Hello everyone,
Nothing like a little pre-holiday madness out shopping to get one into the spirit of things
I just got back from the grocery store and it is a MADHOUSE! I got the bare minimum and got out ASAP. While there I noticed that Celestial Seasonings tea has three new flavors for the holidays, Sugar Plum Spice, Gingerbread Spice and Nutcraker Sweet. Since the commissary rarely gets too much variety, and I wasn't very pleased with the last couple tea flavors I got from the German store, I picked up all three. I'm drinking the Gingerbread flavor right now and it is GOOD!
I hope the other two measure up. It is a simple pleasure that sure hits the spot. Yum.
Mamacita, I know what you mean about the crowds, esp. the weekend before Thanksgiving. Thats one reason I refuse to go to Wallyworld on a Saturday - ever!
Ruth, I'm sure Lucy thought she had created a perfectly comfortable nest and why did you take it away? Life with a dog is entertaining, plus more! You just have to laugh. We got a new sofa and when DH is stretched out on it our dog can't get up there with him like he used to on the old one, so he skulks over to his dogbed. A dog on a dogbed - Shock, horror
Bamie - 50 tress?!?! I sure hope you and DH have a leaf blower.
Summerlover - welcome to the beach.
It sounds like you are doing swimmingly! Pop in anytime and compare notes, and let us hear about your progress. It's very inspirational for us all.
DonnaD - You've done well losing 6 -8 lbs already. That provides some good motivation, right? Have you tried having a hot tea when you get home from work? or creating a different routine in the evenings so you can learn new good habits? (ie - staying busy after the evening meal, such as cleaning, scrapbooking, crafts, surfing the net, etc.) There has to be some veggies that you like. Try to remember 'you are what you eat' and you want to be healthy. The tacos, potato skins, fried, processed and junk foods can offer you nothing but empty calories. You should go ahead and begin phase 2 and incorporate OP things that you like. You can do it. Its all for you.
LC - good luck with all your goings on!
Have a good weekend ya'll.
