shirley's (in pic) doing a little better, usually takes 3 laser treatments for improvement. Yesterday we had a ribbon cutting ceramony at our rescue. Granville Homes donated(most of it) to build a 4800 sq ft building on our property. There was the president of Granville, manager of Subaru ( They give % of car sales certain times of the year) some city council members. Our Rescue, Animal Compassion Team (check it out on FB) also got the contract last year for the county shelter. Before them, it was a very high euthanasia rate, now it's very low & they take dogs out into makeshift play yards & send alot out to different no kill rescues, out of state too.

I'm doing better, my shoulder /wrist pain has subsided. I went to a really good flexability class today & will continue to go every week. I lost 2 more lbs!! Our youngest son came by this morning & left some donuts, but we put them down the sink! I want to mention that my hubby lost about 50lbs & got off insulin, still has struggle with sugar but is winning. Our kids think we're amazing & laugh when they come over there's no "goodies" around anymore lol1

@Evamutt - glad your dog is doing better. Sounds like some great work that you do at the rescue centre - such a great cause.
Jen - you are not alone, I have no willpower to say no to any food at the moment - too many christmas snacks lying around and it's not even close to Christmas Day yet. I'm doomed!! Hope your Christmas spirit is starting to make an appearance - I've had years where I just don't feel it and it's so hard.
Rachel - congratulations and commiserations in equal measure. But as others have said, at least you know about the PCOS - if you are aware of it, you can at least do something to manage it. And you are in a great place to start with so good incentive to keep doing what you have been doing. Glad Chance is ok now - I think it's a good job that all our pets are cute as they are far too much mischief to get away with it otherwise.
Joy - to be honest I feel like I have fallen off the side of the earth
. Too much to do in too little time - going to have to take a view on what is really essential and what can be dropped otherwise me and my husband will be asleep by Christmas! I too thought we were sorted for Christmas but it appears we may not be - sigh!
Shy - sorry to hear about your father in law, hope he is doing better now. Sounds like another busy week for you - I truly don't know how you do it!
@Dalceridae - hope you get your dog home today as expected
So, in good news: I'm still here! Today is my last day of work until January 4th! We have Alistair's 2nd birthday party on Sunday which will be fun then my husbands birthday on Monday which will also be fun!
In bad news: I'm absolutely shattered! I'm coughing! And too much to do in too little time - party food and birthday cake to pick up tomorrow, shopping to do, swimming lesson for Alistair. Oh and then my father in law will land on us tomorrow evening for two nights - why did I think it was a good idea to invite him down to stay for the birthday party???? Then cooking on Sunday morning in between helping Alistair to open presents and then the madness of a 2 year old party in the afternoon.
Anyway, have fun everybody - for all of us who are struggling with one challenge or another, hang in there - it will get better. I won't be around much this weekend but I will be back and checking in next week and trying to keep on top of things over the next couple of weeks.1 -
I desperately need motivation! Worked out intensely from Feb to July (CrossFit and so), then traveled and have been struggling with weight gain since. Been doing insanity for 2 weeks now, but my eating habits are fluctuating. I'd eat super healthy for 2-3 days then super crappy for a couple days. So tired of this cycle
Need to lose about 20 kg.1 -
Welcome @somoejr!
@janetay01 I'd be shattered too, that sounds exhausting! I hope you can fit in some time for yourself
@Evamutt What a cutie! And congrats on the 2lb loss, throwing away doughnuts is a huge NSV!
@jdelaroy Sorry to hear you have it too. That is hilarious timing on your second pregnancy though! Kids have never been a plan for me so luckily the infertility isn't a concern. Just got to keep that heart disease, uterine cancer, and insulin resistance at bay!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Our operating system is down so today is going by VERY slowly. I made it to the gym this morning since I've got a happy hour after work so I'm proud of myself for keeping active (@bluepoppies777 I seriously love the challenge idea!) I also packaged all the Christmas cookies from the swap yesterday so that I can get rid of them over the next few days and I only set aside a few for myself. I'm feeling much more in control this week so I'm hoping to ride that wave through the New Year0 -
@Evamutt sounds like a great place! I love that you put them down the sink. Hopefully, after they left.
@janetay01 Yikes sounds like a fun busy week. Take care of yourself. I am glad you get a couple of weeks off. I don't even get a day off for the holidays this year.
@samoejr Maybe try to eat more at moderation, Eat mostly healthy and add in a treat, that way you don't have as strong of an urge to eat badly.
@rachel0778 Yeah I was in shock when I found out I was pregnant. It was a lousy time in my life. Today though I am so glad I have him in my life. Great job on the gym, and the cookies.
Today I am trying to win the battle against the dreaded chocolate in the break room. ( I feel like and addict, 1 minute at a time.)0 -
-
@Rachel0778 That's a great pic! I'm especially loving it because I was able to bring my fuzzy pup home from the vet today after her rubbish bin adventure a week ago! She's able to go off fluids and onto solid foods and oral meds finally, so she's back home and curled up on my feet right now as I type.0
-
Gem: I would love to hibernate as well!! Looking for anywhere from 6-15” of snow here in Wisconsin today into tomorrow! Yuck!! The temperatures suck as well!! Brr!!! Way to go on the steps!!!
Rachel: Not great news but a great outlook for you! Way to stay positive! Glad the pup is doing better!! I love that meme!! My dog once ate a whole batch of peanut butter cookies!!!
Joy: Welcome back lady!! I think you felt as good Saturday as I did on Sunday! We are not 20 any more! That pub crawl was amazing!! I had so much fun!!! I am with you… I am totally prepared for Christmas and yet last minute stuff keeps popping up… I ran out at 8:30 two nights in a row for stuff… And it is literally freezing cold and I don’t want to leave my home! =(
Jdelaroy: sorry you aren’t in the Christmas spirit… that’s always a bummer… I absolutely hate when companies pull that crap… if Christmas was on a Monday, you’d have it off…. GRRRR!
Evamutt: Awhh… cute pup!! Glad you are doing better!! Way to go on the 2 more lbs!!!
Janetay: My will power sucks too!! Sounds like a very busy weekend!! Hang in there!! You will survive and it will be fun!!
Thanks for all the thoughts of my father-in-law… things are not getting better… 2-3 days has changed to 4 day of ICU and talking of rehab facility for him after his hospital stay. He still has a brain bleed and it seems to be getting worse. 3 broken ribs, a punctured lung… His is withdrawing from Nicotine and we got him on a patch yesterday so his mood is improving. It’s still not a great outlook… Been busy with that and busy with getting final touches for Christmas!! Huge snow storm in the forecast and things just keep piling up… Tomorrow was suppose to be my husband’s family Christmas but with the FIL in the hospital it will be somber… And not everyone will make it with the snow storm. =( Here’s to a better week next week!!!0 -
Happy Friday!! I'm so glad it's Friday! Yesterday I was stuck at home with a sick boy, it is still freezing here so we didn't even leave the house! Just let the dog in and out and shut the door fast! I didn't 'exercise', but I worked all day at home, changing sheets, laundry, vaccuuming and baking. So I'm counting that as one of the 9 day challenge! Today I will take the dog for a walk after work because she didn't get one this morning.
Shy, sorry to hear your FIL isn't improving much at all. Seeing anyone in the ICU is a very scary thing, so keep the positive energy going and hopefully it will rub off on the rest of the family. Hang in there! ACK! snowstorm! It is still freezing here, but hasn't been snowing. I love a white Christmas with lots of snow, so I hope we get more next week!
Rachel, when I read you saying that kids were never a plan for you, the first thing I thought was well, it's going to save you TONS of money and headaches! HA!! My hubs and I always say we would have matching Porsches if we didn't have kids! LOL.
Jane, good grief woman - pour yourself some wine to help you through the weekend! LOL! I actually hate kid's birthday parties (when I'm hosting!) haha! I know the kids love them, and they are fun - but it is so stressful for the moms to have everything organized and the mayhem of the party, and then the clean up of the aftermath. Definitely just try to keep sane and if anything goes haywire, just laugh it off! good luck and happy birthday to your 2!
Jen - I don't know why I can't stop eating stuff right now too! I'm like a golden retriever with no off switch! What the heck??!! It totally bites that you have to work through the holidays (do you have any sick time?!) Hopefully you can spark some christmas magic between now and the 25th, but if not, don't worry - we have all had years that have fallen flat. Not every year can be like a hallmark commercial!
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!0 -

@gemwolf110 What a gorgeous dog! I'm so glad to finally have my girl back from the vet. We went out for a shorter walk today as I don't want her to overexert herself, but there was no snow sadly - just lots and lots of mud. I don't know what I would do without wellies.1
-
@dalceridae Glad your pup is back home and on solid foods now!
@gemwolf110 What a cutie! Your dog should talk my dog into enjoying the snow. He's driving me nuts all cooped up!
@bluepoppies777 I didn't do anything yesterday either. It's hard to get the motivation when the weather is so crappy. I absolutely love those memes by the way!
@ShyCush6 So sorry to hear your FIL is still in the hospital I hope things start turning around soon. Were you still able to celebrate with your in-laws this past weekend?
I think I ate every Christmas cookie known to man this weekend. Seriously. I'm still tracking and I'm still exercising, but my waistline thinks it's officially time for the holidays to be over. I'm definitely going back into weight loss mode after we get back from my SO's Grandma's house. It is going to be a fun filled holiday week this week so I'm just going to make the best choices I can. I'm glad it's a 3 day week at work because I definitely need some time away!1 -
Happy Monday! 6 more days until Christmas! It's snowing here today, so it's feeling quite festive! Warmed up a bit, so it's nice not to be absolutely frozen anymore!
Rachel, I ate every Christmas cookie known to man this weekend too what is going onnnnn?? Will have to try to wrestle myself away from all goodies this week!
We went to see Rogue One last night, took the whole fam. Everyone liked it! I have a family of all boys, so we see allll the guy movies. LOL. Pretty much behaved with the popcorn, didn't overdo it. and only drank a few sips of diet coke. I did get the fuzzy peaches, but didn't eat too many, so that was a win.... but the butter tarts got me at home later! GAH!
Gem - Cute pup!! Our last dog was a husky-shepherd with one brown eye, one blue eye. She was a beauty too, but not as fluffy as yours!
Have a good week, everyone! I'm sure everyone will be busy this week with wrapping and prepping for Christmas, so check in when you can, and sending Christmas wishes to everyone! xo0 -
I have officially lost 10% of my bodyweight! I struggled so much all last week and I often feel discouraged because I have so far to go, but this was my first goal. I wanted to reach it by the end of the year.
My border collie is mostly back to herself today and had a good follow up visit with the vet. She lost a fair bit of weight while ill, but at least she's back to eating now. She's even bugging me to play with her toys again, which is a great sign. I was so worried last week!4 -
Joy - what are fuzzy peaches? They sound good!!
@Dalceridae - glad your border collie is back to herself. They cause us such worry when they get ill but playing with her toyds again is a great sign!
@gemwolf110 - gorgeous dog
Shy - so sorry to hear about your father in law, sending positive thoughts your way.
So, we made it through the birthday weekend - Alistair had a marvellous time on Sunday, lots of lovely presents and sugar overload with his birthday cake! The party was primarily our friends and family but he had his best friend from nursery round and they just rampaged round the house squealing and laughing hysterically so good fun was had by all. He was absolutely shattered by the end of the day and fell asleep, snoring, in my arms during story time! Father in law has now gone home so we are the final push for present wrapping, food planning and all the many other little bits and pieces. Have a good day all and I'll check in soon.0 -
@bluepoppies777 I hope you're having a wonderful week preparing for the holiday! Great win at the movie theater, darn butter tarts!
@dalceridae So glad to hear your pup is at home and doing okay. Congrats on the great weight loss milestone!
@janetay01 Glad to hear the birthday party was a big hit! It sounds like a lot of fun
I've been doing really well getting back on track with my treats over the last 2 days, even though I've had dinners out both days and I've got another work luncheon at a pizza place today. Everything is pre-tracked and I have dinner planned as well so I can be set up for success. I woke up naturally at 5am this morning (eek!) but I was able to hit the gym for a 5 mile run before work so I'm feeling good! Hopefully I can keep this momentum going into Christmas Eve.0 -
Hello everyone. Today is another fresh start day. Im frustrated with myself for slacking and giving myself excuses allowing myself to gain everything back. I really need to stick with logging my food and being accountable. I'm hoping that by joining the MFP Community it will help me with my failures.3
-
Good morning! Sorry for the radio silence, it has been such a crazy week/weekend/end of year!
@ShyCush6 - Sorry to hear that your father in law is still in the hospital. Good thoughts for you and your family through this time!
@bluepoppies777 - Glad to hear you enjoyed Rogue One! There are so many movies I want to see, it's crazy! We'll probably see that this weekend, and maybe Assassin's Creed too. I love the video games, and Michael Fassbender is awesome, so we will see. I'm going to see Manchester-By-The-Sea tomorrow night. It's a Casey Affleck film. I'm from New England (and grew up in Boston/went to college in Boston too) so I gotta support those movies!
Big welcome to the new faces I see! @Bobbie48421 @samoejr
@gemwolf110 - Your husky is so precious!! I would just run around in the snow with a dog like that! Is she part alaskan malamute? They tend to have longer coats than huskies do. My fingers are crossed that there is an opening in the department you are cross-training!
@janetay01 - Glad to hear Alistair's party was a success for all!
@jdelaroy - Chocolate is hard to avoid this time of year. If you allow yourself one piece, you can still stay under, and enjoy the deliciousness too.
@Rachel0778 - Way to get that run in yesterday morning! That's amazing dedication right there!
I'm with a lot of you that it's been hard to get to the gym. I took Sunday off as my rest day, and was planning on going in on Monday, but my boyfriend was called into work early and needed the car because he was closing the store at midnight, so I ended up sitting on my butt snacking on cookies from my cookie swap this weekend. Oops! Went to the gym last night though and did some back and some cardio. Tonight we have spin class. Rather than taking another rest day tomorrow (we're going go the movies after work) I'm going to get my butt into gear in the gym in the morning before work. Friday I'll have personal training, and then Saturday I'll hit the gym before we drive up to Maine to see my parents and sisters.
Still need to figure out when to wrap presents for friends and family. I scheduled that into my journal to do that tonight before spin class, so let's see if I can get that done! I'd love to be able to drop off my friends' presents before the holiday weekend, but I don't know if I'll have time. I'll have to make time, maybe tomorrow or Friday.

@wishfuljune My work swap cookies got me too...they are dangerous!
@gemwolf110 That sounds exhausting! I hope a position opens up for you and all that extra hard work pays off
@Bobbie48421 Welcome!
Yesterday was rough....I got home and literally curled into bed and didn't move for the rest of the night. My director is luckily out today so I can take a breath, and then I don't have to come back to work until January 3rd! I might be a bit MIA during that time since we're visiting relatives in other states but I'll check in from time to time and be back swinging in the new year.
The secret to waking up naturally at 5am is to go to bed at 8pm. No joke, I often go to bed before my Grandma's bedtime. I did it again this morning and did some rejuvenating yoga to get me in a better headspace to make it through today. Happy Wednesday everyone!0 -
Hi girls. I'm back. Counting the days until the end of the year. Hubby and I are having problems. Jenna got into an accident last week. Got hit by a city snow plow blowing through a stop sign. She is going to be ok just really sore. Still no rent a car. Trying to get city insurance info. Almost 100% sure they will total my car. Now have to wait and see what they will give me. Not in Christmas spirit at all. Definatelly feel like a Debbie downer. On the plus side all the stress I'm down 1.5 lbs.0

Joy: That cold was awful!! So glad the temps have risen here… We hit 20’s yesterday and it’s like a heat wave! Ugh! “Why do I live where the air hurts my face?” I love the dog meme… I had to share it on my FB page… So Bentley!! Fuzzy Peaches and Butter Tarts… I need to hear more!
Gem: Ahhh! Your husky is adorable!! Best of luck with the work situation… never hurts to cross train and give yourself an edge… sucks that is puts working out on the back burner but hopefully it will all pay off in the long run!
Rachel: Christmas cookies are so hard to say no too… I can say no to the ones I made but any one else’s cookies…. Not a chance! Nice job on recovering from the sweet overload!! You are a motivation!! I’m a morning person as well and it feels so good to get in a morning workout!! Have a great time traveling over the holidays!!
Dalceridae: Way to go!!! Just keep on trucking! You are doing great! Glad to hear the pup is feeling better.
Janetay: Glad the birthday was a success!
Bobbie: Welcome!! Check in often!
June: Good luck on the wrapping presents… Have a great time in Maine!
Nicole: Sorry to hear about your daughter!! Glad all is ok… hope you can figure out the car situation soon… My MIL is going through the same thing. They finally totaled her car and now waiting for a check to buy a new one. =(
Sorry I have been MIA… Had a pretty good weekend… Ended up having our family Christmas at the in-laws without my father in law there. My MIL broke down saying a prayer before dinner. It wasn’t the same but he is doing better… slowly but surely. He is out of ICU as of Monday finally. Still in the hospital and transferring to a nursing home soon hopefully so he can get rehab and back home. Going to be hard on the MIL until he is home. She is still w/o a car and having a hard time relying on everyone else. Sunday, Lexi and I went to visit my parents. It was so cold we didn’t do much… a little 4-wheeling for about 15 min stints and then went in to warm up by the fireplace after each time! Monday night was spent at the hospital and last night we had a Christmas party for a friend who was home from Idaho. So we invited a bunch of old HS classmates over. It was a nice quiet gathering. Sadly though Chad is home with the flu… hit him about 1 am last night. =( So crossing my fingers he stays away from me with it. Hope he isn’t sick over the holiday. Hope the work week goes quick! I’m ready for some cheerful spirit!! Merry Christmas to all!! Hope you have a wonderful holiday!!!1 -
Good morning all. I don't know about all of you but these last two day of work are just about going to kill me. The place is dead and I have no desire to work, and all the freaking cookies and chocolates and everything else. UGH no will power. Getting back to the gym today. I miss it so bad.
Shy I hope you don't catch the flu. I am also keeping your father in law in my thoughts and prayers.0 -
Good morning. I missed everyone. I was sick all weekend into Tuesday. Finally started feeling better yesterday. I am still looking for the Christmas spirit, I feel like I am trying to find it, but it is being very elusive. I have 18 people that are going to be at my house for Christmas. This is my first year hosting. Holy crap am I nervous. I don't even know where everyone is going to sit. We might be eating on the floor, but it will be great either way. I am also not very excited for my birthday. It feels like it is just going to be another day. No one in my family has asked what I am going to do, so I think it is going to pass quietly by.

@ngolden3320 - I think I'm right there with you when it comes to all the delicious treats that are appearing in the office this week. I made my boyfriend eat the rest of the cookies that I got from a cookie swap this past weekend. They were delicious, but I couldn't eat them all.
@jdelaroy - Happy to hear that you are feeling better at least! Don't be nervous about hosting. You've got this! The important thing is that you are going to have a bunch of your loved ones over at your house. I'm sorry to hear that no one has brought up your birthday. Is it right around the holidays this upcoming weekend?
Well, today started off rough. I went to bed early with the best of intentions to go to the gym this morning, but at around midnight, my upstairs neighbors were moving furniture and screaming obscenities at their three dogs. I'm pretty sure this was going on for at least an hour. When 5 am rolled around, I felt so exhausted, that I shut off that alarm and waited for my normal alarm to go off for work. I went to Dunks to get breakfast, the drive-thru line was crazy long, and they messed up my order twice, which set me back several minutes and I missed my 8am call this morning.
Here's to letting it roll off my shoulders and power through the rest of the day. I've got the movies tonight with the boyfriend, and I will wrap presents before we go.0 -
@wishfuljune I am a Christmas Eve baby. My birthday tends to get overlooked by most my friends and extended family. Completely understandable. My immediate family has always been really good about making sure to remember. I think everyone is just having an off year. Oh well, I know they love me, so not too worried. Just feeling sorry for myself.0
-
Nicole: I have so checked out of work! I’m off tomorrow and the last two days are just brutal! The cookies are 2 cubicles away! Yikes!!! Thanks for the well wishes for the FIL.
Jdelaroy: I’m not a big birthday person either… I usually let mine past quietly as well. If I don’t I think I get my hopes up and then get disappointed and it wasn’t worth it anyway. Hope your Christmas goes off wonderfully… I’m sure it will! Happy early birthday too! Hope it a wonderful quiet and peaceful day for you!
June: Here’s to hoping your day can’t get any worse… poor girl! Hope you enjoy your evening…
Well, all is well here. Ready to be off for the weekend! Wrapped up the final last minute items I picked up last night. The hubby made it to work today, so hoping it was a just 24 bug. Had a horrible sore throat last night but I amped up on Vitamin C and woke up and it is much better today. Who needs to be sick this weekend. We didn't make it to the hospital as with both of us sick... so hopefully at some point tomorrow or Saturday will will be up there! Tomorrow I have a friend’s birthday, we are going out for lunch and then bar hopping the rest of the day! Yikes! Water… think water… lots of water… damn I’m going to make my self pee! LOL! Now for me to remember the water thing tomorrow!! Saturday, we don’t have any family plans so for Christmas Eve we are going to a cheese raffle with some friends who don’t have family. Something fun and it’s hard when family has passed away, so trying to make it enjoyable for them! Sunday is our family Christmas then heading to my parents that evening and staying over. Hopefully lots of sledding, 4-wheeling and cookie baking/eating! <--- not for me! Everyone have a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas from me to you!!! I’ll be back on Tuesday!!! 0 -
Hi everyone! I am dyyyying at work today... and I still have to be here tomorrow too! Talk about dead!! And the cookies and goodies around here are going down the hatch a little too often! (no self control)!
Jane! Fuzzy peaches are candies! They are round shape, kind of flat, but plump and they taste like peaches, with a dusting of granulated sugar (a bit sour) on the outside. I seriously LOVE them. Glad to hear the birthdays are over and fun was had by all! Now to focus on Christmas, which will be so fun with little Alistair. This age it's so magical for them!
June - I love going to the movies! I wish I could go every week, but getting a babysitter that many times is out of the question, there would be mutiny at home! LOL. Enjoy your trip, have safe travels!
Gem - good job at work, you are doing great. And have a merry christmas with your pups!
Rachel - You are so awesome, getting up early and getting your work outs in! Massive kudos to you! I pressed the snooze button this am, just could not get up at 5:15!! GAH! I just realized at this moment, I think it's because I'm eating crappy right now, so that makes me more sluggish and tired! (duh!!). Enjoy your time away from the office and safe travels to all those different states you are hitting for the holidays!
Nichole - I'm so sorry to hear Jenna had that accident, but thank goodness she came away nearly unscathed. What a year for you, it's been so many awful things after another. that is probably the reason that you and your hubs are having some problems. So just hang in there, things are going to get better, and then things will smooth out with him too. It's got to be all the stress of the year, it would affect anyone. Try to get to some yoga classes and just have patience with each other. As I like to say fake it til you make it (like pretend to be nice to him until you feel like actually being nice and loving!)
Shy - glad to hear the FIL is out of the ICU, that is a big relief! Poor MIL, thankfully you guys are there to help her and keep her spirits up. Have fun on the bar hop! I WISH I lived closer to you! LOL! also, what the heck - a cheese raffle ???!!! I think I may have been from Wisconsin in my past life! or we were separated at birth... one or the other. LOL!
Jen - Hopefully you will get dusted with that magical spirit of Christmas in the next few days and feel more excited about it. It would suck having your birthday on Christmas, so I hope that everyone acknowledges that when they are at your house! If they don't, I think you should get everyone's attention during dinner and say "I'd like to make a toast - to me! Happy birthday to me, everyone!" And don't be nervous about hosting, my advice is to be happy (even if shizzle is going sideways)!! If the host is a stressed out madwoman, it puts everyone on edge. But if you are relaxed (or pretending to be relaxed), everyone enjoys themselves more. Also, delegate things! Just say to people can you please mash the potatoes for me? or get everyone a drink or put this/that on the table, carve the turkey... whatever! Just give people jobs! And if anyone gives you attitude, tell them they are on dish duty! Also, people will sit on the couches with their plates or whatever, so don't worry. You could ask a few people if they had some extra folding chairs they could bring. Good luck!! And happy birthday!!
Well, I've been having a good week. Drinking far too much rum and eggnog (it only comes around once a year so I dive in!). We are going to another party tonight. My brother is coming with his family from San Francisco tomorrow for a week, so we will be busy ice skating/skiing, snowshoeing, etc etc... I probably won't have time to check in too much over the next week.
I want to wish you ladies a very Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for the friendship, motivation, and encouragement. I really appreciate you guys so much. It's been a bit of a wild year for some of us with family members passing, changing job situations, and general ups and downs of life (and weight!). But we all pushed through and we all have been there for each other. Let's be thankful for our health and make a commitment to succeed in 2017 again.
One more thing - a few years ago I heard of this thing where you pick a word for the year. 2 years ago mine was "minimalism" (that one stuck but that's besides the point)!. This year mine was "care." (was going for self care, caring for friends and families etc). I'm thinking about my word for 2017. (tossing around focus, health or balance). You can pick any word - spirituality, fun, love... and let it guide you through the year. it's just a word that you can think of to motivate yourself when you need it, to guide you through decisions big and small, and things like that. So I wonder if anyone else wants to pick a word with me? We can think about it and let everyone know their word the first few days of January. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! xo 0 -
I have 100+ to lose. I'm really trying to do it right this time. In the past I have dieted and excersized, lost 25-30 lbs and stopped, thinking, "that's good enough for now" just to gain it all back then some. I'm tired of feeling tired and I want to change, so I'd love to have people to talk to and share with (:0
