Well, this week I lost 7 pounds!!!! Increased my work-outs from 30 minutes to 45-60 minutes and watched what I ate. Ahhh...it feels soooo good. Anyway, this weekend is Christmas and am I worried? maybe just a bit but I know that I'll make good choices.

I do the happy dance for you I am thinking about the christmas holiday to Sunday is my weigh day and that one going to be a hard one Keep thinking good things

Leigh

Hello!

Shawna, 7 lbs in a week is unbelievable! I'm jealous Way to go..I have no doubt at all that you'll do great thru Christmas. You've got some real motivation going on! Hope it rubs off on me!

Went shopping a little today and still have to go back tomorrow. Does it ever end? Guess by Sunday it will have to huh? There are a few people that I'm just stuck with no ideas for. I hate that. I dont like getting something just to get it..I like getting just the right thing. Somehow I've let time slip up and I"m down to the wire to get this done.

I have a decision I have to make soon concerning work. Kinda stressed out about it. I've been offered a new position that is more money and benefits etc than my position now (and lots more responsibility), but I LOVE where I am. I dont know if it's worth the money. What if I dont like it? But what if I pass it up and I would have loved it just as much PLUS had more money? I really dont know what to do and they wanted to know by Friday.

Well, think I'm going to take a short nap. Luke, my 13 yr old, has to have another Sleep Study done tonight at the hospital which means I have to stay there with him. They dont have the most comfortable sleeping arrangements for those who are not the patients. Last time, it wasnt even a cot so I could lay down. It was sorta like a recliner except it didnt really go back much, just the foot thing came up so you could at least stretch your legs out. Not looking forward to that

Talk to everyone again soon. Take care!

Miki

Hello Everyone!!! It's been 1 week since I last checked in. I had off from work Friday thru Monday but then I have been really sick so today (Thursday) was my first day back at work. I have bronchitis, so I havent really felt up to exercising, but I havent been eating much either. My boyfriend is home now too... I never realized how much I love having him around... I just love him so much, and I am going to be really sad when he has to go back for good. Well I just wanted to check in and say hi... talk to you all later! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!

Hi all,

I'm going to make this short and sweet it's only 9pm and I'm beat. I did my 3-mile watp which I havent done in a long time. I thought I would be feeling more energetic since I have been working out almost everyday but I am still tired a lot. I know I should be eating better, more whole grains and veggies. I have been eating alot of fruit though, we have a large fruit basket at the house right now.

Allison, nice to hear from you. Sorry to hear you are ill but I'm glad you are enjoying your time with your boyfriend.

MJ

Hi all

Well, the sleep study wasnt so great. Luke had a stopped up nose but they insisted that he had to breathe only through his nose for this machine to work. They tried a strap under his chin to help keep his mouth closed. Around 10:45, I had to run to Walmart to get him some nose spray. (The sleep clinic isnt allowed to dispense meds even tho it's in the hospital) We were pretty much up most of the night. The few times I drifted off, Luke would wake me up to ask what time it was. He couldnt sleep and didnt think I should either evidently. Finally around 3 he got adjusted to everything, but they woke us up to go home at 5. (oh and again there was no cot..I had a stupid chair that was wide enough I could kinda curl up in but no way I could lay down) I went to bed around 5:30 when I got home, then got up at 8 to once again go shopping. Normally I can shop all day, 12 hrs even, but today I was exhausted. By 2:00 I thought I couldnt walk another step. It's almost 9 and like Emjay, I'm totally beat. Going to head to bed very soon. Honestly, not trying to sound like Scrooge, but it will be nice to get the holidays over with and be back in a normal routine.

Allison, hope you get to feeling better quickly. No fun to have your boyfriend home and be sick. Dont worry, we wont hold it against you if you cant find time to post while he's home.

Lots of southerners around here huh? Arkansas here. Southern food is definitely not the best for diets..lol

Well folks, I am outta here. Hope to get lots of rest tonight.

Bye for now
Miki

Hello all.

Just checking in to say Hi! before the holidays. Not sure I will get any time later. Tonight was Jim's b-day, so I took him out to a fancy restaurant. Tomorrow is a family gathering, next night..a family gathering...next night...a family gathering. My shopping is all done, but still have some baking to do.

So, I hope to stop in even briefly before Christmas, but if I don't, Merry Christmas to all!

Miki...you are not a scrooge. I am looking forward to returning to the normal routines of life as well.

Talk to you all later!

Are those things still available? When does the christmas tree get to leave again? and Who made the rule that you got to go shopping every day? (I need to have a talk with that person)

I just want to say I hope all of yall have a great holidays and hope to talk to every one soon hugssssssssssss
