Hi everyone! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one not having a huge thanksgiving meal with family.
It will be the four of us. I still cook the traditional meal to make it special.
Years ago we always hosted a family dinner but now that both of my parents have passed and other family is scattered all over the world, we get together other times of the year instead of at the busy travel holidays. In fact last year, my family visited us in Europe and we spent thanksgiving in Budapest. I'm glad we spent our 7 months in Europe last year rather than now. Scary times for them.
I miss the big get together soon and hope that when my kids do have families of their own that they will all come to us for holidays and special occasions. Oh who am I kidding, I hope they are near me and visit regularly
I'm not planning to indulge so should be on track through the holidays.
Have a safe and happy Saturday!

It has been three months since I did any weight training. First it was my back, and I was totally unable to do any lifting at all (except maybe lifting some 5 pound weights overhead while seated). When my back healed, I was so consumed with the pain and tingling in my legs and the struggle to walk the dogs and dance, that I didn't even think about doing something with my weights. Something that I read on MFP inspired me to take the time to see what part of my old routine I could do. This morning I went back to my own variation of Strong Lifts 5x5 and did my day one part of the program using lighter weights and doing the overhead press seated. The weights I used were lighter than what I had been using so I didn't get to use my new weights but I have high hopes that I'll be able to increase the weights soon and get to use my new dumbbells.

Hi gang. Sorry I haven't posted in what feels like forever. It has been so very crazy here. Between dancing and costume repairs and school and swimming. I have not been able to stay awake to read posts. Today Shaundra and the rest of the ballerinas did a Readers Digest condensed version of the Nutcracker at our library. Here is a pic of the dancers. Not many people get to watch the ballet with the backdrop we have from our library.
Not the best pics but the backdrop is gorgeous. I had a hard time watching the dancers because the view was amazing. Shaundra is in the maroon and pink. She is the blondest one.

I just lost my post so I will try again. Darn back button!!
I just finished my TM the last session was today. I was supposed to get a book
from my instructor on finishing the course but she forgot to give it to me after
I left her house. I see her again on Dec. 3rd so I guess I will get it then.
I also finished the whole house with tidying and organizing with Marie Kondo's
book. Whew! that was a job but the house feels so airy now and spacious.
We are all packed for our trip tomorrow first going to our friend's house in
London, ON and then onto Michigan on Wednesday. Our first stop is Frankenmuth, MI a german village with shops and restaurants. So looking forward to it!. We will be celebrating Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping.
I see everyone here is doing great, Esther, your daughter looks great in her
costume and the view is breath taking.
Connie - Glad to hear your knee is doing better and you are feeling good.
Marie - I see you have had your family dinner already. Did you go out?
Ruthie- Nice to see you back.
Barbie - Interested to hear how you make out after the tests.
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Esther, I am eternally grateful to my mother for making it possible for me to take ballet lessons for years....now I line dance, but the background in ballet has made it possible....I hope your daughter will feel the same about all your efforts on her behalf 0 -

Good morning, losers! Happy Tuesday!
Marie..that sounds like a good plan for Thursday! Ours will be quiet, too. My daughter will come for dinner, but we won't see my son and wife until Saturday.
Nancy and Shirley...safe travels to your families and friends!
I have been for the gym for training and will go again tomorrow as my trainer will be off Friday. It was pretty cold this morning, but hey, this is November so it's supposed to be cold.
Stay strong, losers!

I am cooking Thursday, for my daughter, son, my grandsons and her boyfriend, the past few years we have went to my mother in laws house, and since his family is so big, all I needed was to bring a dessert. My husband has 4 married sisters, and a brother, that has a wife, the woman are all worker bees that put on a big spread, plus all the other people bring dishes. Atleast this year there won't be as much food to be around, even though I did great last year, I ate alittle bit of the things I wanted on one plateful, then held my grandbaby, so my step daughter could eat and be done eating myself. I took some advice I seen on mfp last year, about helping with children and keeping busy helping, to make it easier to not be eating so much. Gotta run, I need to go yo the nursing home today.

Janice, that is a great idea about holding the babies, helping with the children, and keeping busy to avoid eating stuff you don't need. 0

last night was the finale of Dancing With the Stars....we love the show and watch it every week....the finale was from 9-11 PM and we can't stay up that late, but I wanted to watch it before going to line dance because everybody talks about it and I wanted to know who won before I went to class. So we went to bed early and Jake agreed to get up early so we could watch the recording of the show before I went to dance. He built a fire in the fireplace so the dogs didn't want to stay out for their walks for very long. We watched the show and agreed with the decision and enjoyed the dancing. I rode the exercise bike while we watched the show so even though I didn't walk the dogs as much, I still got some exercise this morning. Barbie

Barbie.. I love the show, too! I am getting ready to watch it now.
Steph.. Good loss! I am going to post mine, too. I started a month late after eating at maintenance for two months. Down 12 pounds since then.0 -
Connie- Your loss is great, that is a good result for the challenge.
Steph-Glad to see you had another loss, today
Marie-I hope your nose is okay.
Barbie-It sounds like it was nice and cozy with the fireplace going, while watching the show, this morning. We need to have our fireplace checked out, we never have, and we have used it for many years, just not the past few years.
I have been busy cooking all afternoon, and getting ready for tommorrow. Have a good Thanksgiving, everyone. Janice0 -
Connie so darn proud of you. That's a lot of lost. You can be one proud lady.

Janice, I am just at the bottom of the range I have been bouncing around the last couple of months hoping to get some kind of breakthrough....it would be nice to see a new low
hope everyone has a great holiday!! I am so happy not to be hosting this year! running to spin class.
stephanie0 -
Jake built a fire in the wood stove so the dogs may not want to walk as far as usual. I have finished my breakfast and will be putting on my warm clothes for a walk.....the temp is -1 C so it's cold with frost on the ground and a full moon above. 0
