    Hello all.....

    This morning dawns very, very cold. Very much what we are not accustomed.
    Places on my face, legs and arms are getting chapped so the creams are a must.


    Girlfriend's mom's funeral was superb. Most of it had been planned by her mom and it was truly lovely, comforting and heartfelt. Then at the end, her son, spoke for a few minutes and he too was awesome. He gives presentations as part of his job and this speech must have been one of his best.

    Today, I am going into the office and expect to be alone w/ the candy dishes.
    So, if know one minds, I am taking ALL the Willpower Dust with me. I promise to bring it back tonight but honestly, I NEED IT......
    I am at 30 days w/o sugar today but the Sugar Voice was very loud yesterday so I know I need a Team today.

    It will be a SPECIAL SATURDAY SUGAR RUMBLE for me.
    I am bringing my weapons, good breakfast, tasty snacks, lots of music, tea and stair climbing too.....

    Hugs to all.... WSW.... cold weather is going to ease up soon this way, hoping the same in your kingdom too.... You always inspire!

    So, you're all coming w/ me today.
    I need a ROYAL Force to "have my back".....



    ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE??

    WOW KAY! 30 days! You are doing great! I will send vibes eastward all day to shore you up!

    I have to work today and then travel 2 hours to a party....long day, long way. SO this will be short. I need to plan what to bring!

    Have a great day ladies!

    Bringing the willpower dust back to the castle. Thanks, at one point I was only steps away.... and was able to turn myself around....
    Then later, near the end of the day, I knew I was on the precarious edge again and said "TIME TO GO HOME!"......
    So I managed to get beyond that day and am beginning this one.

    I am overindulging a little on yogurt but am going to start monitoring ALL intake more closely.

    Ceara...... how did the party fare? 2 hrs can be a long ride.....

    Anagram...glad to hear sil is up to being released. Good news is always a plus ....

    WSW.... Sending warmer thoughts your way!


    Off to run some errands!


    Kaye

    Congrats on another successful day to add to your streak, Kaylets. I crashed a bit last night. Once again, exercise was in stores but now I'm in pretty good shape in that part of preparations.

    Good job Kaye. Cut your temptations and flee! My strategy too!

    Trip was good. I overdid it on the grapes, but there was a chocolate fountain there. OMG. That took a great deal of Glad you'd brought it back Kaye!

    I'm just going to log in what I think I ate....estimates. I followed my 2 bite rule on the pasta salads (2) and the scalloped potatoes....the rest was veggies and fruit. Actually quite a healthy spread. Oh yes, shrimp too....cheese dip....argh! I had 800-900 calories to play with so I think I'm OK........

    OK, church and then another one! But I feel stronger after the first.

    Anagram...walking is walking no matter where. As much as I hate shopping, doing it in a mall sounds a lot warmer than on the road right now!

    Okay, this is one of those days when it seems all the cosmic forces are joined against me. Paranoid, you say? Probably. But I'm tucking me in for the night and hiding in my "Santa" Room to wrap gifts. Too hectic, too hectic. Gnash, gnash. The good thing is that SO FAR my eating has been SO good. Another reason to wrap myself away somewhere.

    I'm hoping all your vibes are calmer. Mine are going to be good tomorrow. I know it. I declare it. I imperially demand it. Sheesh!!!!!!!

    Well I'm off for 3 hours to be "trained' Something to do with harrassment in the workplace. I doubt from a managerial point of origin. I could just use the time to veg out. Oh well...$.

    So gotta run. Hope all is weel and the cosmic forces blow in a different direction Anagram.

    Arabella, wsw, Flower, Kaylets...how do you fare?

    Just a fly-by -- hope to get in for a real post soon. We got back Sunday night. I was struck by some kind of violent virus Wednesday night, in advance of the 4 a.m. wake-up for 6 o'clock flight. I haven't been so ill since I was a kid (Kaylets, I see we're parallelling here again -- hope you're feeling better!). I managed to get through all the funeral stuff okay, but am still not really well. And, of course, backed up at work. And prepping for DH's birthday party on Saturday. Good news is I haven't been hungry.

    Sorry to be all me-me-me! Love to all...

    Hello all.....

    Hope everyone is doing well....


    Although I still am Technically Sugar Free, I almost had an emergency when I realized the Caffeine Free Root Beer Soda wasnt sugar free. I did have a few gulps but threw the remiander away as soon as I realized. Now that I think about it, since it didnt create a sugar binge, I wonder if the soda was sugarfree.....

    Anyway....

    In my mind, it was a secret attack and I survived.

    I have to do a day recount. I lost track. They say that's when you are well on your way when that happens....

    I have learned for sure that as much as when I'm stressed, when I'm getting tired I hear the Sugar Monster too.....

    WoodNymph... Hope you're feeling better.... I only had a little touch of whatever it is out there but I know folks who were really knocked flat w/ the flu.


    Sorrry so short...

    Take care all!~

    Get better Arabella! Vitamins. Tea. Rest. Hope all went as well as it could in TO. Take care of you and DH for a bit!

    Good work on the sugar sneak attack Kaye....labelling is a mystery sometimes!

    I am volunteering at the church office this am, so I want to go for a quick walk as soon as there is a little light. I'd rather not get squished by a school bus I haven't walked since Saturday. No opportunity.

    The two dreaded parties are done thank goodness. I handled them well, but had an ice cream attack here afterwards...fortunately light and only 1.5 cups but still! I think it was delayed stress syndrome. I held off until there weren't any cheesecakes and pies around...just ice cream. A backwards victory of sorts. I don't have a lot of sweet stuff here....and couldn't grow into a full-blown binge unless I shopped after 9pm on an Sunday night in a cornfield? Guess I planned that non-cognitively. 20/20 vision etc.

    OK ladies....find your way back and say
    Gotta get goin'

    Good Morning Girls...........mind if I rumble with you?
    I could have used your "Will Power Dust" over Thanksgiving as I didn't do very well. I got off my journal and plan the day before Thanksgiving and didn't get back on it until December 11th. That's when I re-joined the 3 FC site after being gone for months and months. I've dropped 2.5 pounds since Monday, but that's usually just water weight. Do you girls have set goals on how much you want to lose each week? I'm very impatient and weigh myself everyday and document it on a chart. It's a graph chart set up with my fattest weight at the top and descending weigh going down. I post it on my refrigerator and it's a great reminder of where I've been weight wise and the direction I am, should, or could be going.

    My old, old Nordic Track Ski machine is calling me. Help! I need ear plugs so I don't hear it.
    I hate exercising so I only spend 10 minutes a day on it. But I go like a streaking meteor once I get on it to make up for the short time spent. What do you all do for exercise?

    Bobbi
