oooooh Ivy looking good! Congratulations! All your hard work is paying off!!
Tell your son we are cheering for him! My husband and one of my sons was on a westling team at school.

Suz, I didn't realize Pepsi bought Quaker Oats. I use both products and I'm sure I help keep them in business! Ha ha
What kind of testing? Taste testing? tee hee hee? I would love that job!

Well, my son is preaching tomorrow. He is my youngest. The 17 year old. He's turning into a good preacher. My oldest son is 26 years old and is the Associate pastor at our church. I was happy when my oldest son was called to preach but now my youngest also feels he's been called to preach. Its nice having 2 preachers in the family. We can get into some pretty good discussions.

Well, got to run.

Hi Everyone
Kiwi yes I do have to do taste testing but also chemical testing on the products there is also a bake shop in the lab so you have to try to resist the temptation It is difficult when they are baking brownies all day or night
my DH is a retired pastor but still involved a lot he does services at 2 nursing homes and helps with sometimes with the services at the church He is also on the church board
I am at work again so I better go

Hi everyone

Suz I could never keep my weight under control if I worked there! I mean really, Get paid to taste brownies!!

Hey, I got to church today and had several people tell me that jake my 17 year old was in the paper. He was voted one of top students in Bay county by the Optimist club. I was so proud of him. My daughter works for the paper and she didn't even notice. Anyway, they wrote a little article about him naming his awards he has earned and all the stuff he does for the community and school and what he is planning after graduation. I got a letter from his Principle Saturday saying how proud she was of him and how he stood out among his peers and made her school look good but I didn't really "get it" untill I got the paper. Can you tell I'm a proud mom. (tee hee hee )

I was not good today. We ate pizza for lunch and then when i got home I had a pecan pie that was calling my name! (several times )
I don't even want to step on the scales.

Kiwi

i was sick most of the day yesterday. But I feel better. My scales aren't looking good. Looks like i'm retaining water today. I'm suppose to meet a friend for lunch today even though I'm not feeling super but I'll eat light.

Hope everyone has a good day

Write later

So I'm off to get the house in a festive mood for tomorrow. Catch ya later


Kiwi

I wish everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and spent lots of time with those they love. I had a grate time with my family and I did try to keep myself in control as not to eat apple pie and pumpkin pie. Well have not weighed in due to tom so will post any weight loss as soon as I can.
I'm sick in the stomach now got to go............

I hope you get to feeling better soon Ivy.

Yesterday was a wonderful day!

Had a great time yesterday with family. Place looks festive. The kids stringed popcorn for the first time. I enjoyed that. Actually, my grown kids were pretty into it also.

Back to the weight loss! Did good but I could do better and I still need to lose 4 pounds this month.


Kiwi

Good Morning,
I'm so excited about Christmas. I don't even know why. I feel like a kid. I think I want a kitten for Christmas. The younger the better and I want it to be a Tabby. I also want to take up violin lessons. I don't know why I want try and play the fiddle. I just thought it would be interesting. No one plays the fiddle in my house. We have piano's and Guitars and drums. We need a fiddle player. ha ha ha

I'm doing good keeping my weight under control. I haven't gained and I have lost some ounces. So I'm proud of myself. I don't think I'm going to lose 4 pounds by tomorrow. Bummer, I was doing really good this month to lose the whole 10 pounds but I did lose more than I would have if I had chose not to be accountable to all of you.


Kiwi

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!

I have missed you all.....

I was put on a different job while someone was out on sick leave and I had to do my job and their job It was horrible..I was so so stressed .

I am happy to say that she is back on her own job manning the phones and I am completely happy at my own desk with my own computer and all my own things...

How has everyone been? Well I hope... allthe newbies...I am Danni Marie, I went MIA when i was reigning queen and the rest of bunch was my court jesters...
Kiwi congrats on becoming Queen
Who is this weeks ?

I am still on track with exercise and diet...I have lost a total of 21 lbs. so far I am off to change my tracker...and go to lunch...hope to chat with you all and get caught up soon...

love
Danni

I got on last night about 12:30 am and left a message. I must have X'd out without saving it because its not here now. Weird. Anyway, let me see if I remember it.

Hi Danni, great to hear from you. We stopped doing the challenge. People were getting bored. Its not fun being Queen when you are the only one writting in. It happens. Anyway if anyone has a new challenge they would like to suggest for the holidays to get people motivated that would be great.

Ivy and I hung in there. Actually, Ivy is looking great these days. I'll be glad when I can say that about me. Congrats on your weight loss.


Kiwi

Hi Kiwi

Too bad about the challenge...I thought it was fun, but I understand this is a very busy time for people. Maybe for the New Year we can maybe start up again, I know that for about the last 14 years I have said come Jan. 2nd I am on a diet and by Jan. 10 I was done

It is cold up here we had a wonderful Indian summer this past week, but old man winter is here!! We have no snow yet where I live but it is suppose to be coming making the home commute a total mess on the roads. The temp. had droppped significantly and I wish I was south

I am all done with my Christmas shopping, and I have to stop by UPS to send off my gifts to my neices and nephew in sunny FL whew that is a load off..

I hope I remembered my snow scrapper in my car today, looks like ICE is forming on the windows...arghh...

Have a great weekend everyone, hope everyone eats "healthy" I have to find a different exercise routine now that the snow is here...yuck...
maybe I'll dance...

Have a great weekend everyone....
Danni

Ooooh I long for snow. If only for a brief moment! I live in Fl. so right now its hot! Shorts and sleeveless shirt hot! Although last night it did rain some.

I still have Christmas shopping to do but I bought the big stuff the day after Thanksgiving.

I turn 50 next year and my goal from the beginning was to be into a size 8 or 9 by the time by birthday came. I figured out last night that if I lose 6 pounds a month until my birthday I will be down to my goal weight! I think that is pretty doable! Of course I would like to lose it a lot quicker but the most important thing is to just get it off!

Kiwi

HI Girls,
Hope everyone is doing grate I am completely 100% in good health Thank God I was pretty sick cold,stomach well enough I'm good and healthy now.
