Good Morning!

SineRose: Hope the pup recovers completely. When pets are ill, it can be really stressful...
Nancy: You must be really happy with your weight loss! Congratulations.... You sound like you are handling the move really well.
Yangtzer: Everything is so spread out in Vegas. And you can get lost in their malls and casinos...Hope you had fun and was able to see the attractions that you wanted to see...
CieCie: Glad that you are symptom free...

Exercise was okay this past week, but less frequent than usual. Diet was okay except for the desserts...

I am still plugging away at some goals.

December 2022
 

HoHoHo...

Yangtzer: I eat mostly dark chocolate because it is healthier...but I like fudge, chocolate and nuts, chocolate and peanut butter, chocolate and mint, chocolate and coffee, etc.... What is your favorite food?

Hi Teri! I am also a fan of chocolate and especially in ice cream. Glad to see you on here.

Diana- hope you feel more energetic today. My body is sore and tired from yesterday. Today will be my resting day. I still plan on a small walk though.

Ciecie-glad you are still feeling well. Were you able to take time off from work at this busy time of year?

Nancy-I don’t think things are ever dull in your house. You always seem to have plenty of things going on. 😊

Yangtzer- hope you had smooth travels back to the East coast.

Good Morning, Everyone! https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/ima...iles/wavey.gif

Yangtzer Safe travels!

I didn't post last night. I have been trying to get caught up on stuff. We also have a lot of Dr's appts this month. I have one today. Next year I am going to try to make sure the Dr's appts start in February and are over in October. Too much going on to enjoy anything.

Yesterday: no workout

Steps from yesterday: 4,769

Yesterday food: off plan, someone gave us a treat and I indulged

Have a Blessed day and stay safe and healthy.

Matthew 5:8
'Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.'

Denise wanted to do what was right. She was a good person, and it never occurred to her that her weight problem might be displeasing to God. Her friend tried to tell her that it didn't mean God didn't love her. What she meant was that God likes it best when we take the best care of ourselves possible, and that extra weight wasn't doing that. Denise pondered what her friend said to her for a long while, then resolved to try her best to lose weight. Apologetically, she prayed to God and asked Him to help her as she tried to set things right. The prayer of a person pure in heart and full of kindness speaks loudest into the ear of the Lord.


Today's thought: I wish my heart could teach my mouth to say 'no'!

Good afternoon! Had breakfast and lunch. Power walked and ran errands this morning. 🎅🏻🧑‍🎄🤶🎄

Good night all! Power walked to and home from my meeting tonight. Had supper and watched a movie I recorded when I got home. 🎄🎅🏻🧑‍🎄🤶

I'm finally home, resting day today.

WO: walking 9k steps
FOOD: non stop snacks first night home, LOL

Nancy..Congrats, .4 lbs and good job avoiding night snacks. Btw, Do you get the cocktail smoker just for popcorn? LOL.

Ciecie..Happy walking! Do you plan to visit your brother this Christmas? In the midwest as I remember, right? :)

Diana..How soon can you get your Dr’s appts these days? I remember during Covid time, the earliest I could get was 3 months later.

SinaRose..Happy resting day! What ice cream do you like? I love Rum/Rasin/Pistachio/Mango Haagen-Dazs.

Teri..What other desserts you like besides chocolate?

Good morning! Yes, I’m going to visit my brother and his family this Christmas. Will have breakfast and work out in a few minutes. 🧑‍🎄🤶🎄🎅🏻

Good morning to everyone!
WI up .2.....life
WO today is rest day for a formal workout but not for just general running around

Today I will go to the 'shop' and do more cleaning out of old paperwork that I have to take to the shredder. DH is not happy that insist they be shredded and that will cost a few $$, but it really needs to be done.

other than that a normal day on the home front

yangtzer I bought the smoker to actually do some cold smoking of cheese, and some foods...as well as a few cocktails. But last night I smoked the ice in a tulip glass then poured in diet tonic water and a little bitters. Alcohol free drink that made me feel like I was having a nice cocktail. That and the popcorn. I found if I take the wood pellets and smash them an 1/8th of a teaspoon is all you need.or less.

Moose Tracks with Peanut Butter cups is my favorite, followed by Peppermint ice cream during the season 🥰

Watching Christmas shows daily, listening to festive music, shoveling and walking in the snow.

Pup is doing somewhat better. Still waiting to hear test results.

Good morning! Will work out in a few minutes. 🧑‍🎄🎄🤶🎅🏻

Good Morning, Everyone! https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/ima...iles/wavey.gif

Yangtzer Most of our appts are made in advance when we are at the Dr for our normal apts. Does that make sense? LOL I did call to get a follow up to my breathing issue and was able to get it later that same week. Not too bad. Sometimes it takes a couple days to transition from vacation mode to normal mode.

Nancy I remember going through exactly what you are going through now. Hiring a shredder is so much easier. We had 32+ years of stuff! I shredded my parents stuff after they passed away and I said never again.

Steps from yesterday: 7,440

Have a Blessed day and stay safe and healthy.

Hebrews 10:36
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Paula woke up in pain. Her stomach was cramping, and she felt ill. It must have been the diet pills. Her friend had told her they were safe and they'd help take off weight three times as fast as normal. Why had she listened to her? She knew pills weren't the answer, but she wanted to lose weight fast. She never had been very good on patience. Her mother told her to pray for patience, but no, Paula thought she had a better idea. The truth was, there was only one way she was going to lose weight, and that was through perseverance and patience. Her mother was right. If God would give her a second chance, maybe together they could make it work.

Today's thought: Nothing takes off weight faster than devotion and commitment!

Good afternoon! Power walked and ran errands this afternoon. Watching Little Women this afternoon. I recorded it earlier. 🎅🏻🤶🎄🧑‍🎄

WI: no change, that’s a surprise! I walked so much in Vegas lol

Luke 1:49
'For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.'

Carolyn felt good about herself. She was in her own apartment, working full-time at a job she loved, and she was looking better than ever before. God had been so good to her. She was afraid when she first set out on her own, but she knew He was looking after her. With God on her side, she felt she could accomplish anything. God had set her feet on a good road, and she was going to try her hardest to stick to it. She wanted everyone to know what God had done for her, and she planned to do nothing that would allow anyone to doubt. The power of God shone brightly through her life, and she was glad.

Today's thought: I want my diet to be a sign of God's grace!

Good Day Chicksters🐥

Will be shoveling snow today ❄️☃️❄️, so sure to get a good workout. Sitting by the fireplace 🔥 with my pup now, enjoying the warmth and Christmas music before we venture out into the winter wonderland. I am sure I will be tired later today, but look forward to a Christmas show this evening with a nice mug of hot chocolate. Stay healthy and happy.

Good afternoon! Power walked and ran errands this morning. Had lunch. 🤶🎅🏻🎅🏻🎄

The swimming pool I go is closed due to Covid/Flu.

Psalms 68:19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

Doris stood at the window, watching the first heavy snow cover everything outside with a blanket of white. She sipped a cup of tea and reflected on the year quickly fleeting. So many good things had happened. Certainly there had been bad, too, but mostly it was good. She couldn't imagine why she was so blessed as to have so many things going her way. The Lord had looked kindly on her this year. She had never felt so healthy and good. The year had seen weight loss every month. She finally was beginning to look like she'd always dreamed she could. The Lord could take credit for that, too. There was no way Doris could have done so well if God hadn't strengthened her.

Today's thought: I gladly receive all the benefits the Lord has to give, as long as they're not fattening!

Oops I forgot to jump on yesterday
WI about the same, keep dancing the same .2-.4 lb up and down....but it is not a gain!
WO today is day 4 of week 11....next week is my last week with this program. I don't see much of a difference from the beginning and my weight is pretty much the same too but I am stronger physically, my tummy may even be a bit more toned?

Today I have to take my mom to a Dr. appt in downtown ugg, not because I don't want to help my mom it is the downtown part that I hate. She is having trouble keeping her oxygen levels up but they are not dropping down so low she needs a hospital.

This weekend we will drive up to the bigger city (Seattle double ugg) to visit MIL (yeah) and bring her a few Christmas items.

:grouphug:

Nine days until Christmas. It’s coming fast. A little sore today, but should feel better after a morning walk. I need to start thinking about my Christmas meal. 🎄

Hi Everyone! :wave:

DH got through the colonoscopy. They found 4 polyps. We will wait on the pathology report but the Dr. didn't think they looked suspicious. He will need to go back 12-18 months.

Tonight I am going to the Christmas program at the school where I teach Bible.

Right now I'm getting the house straightened back up.

Have a Blessed day!

Good evening! Did 2 miles Leslie Sansone before I left for work this morning. Power walked and ran errands before I punched in. Power walked and ran errands after I got home. Decided not to go out to supper tonight. Have a load of wash in the dryer. 🤶🧑‍🎄🎄🎅🏻

I have cold. Did't eat much and no exercise.

Hi Everyone! https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/ima...iles/wavey.gif

Today's devotion speaks to me.

December 17

1 Corinthians 9:24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Todd wasn't getting anywhere with his diet. It was on and off, at best. He just couldn't stick to it. He'd never been good at discipline and conditioning. How many times had he been kicked off high school teams for not practicing? He just didn't have the killer instinct. He didn't want to win badly enough. We'll have difficulty losing weight if our heart isn't really in it. If we're going to run the race for weight loss, then we need to be serious about winning it. Pray that God will strengthen both your heart and body, so that when the race is finished, you'll receive the prize.

Today's thought: Help me remember that I'm not just running away from fat, but that I'm running toward God's design of who I should be!

Good morning! Will have breakfast and work out in a few minutes. 🤶🧑‍🎄🎄🎅🏻

Good morning everyone
WI wasn't feeling the love this morning so I skipped it
WO today is a rest day

We are heading up to Seattle today to visit MIL and take her her Christmas gifts. I dislike driving through that city we are south of the city (by 30 milles or so) and they live on the north side of the city so we have to travel the entire length and there is not 'go around' to skirt the city. Anyway when we go it ends up being an all day affair.

Tonight I am making a 'cajun pasta' recipe I have made many times that is low cal and high protein. I am looking forward to it.

yangtzer sorry you have a cold, is this from just travel to you think?
Diana how was the Christmas program? and Caorling at an asissted facility wow I think that would be so so so much fun.
ciecie I take it you feel totally fine, are you still testing positive?
Sinarose, what ya got in mind for that Christmas dinner??
