Good morning ladies!
I'm here! I'm alive! I just went through a phase of being disenchanted with posting, with WW, with same old same old. I just get tired of thinking this all the time and getting nowhere. My focus is so darn fragile and my resolve is just plain weak. I've been pondering why, if I want to lose weight, why do I sabotage myself so much? What am I hanging onto besides fat? Trying to Dr. Phil myself.
I have noticed that when I journal and plan and really keep within my points the best, I'm not exercising. When I get the exercising going right, I allow myself to eat too much and journalling and planning fall by the wayside. Hmmmmm.
Anyway, cardio exercise is out for at least a month; probably the rest of the winter. I finally went to the doctor about my hip - why does it hurt sometimes, why does it feel like its out of place sometimes, etc. She took lots of x-rays and thank goodness I hadn't gone to a chiropracter because I have an old fracture in my hip. Who knows when this happened but the ligament was torn so hard at one time it pulled off a piece of bone. You'd think you'd remember something like that but it could have been months or years ago. I've put off the doctor for so long now I can't remember when this really started.
So no walking, no biking (weather sucks anyhoos), no videos.
My goal for between now and Thanksgiving is to start WW anew. Back to journalling, back to saying NO to the food and getting a grip on snacking and portion sizes. I can still do hand weight exercises and situp type things. But I won't even count those in as exercise points.
The weather here truly is miserable. Its been cold and wet for more than a week now. No sunshine at all!! That means - dogs in the house all the time.
Big Bear tore his knee out again and had unexpected surgery about a week ago. So we've been going through the healing process one more time. Its just hard keeping him calm; he has so much puppy energy. I'm thinking doggie ludes. So life has been about the dogs for the last week.
Jen - The kids are so adorable. You've very talented with the creative stuff. Animal Fiber Fair?? Is that like lambswool?? You do such fun sounding things.
Kira, Dawna, Chatty - Welcome to the group. I've been posting here for more than two years I guess. But I'd taken a hiatus for a bit.
J-Ann: You're colorful as ever! How's the cold? DH has one and has been moping around for a few days now. There really isn't much you can do but mope with a cold. They truly make you feel miserable. Feel better soon! How was your weekend?? The turkey sounds great. I'm ready for a Sunday turkey any time now.
I better get ready for work. Have a great OP day!
I've heard about virtualmodel but haven't visited there yet. I will one of these days tho.
I'll try for 5 lbs myself. (of course this means I'll have to WI and see how much damage I've done the past few weeks.) 
That's more than 1/5 of 100 lbs. You go girl. 
Yea for me! I am on my way for the Thanksgiving challenge. This week I need to concentrate on drinking my water. Have not done really good this past week..so that is my goal this week....DRINK, DRINK, DRINK!
