The Holidays are always hard to lose weight. But this small group is here because we do not want to put on the expected 5 pounds a year for women! Stay under my friends.

Lol, right you are. This year. Adds up really quick Chris. Busy day. Was in my jammies getting a quarantine tank set up for a fish next week. And of course the door bell rings. Thank goodness it was my daughter. Rocky is finishing out table. Giving it a new face lift. Walked the kids and went to McDonald's for an Egg McMuffin. I love them. Forgot to weigh in. But I know I did good. Working out with my daughter in the morning.

150.2 This morning. Almost back to where I was before Thanksgiving and the tooth extraction. Rocky finished the table tonight and we carried it back inside. Darn thing was heavy without the legs even! Solid little bugger. Looks great, and I love the finish. Seems very durable and a might to slick though. Things might slide right off. LOL

Picture, please, Shelley! I have had nothing but salt for too long. No salt today. Found way too many new things this season that had peppermint in them. I won't name them because it would cause trouble for everyone!! **sigh**

I weighed 169.5 this morning, yech! Up 7 pounds and fighting since Thanksgiving. Hoping some of it is water or something and will come off as easy as it got on. Part of it is serious though. Fighting the good fight! Need to reverse course! Ahoy!!
Sorry to be scarce, I've become a weekend logger. Still adore you two.

Yeah, I founds some of those pounds too, Paula. 148.4 this morning at 4.00 a.m. Managed to get CoMC done before it was posted! Yesterday was 149.6. October and November are the hardest for me. I'm not afraid of Christmas...just all the peppermint creations!!
Chris0 -
I am holding at 150.4. I hope the fires get contained soon. Just awful.
Paula so glad to hear from you. I was almost ready to call you. Been worried. And yes, them Holiday pounds are not so jolly!
Chris I want some peppermint brownies. Both my favorites together.
Well I found one of my favorite fish on the floor. To sad. The tank only had a tiny amount of space by the filter he could have gotten out. So frustrating. Poor little guy.
Nite gals.
Shelley0 -
147.0 this morning...heading to 140.0.
I am north of Paula and she is north o the fires which are in So. California. I did live in Ventura and Saticoy and Santa Paula when I was a kid. We moved a lot...a lot.
So sorry about your little fish, Shelley.
DH got into the Chicka Boom White Chocolate and Peppermint popcorn last night. Hope he finishes it soon. Maybe he'll sprinkle it on the peppermint ice cream that's in the freezer...
Chris0 -
168.5 today.
Shelley so sorry about your fish.
paula0 -
Chris that sounds like me, moved a lot and hope hubby eats it all quickly. Those fires are just awful. Paula understands that loss more than I ever can.
Paula that is the right direction. I went down a little. But lunch at work today may have hurt.
149.6
Shelley0 -
146.4 at 5:00 a.m. Not sure I believe it. We'll see tomorrow morning if it holds, then I will finish my happy dance.
DDD gifted me with this when I gifted her w/Chicka Boom White Chocolate and Peppermint popcorn...
Can't remember if I shared this with you or not. DH is working on it. It is very sweet...so is he!!
Chris0 -
Oh my, never seen it before. Butterfingers are good on anything. Better him than us.
Shelley0 -
Popcorn is half gone...I just checked. DH is still working on it.
I have wide spread arthritis...bone spurs on my clavicle spine...stenosis of the spine...but, good news, no herniated discs. Going to try acupuncture. I was pretty surprised that Kaiser has an acupuncture dept. It's not here in town, but 25 miles isn't too bad if I can arrange late afternoon or Saturday/Sunday. If that doesn't help, cortisone or nerve block shots. Doc upped my meds a little.
Chris1 -
146.0 this morning at 6:00. It is freezing outside! 32 degrees!!! It's supposed to be in the 40's by the time we walk at 7:30...I don't think that's gonna happen. Walking, working w/our trainer, garage clean up, Good Will run. Busy day. DDD was down w/a migraine yesterday. Might do a Mom Visit if she's still hurting today.
Have a great Saturday, ladies.
Chris0 -
Chris that all sounds painful. Makes it all the more amazing you are here with us working out. Let's hope for the acupuncture to help.
Shelley0 -
Acupuncture this coming Friday. It's going to be for ALL body pain! Cool beans if it works! I'll have three group sessions then...I don't know what happens. It's just needles in the ear lobes. Crazy if it works.
Shelley, I think about how much worse I would feel if I didn't workout. I say that and then say...today is a day off for us...no walking.
I fell into the popcorn bowl yesterday. Yummm! Weight went ^^^ . tee hee hee! We had Ronan so the garage did not get cleaned up. It's on the list for today... good thing lists can be shredded ...
Going to do artichokes in my new Instant Pot and shop for beef stew for tomorrow night. The kids are coming over. Artichokes will be pressure cooked...stew will be slow cooked. Fun!
Let's keep it up and stay together.

Chris I think that bowl of popcorn sounds yummy.
Sounds like you had loads of fun.
We had a Christmas party and there was chocolate on the table in a little wicker basket. We opened it and passed it around. At the end of the evening they had us look on the backs of our chairs. Which ever chair had a smiley face on it that person was to get the chocolate! Oops. LOL
Was very busy with water changes this weekend. Very busy. Changed over 80 gallons. But the fish are better for it. And yes, lets be here for each other.
Shelley0 -
Sorry I’ve been out of touch. 132.6 this am. Seem to be maintaining even with Thanksgiving and a weekend trip afterwards. Working in my building now, unpacking books on 2nd floor. Still won’t be open for 3 months or more, but have to inventory the books we do have. No heat in the building so bought myself some thermal underwear. Back to logging as that’s how I lose.1
-
Chris, I assume when you fell in the bowl, your mouth was one? I hate when that happens! :sad:
Clara, I've started logging again too, it'll probably really help.
Shell, you woke up and did push-ups every day? Why am I not surprised!
paula0 -
I slept through the entire night last night!! That never happens...I'm up at least three-four times to use the bathroom. I was totally surprised. Fourteen days til Christmas...11 pounds to go. bwahahaha! Just kidding...well...no there are just 14 day to go and I do have 11 pounds but...well...you know.
Chris1 -
Paula Pushups are like planks while moving. And it was a great way to get in shape fast. That was then.
Clara it is taking forever to get that library into shape.
Chris we just have to make it another couple of weeks.
150.2 this morning. On my feet all day. Ouch
Shelley0 -
Chris, The perfect solution for limiting nighttime water loss is to limit daytime water input. :laugh: Not good though, I really need to drink more, dash the consequences! (or flush them, something like that...)
Shell, I still think of you as an amazing monster of a worker outer. LOL! ...my idol...
Stayed the same as yesterday, 166.5.
Paula1 -
148.8 this morning at 7:30...yes, we slept until 7:30!! We don't p/u R&B until 11:15, but DH is having knee issues and we didn't walk. Sleep is sooooo good!
I was doing really well then...boom...fell off the wagon for no other reason than I went to the grocery store hungry. And we all know what that leads to. And everything peppermint fell off the shelf into my cart. So I'm back to drinking all my water and behaving myself and sticking to the shopping list. All the peppermint leaves town in January, right???
Chris

167 this morning. I too am scrambling to get back in the groove. Tracking and staying in limit.
The peppermint has left the house already! Bad peppermint, bad bad bad!!!
Paula1 -
Shelley's beautiful newly finished table!
1 -
Pretty!!!
Chris0 -
148.4 at 5:00 this morning. Staying on track. Seeing our trainer at 2:45 this afternoon. DH hurt his knee. He's going to the doc now. It looks nasty...all swollen and big. Hope everything will be okay.
Chris0 -
Sounds like it really hurts. Rocky had an amount infection in his knee which sounds about the same, swollen and red. Spent several days in the hospital. We were supposed to be on our first ever vacation.
149. , point something. I arrested 9 people at court today. Most were drug related. Drugs are bad. Anyway other than that I had a great day. Even got in a workout. 
Shell0 -
147.8 this morning at 6:00.
Shelley, did the nine people come in to see the judge and were all "smokey" or something??
DH's doc drew fluid. Knee is not infected. Gave him a shot, said "Take it easy." DH said it felt better today. It's still really swollen.
I'm going for acupuncture this afternoon at 3:00 for my neck. I'll let you know how fun that is...
We are going for a little walk this morning.
TTYL
Chris1 -
166 fighting to get it down but the jeans with extra stretch in them felt good today, no bulges.
Shell - I'm curious too... they came to court and got arrested? Is this one of those "How stupid are they" situations?
Shell & Chris, Sending concern and well wishes for your significant others to feel better. Scary.... Shell - so sorry about the 1stVacaEvah loss... Chris - hope the acupuncture works, tap that body energy!
