I'm back and we ate so much!!! I just feel stuffed....I really did try to eat the best I could and only had ice cream one time. But we did eat much more food than normal, especially at breakfast. Did a lot of walking so maybe that will help....not doing the WI probably until after Christmas.

Saw the best movie, The Family Stone....if anyone gets a chance it's a must see. It's really a very good adult movie, kids would be bored. Try and catch it.

The weather wasn't the best so we didn't do SeaWorld but there are tons of things to do and see in Orlando, like the outlet malls!!!!!! They have the best stores in them....but I was good didn't spend too much as most of my shopping was finished.

This will be a hard week to stay OP ladies but lets do the best we can, I really want to get back to drinking all my water......actually missed it.

Have a great week, I am checking out an exercise place (like Curves) this week and my dh will get me a membership for Christmas if I think I will like it.

Ho Ho Ho, Phyllis

It is a hard time of year to eat wisely!!! At work we just got in this huge cake with dark chocolate bark and thick chocolate mousse between layers of white cake. topped with strawberries and rasberries! forget will power and succumb to temptation!!! sorry! Next week I promise to be better!!!

Hi everyone,

Phyllis -- sounds like you had a great time!

Dani -- I am with you -- my eating is a bit off now. Not horrible but not 100%.

This week I will be really busy running around, going to parties, etc, etc. I might not get to check in very much but I will try to as much as possible. If you don't hear from me that is why. My exercise is on hold for a while but I will keep the eating in check as much as I can.

If I don't get the chance to say it....happy holidays, everyone!!!!!!! Lets try to get throught this as best we can!!! Then, NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

Anita

Yes, Anita it is a busy time....and I too should say

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

So I am off to bake the dreaded cookies I'll try not to eat too many

Have one or two more stores to go and try to find a last minute gift at least I don't have to wade thru snow Seems I bought out the grocery store yesterday. Ha Ha

Try to stay out of all those cookies and candy ladies.

Ok, I finished school! I think my finals went well. I've just spent the last few days getting ready for next Sunday. Good news is amoungst my finals I was able to lose 4 pounds . I was so excitedm, but I haven't been doing so well with eating on time and within my calorie limits. I've been letting my decreased apitite guide me. Well back on the ban wagon. Todays dinner is taco saled! A bit more calories than I should be eating but I think I'm ok. Starting new in the morning!

Wow Sky 4 lbs is GREAT

I hope you did well on the finals Sky, bet you did....good luck.

Shopping is all finished here and now I am getting a cold!!! Yuck All any of us need this time of year. If it warms up I'll sit in the sun this afternoon and get my Vit C.!!

No big plans today, just finish wrapping and giving out small gifts to friends, finishing up the cookies. I am fixing a good size roast with carrots and potatoes in the crockpot so the next two days dinner will be made, 2nd night I always make beef stew with the left overs.....those are two easy meals for the JC plan.

Counting today only 3 MORE SHOPPING DAYS!!!!!!

Ho Ho Ho, Phyllis

AAAAAAGH! I miss you all! My company got here Wed. morning and I haven;t had a chance to catch my breath but it's going great anyway! Everybody is getting settled in and I should actually have a chance tomorrow to sit down and catch up on posts and get ya'll up to date here.
I am SO tired so I'm off to bed but I'll hopefully be able to get back.
It has been going well OP. I saw 199 on the scale this morning and am hoping that show for wi on Sunday
Chat soon!

Donna that is sooooo awesome!!!! I am up 2 pounds as of yesterday, I didn't have the guts to check today. Hopefully WI will only be STS. That would be good. My trainer hasn't really been kicking my butt at all. It been nice. I have been sore. So that is all good.

My dad and step mom and sis are coming to spend Christmas Eve with us so I have been busy cleaning and preping.

I need to go DH needs to talk about plans tonight. More christmas exchanges with his family.

Good luck all with WI.
