuffers for the kids. We have to get our stuff done early because everyone we know is in another state and we either send their presents or visit them well before Christmas (i.e., next weekend!).

Alisha: We're in McMinnville TN. It's about an hour from Nashville, on the other side of Murfreesboro. I really like Nashville, always have, but the town we were in was just a little too rural for my tastes. It's a cute town, and I LOVE our house, but it's just not for us.

Yes, I'm fine with us starting a new thread. I'm also fine with us keeping the old one. I'll just go along with the crowd on this one!

Carafre: You did the same thing I did, gain 2 pounds. And you didn't update your tracker either, bad girl! (Neither did I!) That's okay, we'll do better next week. I don't mind if we gain a few before the holidays are over, or stay the same, just let's not gain 2 pounds every week, okay? I tend to give in and say "What the heck, it's the holidays" every year, but I'm going to try and be a little more reserved this year.

Julie: Hello! Did you weigh yet? C'mon, don't be scared! At least 2 of us have gained this week but we're vowing to do better, so what's the worst that you could have done? I double-dog-dare you to weigh!

Okay, I'm off to check the other threads and my emails. Talk to you ladies tomorrow!
