Hello ladies,
Wow, quiet this weekend. How was everyone's holiday? Ours was good. It was down at mom & dad's and the weather was beautiful. So, lots of outside activities to get everyone out of the house. I got to ride Ginger again even if she threw a big fit and was trying to act bad. Scare tactics. Almost worked but I made myself follow through and ride.
Then there is the mechanical variety of things to ride - the Kawasaki Mule and our Yamaha Vino. The mule is a two seater ATV and our Vino is a one person mo-ped. Was great until one of my nephews was jacking around on the Vino and crashed it. Did about $250 damage. We finished the day off with target practice! Nothing like a redneck Thanksgiving!!
I was just glad to be outside and away from the food.
I'm sure I blew myself out of the water with food. I didn't eat breakfast and there were hot sausage bread, tortilla rollups, hot artichoke crab dip and this was before dinner at 1:30!!! I couldn't even eat everything on my plate so no seconds for me. I did eat pumpkin pie and pecan pie before heading home. The only leftovers I brought home were our pumpkin pie and a strawberry pretzel dessert. However, we've had a couple of days of too much food here at home. Tomorrow is meatloaf and scalloped potatoes over at the MILs. I keep telling myself ....small portions, small portions, small portions.
My 25th high school class reunion is currently being planned for Labor Day weekend 2003. I absolutely do not want to go at this weight. I went to the 15th at around 250 and had a great time. I told DH I want to lose 40 pounds before then. I need a goal or something to commit to; this isn't for them. Its for me.
Emeril is a bad influence!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sitting here watching him on the FoodTV channel. Geez, he's doing ice cream stuff that looks wonderful. Thank goodness there is no ice cream in the house.
I did work most of the day on getting the outside lights out and other Christmas decorations in place. I've still got some stuff to do but today I have been trying to get back in storage what I'm not going to use. Trying to keep the house from getting out of control. Also, keeps me from hanging out at the fridge.
Chillin - Snowboarding!!! I'm impressed! Sounds like a great time. I love Colorado. I don't ski (something about careening down a mountain out of control scares me!
) but love the mountains.
Jen - How was the window shopping?? I refused to go anywhere near a store yesterday. Black Friday definitely isn't for anyone faint of heart!
Anyone follow the flylady? I've been doing some of it for a couple of weeks now. I kinda like it. I need to go do 15 minutes of pickup here in the rec room.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
