I am down sizing my possessions. I soooo wish I could get rid of my "fat" clothes. I have soooo many cute things in the 18 size. I am in a 22 right now. I can get into a 20, but after I eat it is so not comfy, hate anything not comfortable. I need to stay on track or I might as well get rid of the skinny stuff! I can not keep everything if we do move across country. (in NV now, thinking of Florida)
Why is this so hard to do? Wonder where my jump rope is..... Maybe I could pick up a hoola hoop. Sure hubby could burn some calories laughing at me. :) |
Hello all!
Welcome Bobbi! Tell us some more about yourself! Flower....that's a good point, calories burned by laughter are really the best kind.... maybe we should figure out how to have a laugh a day too.... I too let life get in the way and need to get back to climbing the stairs.... Seems as soon as I stop the extra steps, extra movement, the Sugar Monster starts getting louder and louder..... BUT so far, I remain sugarless...... Speaking of laughter, even if this seems really silly to you, make sure you don't miss the chance to see the new Laughing Elmo..... A coworker brought one in after purchasing one for her child during lunch. Its amazing how it can throw itself on the floor, get back up and be laughing the whole time. I love Elmo anyway but this toy is really fun. Okay... hope everyone is doing well. Very, very foggy here so I am off.... ************** Thought of the day is a classic but good for Friday.... "Today is the day!" Question of the day : "Whats your best guess at how far you walk each day?" ****************** |
Yes, I got a pleasant surprise yesterday when I snuck up on the scale...now today it is wavering....I tell you that thing is possessed. However.
I am off for a walk shortly....and then out to the Friday brekkie with the parentals...although it may just be mom, friend and me...all female. Which will be fine! Good work on the sugarless streak Kaye! I'm not, but I'm very careful to log everything and not to exceed the calorie range (too much... some days :lol:) Bobbi...they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I :dunno: about that but I feel not so hungry when I wake up, but better after I eat. Eh, what do I know? I eat 2-3 hundred calories at brekkie :hohoho: How's the cosmos treating you Anagram? And Arabella...how be thee? Hi Flower...I guess the trick is to let a healthier lifestyle and choices be your life and not be an intrusion into what you think is normal It has to become normal for you. At one of my recent training sessions, I took a torilla with 1 T of peanut butter and a peeled banana all rolled up...easy, 300 cals approx. One of my co-workers said "Hey what have you got there. Figures, you always eat so healthy." I've worked in her branch and she sees what I bring to eat there and at training. There is always cake or something sweet, which I just don't eat. So you need to decide how you will be "normal" and just do it. Your kids will follow along....believe me! OK...off the :soap: and onto the road! :shocksn: :coolsnow: :present: |
Welcome, Bobbolink - hi there, Flower. ceara, your pb/banana tortilla sounds delicious - on rye, that's about my fave sandwich so must try the tortilla thing. Kaye, the Sugarless - that's just amazine.
Cosmos improving, worthy ceara. It's not Christmas stuff - just life stuff. Today eased a bit when DD said she had made a mistake on the date of a party for which I was going to head down to babysit. Am going tomorrow though to watch Ten perform in a Nutcracker. Tomorrow's also DDs birthday so a twofur. Coming back Sunday. Lunch w/friend today but a place where I can get salmon or something healthy. I have called a halt to decorating but I'm right about where I wanted to be putting out only a few really special to me things. Maybe more next year. Had a wrap marathon last night so in good shape there too :hohoho: Got a walk in late afternoon yesterday, a shorter one the day before. I'm becoming very dependent on my little walkies (hurray) since our weather has been mostly delightful for this time of year and I know it won't last. Skipping tai chi today though because I just can't figure it all out but it'll be a good day for a walk again later. Good news is there'll be another class added in the New Year. So I could if I wanted go to tai chi every day (albeit spread over 3 different locations) just as I can also go to the pool (if I ever get back) every day so it will all be a matter of the schedule of the day in 2007. Dear BIL has been continuing with tests. On Monday gets stomach tube for feeding. Probably going to do radiation/chemo before surgery. Sis recovering but more slowly, I think, than she had anticipated. Food decent, I know I could do better but not being really strict with me, just working on "improvements". Still a bit gray but I must be up and at 'em and get a little more order in my life before I leave for lunch as I plan a few other things after that that will keep me from playing housewife (not really complaining about that). :wreath: :wreath: :wreath: :ginger: |
I got in a walk yesterday. Helped my food intake all day. Bed time snack was lt popcorn. I was feeling bad but decided to clean my closet and that kept me on the right track!
I am mad at hubby right now. He stayed out too late with his friend and now my whole schedule is off. We were suppose to go Xmas shopping today. But with him barely having sleep and me mad, it might be best to put it off til Monday. Instead I am going to clean my desk and book shelf today. Finish up the dishes and the laundry. Maybe I will stumble across my jump rope I put away somewhere! |
Hello all.....
Just a quickie to say hello.. Re Breakfast.... although it does seem to wake up my appetite, if I don't have a good breakfast, I MORE than make up for it later .... and often with food I wouldve never eaten ...... I also find I need a bigger breakfast than supper..... go figure.... Whatever works is what I say.... I'm off to work! |
I'm doing my best to avoid the paying work today...I have a full schedule with the volunteer stuff!.
Hope to get the furniture back into the living room and decorate. The floor looks really nice. However, because there is not any carpet or furniture, it sounds like an ampitheatre in there! Very hollow! Of course part of putting stuff back will be the sorting, and tossing....yep I've been decluttering. First calorie counting and now decluttering! You guys are really influencing me! OK...gotta go! :mrsclaus: :tree: :santa: |
Getting to know you!
Good Morning Girls...
I snooped through some of your bio's just now, wanted to get to know you all better. I see there's an ex-teacher in the bunch, better keep my dictionary handy, teehee! Speaking of you Ceara, I see you show dogs. Oh what fun, my DH and I love watching the dog show every year. Do you show dogs there? Anagram...I know what you mean about 1 binge putting your weight back on. I stopped coming to the 3FF many months ago because of a binge, I've just now gotten back on track. Hiss, Hiss, Boo, Boo to your DH, are you still mad at him? Flower...I see where you got your name, do you work full time at the Florist shop? Where do you find the time with 4 kids, boys/girls/ages? Don't get rid of your skinny clothes, they can be another motivator. Hang your cutest skinny outfit up where you can see it, then go look at it when you feel like eating something you shouldn't. Kayletts...You asked for my Bio, it's on public view. I'm the grandmother of this bunch (61 yrs old), my DH retired at 63 by my urging. So nice to have him home. We live out in the country and I worried about him out on icy roads, snow, blizzards, etc. Plus he vacuums up after "Charlie" our English Setter everyday, cooks a couple times a week. He does lots of outside chores that I used to do, we have 6 chickens, 1 dog, 1 cat and a zillion backyard birds that we feed year around. Charlie woke me up at 4:44 this morning and I couldn't get back to sleep. I just consumed 4 cups of coffee, now I could eat a horse. Think it's time to eat............see ya! Bobbi |
I am not currently working. Florists don't get paid enough in small towns. I do plan on going back to it once we move though. Hubby is back on the "okay" list. lol Thanks for asking. We ended up doing our shopping yesterday. Hubby was in pretty good spirits considering he had literally no sleep. My boys are 6 months, 6, 13 and 16. My 16 year old is with his aunt until summer though. He wants to go to school in CA for college and he needs to get his residentcy.
I blew my diet in the afternoon yesterday but made a low fat, healthy dinner. Think it evened out okay. I am going to start calorie counting or at least journalling again. Too easy to "forget" everything you have eatten. |
Time for a quickie!
Hola, hola chickies! Well, the days are sprinting past here as I'm sure they are there. This week hurtled! Today's DH's birthday. I'm making Lebanese food for 11 and baking a cake so don't have a lot of time but wanted to swing by to let you know I'm still around -- and still love you! :love: I've slipped a bit -- I think it was being sick that did it. Anyway, I'm rededicating myself to those behaviors that I know will save me: exercise every day, no sugar or wheat, lots of water, no eating anywhere but the table when I'm alone. There are more, but that's the basic and it really works.
K, Lovelies, must be bookin' and cookin' -- let's make this a good one! |
OK, now we can continue moving the furniture into the living room! And maybe put up a :tree:
Walked last night before the really bad food banquet. Wasn't much I could or wanted to eat there. And a bit pricey. However. I guess it was good for the food plan! Anyway...my ankle is swollen...and I cannot for the life of me think what I did...I noticed it when I was walking and by the time we got home from the party, it was quite extended. I :dunno:. I'll just keep it iced and elevated as I can! Alright...gotta go get brekkie, water the heathens...they are beating up their water bucket, sort and play I guess. Anagram...I hope that you had a great week-end with the little ones! Wsw where are you? Glad to see you Arabella. Take care everyone! :rudolph: |
hi all!
ceara-thanks for asking about me! :) physically, i have just been a mess for quite a while now. have to say, i'm getting pretty tired of it, too. had bronchitis again, and kind of worn out from that. ms technical difficulties all become worse whenever i have an infection, so not moving around too well (and doing my "frankenstein walk" a lot lately.) not a pretty picture, i must say. lol! plus, being stuck inside so much is giving me cabin fever. ok, all that said, i have had some nice visits from friends this past week, which i thoroughly enjoyed. not doing so great with the food. got a bit lax again with that, so once again heaving my royal self back on to the wagon, and small, dainty portions are what i am shooting for. please know that i am thinking of you all, even though not responding individually. will try and catch up on some of your posts today. take good care, all. |
Hello Dear Ones! Remember me? :hug: I was feeling homesick for all of you and have enjoyed reading thru the thread and catching up. It's still hard for me to get on and stay on here so I better make this quick. Just know that I'm still thinking about all of you and I'll visit soon.:xcheer:
|
All hearts come home for Christmas.
Hello my fellow Queens!
I received a Christmas card from Anagram a few days ago and it led me back to the palace. (Thanks, Anagram!) Arabella, my condolences on the loss of your MIL. Such a hard time of year to deal with such. Flower! What a surprise to see you! Hi Kaylets, ceara, wsw, Eydie, and our newest Royal, Bobbolink! Life is fairly good in the Wildfire household. Believe it or not I have become a gym rat, going 4 days a week after work. Maintaining status quo until the New Year arrives, then planning a full-out attack. Nowhere near ready for Christmas yet, busy week at work ahead, still have shopping to do...AAAACCKKK! Still keeping a journal in the land far away, but the Palace will always be home sweet home. |
Oh my, 2 of my very old friends! So good to see you Eydie and Wildfire!
I am counting calories on fitday. No real plan, but it has kept me accountable. I don't want to have a bed time snack as I am up to my limit for the day. lol We are too broke to follow any "real" diet. But I don't want that to be an excuse to over eat either. I do have to work on my excersice. It is lacking something awful! |
Hello all....
How nice to see everyone.... Wildfire... I was thinking of you and there you are.... Eydie too, wondering how you were doing w/ all the holiday foods you are surrounded by day in, day out..... Flower,... we do what we can... as long as you can honestly say you are trying .... no guilt... tomorrow we will do a little more and so on and on.... WSW.... so sorry to hear about the bronchitis.... Here's lots of big hugs and feeling better vibes.... Know we are thinking of you even when you are unable to post .... Anagram... yes, I'm wondering how the Princess (plural) vist goes as well.... If we don't get some cooler weather soon, I'll have to wear sunblock and bug spray on the 25th... Woodnymph.... YOU ARE DOING JUST FINE!! And we ALL want to hear more about the concert! Ok... I am off... working late at least tomorrow, maybe Wed too.... It may not be the best way to make a living but its much better than the last few Holidays so I am grateful..... And grateful for all you too.... Kaye |
Yeah! Made it through today. Now tomorrow's pizza party. Then nothing until Friday....then Saturday will be normal, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday not ....ack!
Glad to see some :queen: checking in. Great to see you! Where did Bobbi go now? Well as you can see I'm on late tonight...and am barely keeping the eyeballs open.....gotta go. :shocksn: :gift2: :snow4: |
Fly by - going to babysit the young 'uns next door very shortly. Hi Wildfire and Eydie - glad to hear from you and glad to have you back, flower.
Nutcracker visit was lots of fun. I got my allottment of hugs and kisses and attention. Was nice to be there for DDs birthday too even though she got precious little time to be "queen" that day. She and DSIL did get to go out to dinner to celebrate though since I was there to keep the girls. Do I notice a theme? No, I'm not going to turn pro as a babysitter ;) Will have more to say later, I'm sure. Scooting to be ready on time - don't usually go anywhere at 8:00 in the a.m. Sweet little guys but hope I can hold up for the whole morning. Anon. :gift2: :ginger: :xcheer: |
I'm having fun with those little icons...have them saved in a wordpad document...just the codes. So, I never know what little guy I'm going to get until after I post...unless I remember what the code is. Unlikely! You like 'em too Anagram!
Well, the scale is staying the same...which is good. The ankle is not swollen this am so I am going to walk. See what happens. I think the holiday frenzy is upon us! I am going to stay calm. :xcheer: :wreath: :candy: |
Yes, remain calm!
:hohoho: Oh, I love these guys too! I'll have to use LOTs of them to make up for not being around much :snowglo:
I WI'd yesterday, thinking I'd better nip any upward trend in the bud. I think I must have lost some and then regained because I was exactly where I had been , despite feeling fatter. Am getting self fortified to resist temptation. I'm fighting a head cold -- felt, last night, that I'd lost the battle but today it feels as if I still might be able to fend it off. So I'm working on that in the midst of all merry preparations :ginger: I SO don't want to be sick but there's been a cold making the rounds and things have certainly been stressful. MIL's passing has made me so much more aware of what's really important. I'm trying to support DH as best I can. :mrsclaus: It's been such a painful few months for him. He's doing so well, too, grieving but staying open instead of shutting himself off. I'm very proud of him. And the changes in him have been so good for our relationship... :love: Ceara, whooo-hoo for the maintain! Who needs that traditional 5-10+ for the season? :shocksn: Not us! Anagram, you and me both! I can get up very early and enjoy it -- but trying to shove self out of house early is very much of a trial. I think you're wise not turning pro. Much as we love our princes and princesses they can wear one out, can they not. Kaylets, we didn't actually make the concert. It was Sunday afternoon and MIL died Friday night. We just didn't have the heart for it. But there's a sing-along Messiah concert on the 28th that the choir hosts and I'm looking forward to that. And then next year, the concert will be GREAT! It does feel so much more like "home for the holidays" in the palace with our beloved Eydie and Wildfire making the trip. :clause: WSW, take great and gentle care of your own sweet self! Like Kaylets said, we always hold you in our thoughts. :hug: Flower, you've inspired me -- I'm going to start tracking again. It makes SO much difference. :yes: Bobbolink, I don't think we've officially met -- welcome, welcome! K, I must be back to work. I'm actually getting the holiday week off :cloud9: so I have stuff to do... Love to all! :xcheer: |
Big slip up today at that famous melt in your mouth donut place. I am gonna have to eat really lean dinner tonight and tomorrow to undo my dmg! At least nowadays my slip ups are just contained to less than 24 hours, instead of weeks at a time. Holiday/money stress for sure. BUT I will overcome!
|
Hi Arabella! Glad you are home and that DH is doing as well as can be expected. Good work on the WI front!
Flower...that is a big step in the right direction...recovering quicker and nipping the binge in the bud is a really good tactic. Actually recognising the behaviour is excellent also! :dust: for you! I've gotta fly....have to groom one of Mom's dogs this am, and I'm not done shopping either....or wrapping, or putting the last few ornaments on the tree, or finishing tidying the living room after the new floor,...etc,... etc,... etc,...... :santa: :tree: :mrsclaus: :hohoho: :clause: |
Ah-ah-ahhhhh-CHOOOOOOOO!
Well, I should have known that if there was ever a time that I'd come down with a cold, this would be it. :tree: I've got the cold from heck, despite all determination to fight it. Now I'm pinning my hopes on getting the worst of it over soon. This is Day 2 of full-fledged nasty and I'm thinking the first 3 days are usually the worst? Will devote self to trying to recover today: keep vaporizer and fluids going, work on laptop from the couch, try to rest and destress. Hope to be feeling more-or-less ok by the big day...
Speaking of stress, there's a financial dispute between a sister and a brother, who wants me to mediate to try to keep the situation from getting ugly. He's hard-up and needs to get some cash ASAP. I'm reluctant to go to my sister about this before Christmas.... Ugh. Flower, nice save! Those little slips can lead to days, weeks, etc. of derailment. Let us hang on by our dainty fingernails (as WSW would say). Let's sprinkle :dust: liberally around the palace. Repeat as necessary. Ceara, sounds like your preparations are pretty much at the same stage as mine. I got my tree up in time for DH's birthday last week but haven't really finished with decorating it. Must either put on the last ornaments or get the boxes the heck out of the dining room... :chin: There are a few things that still have to be done either today or tomorrow and a "guaranteed" parcel containing 3 gifts that I'm really hoping arrives. Other than that, I'm thinking that even if I end up finishing on Sunday, Christmas will come and it will all be ok :snowglo: Anagram, hope the neighbour kidlets didn't wear you out completely! WSW, hope you're feeling better! Kaylets, hope that you're surviving those late shifts! I'm glad that this holiday season is an improvement for you. The palace really is a wonderful place of support, isn't it. :hug: K, lovelies. Oatmeal calls... Let's all treat ourselves like the royalty we are today. |
Yes Arabella, the palace certainly is a support filled place....and I too am having a better non-food experience this year. I'm off in a few minutes to work off some steam whilst walking. Too bad with the cold...try extra vit c with zinc.... the zinc seems to disallow the virus to attach to mucus membranes and therefore the cold doesn't last so long, or get as severe. I too have a stiffish throat....but am being very vigilant about taking that daily vitamin! The zinc, C things are throat lozenges I believe.
OK...I am starting to wake up now....gotta go! :wreath: |
Well, even with my slip ups, I am down 2.5 pounds this past week. Woo Hoo! Be back on later, I have to get the kiddos off to school.
|
:xcheer: Whooo-hooo Flower! That's some kind of triumph, coming at this part of the year. Wow. And I was thinking, if you'd allowed the slip-up to get worse, this sure wouldn't have happened.
Thanks, Ceara. The cold is pretty fully-fledged, but i'm taking C and zinc (don't have the lozenges, but maybe I'll look for them when Im out this aft.) periodically throughout the day, plus Cold FX plus echinacea extract, plus garlic, ginger, sage. We'll see :shrug: How much zinc is in the lozenges, do you know? |
Can I just hide until all this Christmas insanity is over? I am absolutely exhausted. :tired: Shopping every lunch hour and after work, plus run off my feet at work all day long...covering for a co-worker who is on sick leave until Jan 1 PLUS doing my own job with a year-end looming. I fell asleep on the sofa after dinner and after 30 minutes or so, DD called from work. She asked what we'd had for dinner and I couldn't remember. Didn't know what day it was, or if it was early morning or evening....not a nice feeling. Just have to get through tomorrow and then I am off until the 28th. Haven't been able to get to the gym this week and I miss it....feel sluggish and fat and miss the stress relief!
DH made a trip to the book store last night and bought me FIVE new books for Christmas! I am SO looking forward to some down time and a chance to read. :book2: Congrats on the 2.5 lb loss Flower!! :woohoo: Arabella, hope you beat that cold....there is a very nasty, long-lasting one on the go here that I've managed to avoid thus far. I am taking ColdFx daily this season and so far, so good. :getwell: Anagram, how did the babysitting go? You are a brave woman! Ceara, maintaining this time of year is a good thing! Hi Kaylets and wsw! |
Huzzah 'n happy holidays from another palace far far away, Queens!
I snuck in here dodging popups and various site issues I still seem to have on 3FC but couldn't let the Winter Solstice come 'n go without saying a hello to all of ye here 'n making a quick foray through the latest thread, hearin' tale o' how it's really poppin' here 'n read through with pleasure. Thank ye to all who've been a part o' my life this year and to those supportin' the sister-venture o'er the water and a hearty good morrow to all denizens here. Hallo to all ... and I'll see if this posts ok! Fa la! :) |
OK...off for the Friday parental brekkie...only they aren't coming. We are going out for dinner tonight. So it is the friend brekkie. Anyway, I'm done work until next Wednesday...had a calorie and wine melt-down last night...not too bad but I plan to tread the path strongly today....have a head ache from the wine! I'm unaccustomed I guess.
Good to see you here Empress...glad you made it in and out unscathed! OK...gotta go...may check in later. Take care all! Good work Flower! That is inspiring! :hohoho: |
Tons of congrats, flower, on that loss! Well -earned.
Hope the cold's improving per your plan, Wood Nymph. And glad DH is sharing, not shutting off. So helpful to you both. So many changes to deal with. Howdy, Amarantha. So glad you're taking time for us in that hectic schedule, Wildfire. :grouphug: I must confess I have been very unregal. I KNOW that I must check into the palace regularly to have any hope of staying reasonable. But I have gone the evil route of overindulging, avoiding due to shame, and then more overindulging. So here I am, shamefully back and hopeful. Neighbor boys very good. Older is high functioning autistic and both have lots of food allergies and I was to give them lunch. Fortunately all set up for me but I would hate to, even inadvertently, do something to cause them harm. Then next day, visited w/ailing sister. She's coming along but it's been very slow. Then yesterday, got phone call that BIL in local hospital. He'd had surgery on Monday at Johns Hopkins, gone home Tuesday, needed ER Wed. night. So I offed to that hospital to see/support other sister. He's doing ok now and got to see doctors there that he'd had appts. to see yesterday and today. Thinking chemo/radiation will start soon. But stress, time, all that stuff did their damage. However, TODAY starts Christmas here as DS/DDIL arrive until Sunday. Sunday I go to DDs, home Tuesday, DD/krewe coming either Wed/Thurs., Ds/DDIL returning Friday, etc., etc. I'm in as good shape as I need to be, I guess. All stuff was limited this year but I ended up doing more than I'd expected to. So, all's good as I think Christmas always turns out to be no matter what is/isn't done or what plans get thrown out of whack. I can't promise to be on total track. Will make a better effort though than's been going on. :shocksn: Yes, I do love the little Christmas :elf:s. Doesn't take much to make me happy! :xcheer: Expect to be back but just in case :santa: :hohoho: :coolsnow: :ginger: :wreath: :candy: |
flower-congrats on the lbs down. terrific!
arabella-i hope you are feeling better. nasty cold be gone! wildfire and amarantha-so nice to see you! ceara-hope you enjoy your time off for the holiday, and that you had pleasant brekkie with friend. hi kaylets! anagram-your holiday schedule with royal family sounds busy and fun. enjoy! and to all the royal kingdom-hello! i have been able to maintain weight, so can't complain. plan to just continue to try and hold the course til end of year. starting to feel better and getting some energy back. had nice visit today from my golden retriever buddy and his "mommy." thinking of you all. well, take care. |
I baked a ton today, but sending most to my dads. The kids are home for 2 weeks, so I doubt I will get much of it anyways. I STILL need to work on the excersicing part. Not sure what is wrong with me. Probably too much to do time of year. Or the freezing weather.... Or me just be lazy like always. Ho hum...
|
Getting into the mellow spirit here. Church tonight w/DS/DDIL, wearing a way-too-big Christmas sweater. Feels good. Long enough to be a tunic ;)
Leaving in the morning (after they do) so I'll be wishing a marvelous Christmas to all who celebrate same. Need not be Merry - Peaceful will suit me just fine. |
My parents fed me way too much last night. I walked afterwards cause I was uncompfy. I bought a jr's size 19 t-shirt for modivation to stay on track! (it seems so tiny compared to my stretched out man shirts. lol ) I am promising myself, no more splurges this week. The yummy stuff will always be there. No reason to undo hard work.
|
:xcheer: Merry Christmas, everyone!
|
Hope the day is being good to everyone!
|
Merry Christmas to the Palace Folke! Hope you all had a peaceful and meaningful time!
Yes, parents can do that...I had 2 bites of a small piece of mince pie, and then gave it to my Mom...she didn't want a big piece either! She'd made it, and it is good, but so rich! The eating frenzy is almost over...one more house party this evening at my brother's and then normalcy for a bit. Today is day 1 of a mini-streak for me...doing it with the Empress far away. I need to get myself back on track. So, how are you all doing? I think we are straggling back in. Must straighten our tiaras, and crinolines and get our regal bearing back. Workin' on it! :wave: |
Just staggered in from Princessville. Ready to cozy in here for a bit of quiet before they hit here in a day or two. Will be a bit frenzied on and off until New Year's but then will straighten me out.
My first Christmas w/o DH is over. It was good, better than I would have expected, but still bittersweet. I'm beginning to focus in a little on what I'd like besides good health and a svelte body ;) ;) ;) and that's a good way to start a new year. Much love to all Royal Personages and much Good Cheer as well. |
Hello all......
Hope everyone's holiday was perfect. Myself, also had a sugar meltdown and then what must have been a touch of something as after a few hours up each day, I had no energy and needed long afternoon naps 3 days in a row. Yesterday, went back to work meaner than the Scrooge but by the end of the day, felt more like myself. DH started yesterday am riding the stationary bike while the coffee is being made. Hearing the bike this morning motivated me to get up and going..... Congrats Flower on pounds gone during this wild time of temptation..... I start a Biggest Loser Competition w/ coworkers on Jan 2.... Its all based on percentage lost.... that's the only rule..... I start Day 1 today of no sugar...... So, my royal friends..... We are doing our best! Onward! Today we will do as well as we can! |
Kaye, that was a long streak of no sugar you did....you'll be there in no time! I think we all did well this year...think of what we could have been doing...and so much earlier in the holiday season! A short melt down is better than a month long glutton-fest!
Anagram, glad you're back! I know the feeling...of needing a couple days of "normal". Same here....not that I have princesses coming, but just would like my own routine back for a bit! OK...I work today at 4, and I have to go for a walk and do stuff...Day 2 of a 3 day challenge dawns... Take care all! |
