Daily Check in-
I have yummy lunch packed and that is all I can think about. I have to do stalling tactics to prevent eating my lunch so early.
Molly's mom is still in bad shape. The doctors are saying all the tests come back that she is for the most part doing fine. She doesn't feel fine. Molly is with her now. Her and her sister are rotating days until 24/7 care begins 01/02/2019. We are not sure if she will make it through the weekend. I hate that Molly has to be there by herself. It is such a struggle. Her mom had a panic attack in the middle of the night. Has not been able to eat and gasped for breath. It's so sad.6 -
I am still in NJ. I will catch up later with everyone
@cyndiesstuff I am going to have to weigh in tomorrow. I didn’t think to bring a scale.2 -

I read a couple more chapters in my book The Wahl's Protocol. Man, this is going to be a challenge. The book talks all about how to feed your body from the inside out. With food. So I am learning a whole new way to eat. I don't know if I will be successful but I have to try.
@Mrsbell8well the new year is a great time for reflection. I will be doing this and writing it and sharing it on Monday. I am praying for you and your family. our old folks are so important.
@carlsoda ohhh no I hope you feel better soon. that nasty bug is going around.
@lennoncpa good job on the no sweets. drinking water is very important for your body. love your January goal. and a loss the week of Christmas. I am doing the happy dance! that is wonderful!
@Lyssysho26 ohhh hugs to you. I know how how it is. do what you can and you will be just fine. take care my friend.
@phoebe112476 I love that pic. lol. I am a pizza lover big time. it is my trouble food.
@pacsnc6 life is full of challenges and you are doing what it takes. you keep working at it. one step at a time you will get there. and no problem changing your weigh in day. I will ask the powers that be to get that done.
@sleepymom5 no problem pam. just catch up with us tomorrow.
@eyesopennow that's no to bad. its over now. pick up and regroup buddy. its a new month and a new year. this is the year you are going to be a skinny Minnie!!
@DananaNanas just a small gain. new year, new month new you. lets start fresh in 2019

I was actually afraid to get on the scale this morning and thought my scale was wrong! I lost a total of 5 pounds but I was up a few at the beginning of the month because I was eating nuts to help me get off sweets!!

@Mrsbell8well thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
My vacation is almost over and I feel like I have accomplished nothing. I have done a few things around the house but I could have done that in 1 day instead of dragging it out. I have worked out every day though and got to go to extra Zumba classes. Which I love. We did do a little shopping yesterday and went out to eat, I started to get a stomach ache so we came home instead of continuing on to a few more places. There must have been something in the food I ate. It usually doesn't hit me that quick though. Today is a crappy day but my husband wants to get out and do something which is surprising because it's usually the other way around. I picked bowling, he nicely declined. He picked movies but idk. Maybe go buy my new sneakers.4 -
Morning all! Back at work today..first day this week and boy lots to do! I am feeling a bit better today, not sure what I'll have for lunch..thinking, thinking, thinking. I hit a nice low weight this morning too since I haven't been eating much...finally back into the 140's
I plan to stay there for the rest of my life!!
@Mrsbell8well - so sorry to hear about Molly's mom but I'm glad she's with her mom. That's where she needs to be right now. Thank goodness her sister is there to help too.
As for 2019 - my first and foremost plan for this year to is pay off my mortgage by December 31, 2019. I have a plan and yes I won't have much spending money this year, but I can't wait to not have to ever pay a mortgage payment again! 2nd is to get back to my healthy weight. I'm not sure what it is yet, I remember being at 137 lbs a few years ago and I felt pretty good. But I'm not going to sweat it - I'll keep doing what I'm doing right now because it's working albeit slowly, but it's working.
Hope everyone has a great day!!6 -
@carlsoda what a fantastic goal to pay off your mortgage in 2019! Congratulations. you are so inspiring!!!
@ljdanny that is great that you have worked out everyday! so impressive. Did you get the sneakers?
My daughter and her boyfriend are driving me to Richmond tonight to be with Molly so I can help her with her mom. I am trying to make arrangements for Monday morning so I can stay the weekend. I am going to write a packing list so that I have food, drinks, treats, crochet and anything else I may need. Probably a sleeping blanket and warm clothes. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the well wishes. Also taking my yoga mat even if I have to do it outside.4 -

Not bad activity-wise considering it snowed ALL day. Today is beautifully sunny but cold. The snow is so pretty when its fresh and white. Our snow is often quite dry so its like shoveling powdered sugar. Its rather rare for us to get the wet snow like you folks on the east coast.
Logging has become a real conundrum for me. In the beginning it was such an educational experience. Its so much easier when I'm eating the same thing over and over. But with hubby home I cook a lot of different recipes and if it can't be accurate I've gotten to where I don't want to log it. Last night I made a shrimp dish found on Pinterest that I think is likely pretty healthy but no way it would be in MFP's database. I need to figure out a solution going forward in January.4 -
Now my daughters boyfriend is in ER w chest pain. I’m going to have to wait till tomorrow morning to go to Richmond. Plus I have a small headache...so tomorrow it is.
Where r the fun Friday photos??? I will post mine shortly.

Fun Friday...crocheting a new snow hat.6 -
@Mrsbell8well I actually thought about learning how to crochet, because it seems like making stuff could be fun, but I doubt I'd be able to learn how! I would probably get frustrated and quit.3
-
@CassieGetsFit2013 .
Crocheting is not hard if you can tie a knot and make loops. Yes it can be frustrating if you make mistakes and take it apart several times like I did but it feels good when you finish a project. Give it a try3 -
Did ok at dinner last night but then woke up with a horrible head cold. I still feel terrible! Had too much sodium and sugar today between the soup and the sugar in my tea and just carbs from toast etc. I am exhausted so I am heading to bed now. No exercise and my steps are very low. Hoping to wake up feeling better. Have a good night everyone!
@czvanut Welcome! You took a great first step towards accountability by joining here. We are a very supportive group. Please join in on our convo even though you don’t start until January. Glad you are here!
@shirin_k. Nice loss!!
@lidanny-great job maintaining during the holidaysI catch myself thinking that it doesn’t count if my Fitbit isn’t on! Lol! Sounds like you are doing great! Let’s finish December strong! Hope you are feeling better!
@mandi5512 glad the little guy is feeling better. No worries if you gain, just get right back at it!
@nstephenson01 you still had a loss for the month. This month was tough but we got through it! You with a loss too! Great job! Sometimes you can get lucky with Pinterest and they post the nutritional label. Sometimes I just do the best I can with the ingredients calories and divide by serving amount.
@mrsbell8well-you can really see a difference in those yoga pics although you look great in both pictures. I need to think about my 2018 and 2019. I loved all that you have accomplished and what your goals are for 2019 sorry to hear about Molly’s mom. I will keep praying. I am glad you are going to be able to go and help Molly too. She is going to need a lot of support. Hope your daughters boyfriend is ok too! Hugs to you all!
@lennoncpa Nice loss!
I love your monthly goals!
A thing that helps me get my water in is I like to always keep a cup of thermos of water around to sip on. You’d be surprised how much you drink just sipping throughout the day. Good luck!
@lyssysho26 thanks for checking in. It sounds like you are doing all that you should be. Hang in there!
@cyndiesstuff. Thanks Cyndie! I wasn’t expecting to be off radar that long! Hope that book helps. Seems like more and more we have to figure out what is going on with ourselves
@carlsoda-Hope you are feeling better. I am not feeling well either I didn’t do well on steps at all today. I am going to bed right after I get off here. how exciting to be so close to your goal! Financial and physical! 2019 is going to be your year!
@bbcbw- you did great this month!
@phoebe112476 your pic made me lol! I love my carbs unfortunately!
@pacsnc6 we will change your weigh in date. With so much going on it is hard to be in a good routine! Hopefully you can get back on track this week.
@eyesopennow. That’s not too bad. I agree, I resisted a lot but all the eating out and having holiday meals add up.
@danananas. A little over a pound isn’t bad for Christmas time.2 -

I am so glad this week is over. I hate to be wishing the days away. But I am. I am nervous about starting this new eating plan. I am not sure how it is going to work. There is definitely going to be a learning curve. And that is what is bothering me. I am so fatigued. How do I get the energy? Maybe i spend today working on a menu. I will try. I am already get negative feedback from the ole boy. This won't be easy.
@ljdanny sometimes vacations are meant for exactly what you did. Taken it easy and doing it in your time. That is ok. everyone needs down time. did you get those new sneakers to go with that fitbit?
@carlsoda I am glad you are on the mend. Ahhh and back to work after a holiday is usually lots of work where i am at to. That is a great goal for 2019. I have been working on that same thing. Every month i pay extra on the principal. Yes! a healthy weight! beautiful goal. Slow and steady wins the race girl.
@Mrsbell8well look at the new you go. planning ahead for a tough trip. very mindful. love it. ohhh man, i hope he is ok. how is mil? love the winter leggens! sooo cute.
@eyesopennow i love it that you do yoga. it so good for your body. good job at taking care of you.
@nstephenson01 you right our snow is usually pretty wet. but it makes for a great snow man. now my dog loves the light fluffy stuff. as for logging, start creating your own recipes in mfp. it is time consuming at first but once the recipes are in there you can reuse them and it is pretty close to accurate.
@sleepymom5 ohhh nooo i hope your not getting sick for the new year. sometimes rest is the best thing for you. take care.
@Mandi5512 i agree. a maintain is a good thing. now kick it into gear sister and start the new year with a bang!!

I have been off all week long. Yesterday was the first day I didn’t touch chocolate but I def had some greasy fries and chicken and some pastry
I’m done though. I’ll be fully committed again. It’s been a rough week and here I thought I was strong enough to have some junk and knew when to stop.
NOPE. Not there yet.7 -

Morning all! Yesterday was a good day, made it through work got in my steps and yoga and watched a couple of run shows on Netflix - I highly recommend Watership Down. Not for little kids though!
I am forming some plans for 2019 - I am thinking of doing a low carb Whole 30. I have a couple more days to form my plans, but I essentially eat this way anyhow, just need to make a couple of changes!4 -

Water: A lot...water and tea
Exercise & Steps: No exercise and very low steps-3276
I am still not feeling well so this will be quick, I am not sure if I will exercise or hit my steps again today. I just want to sleep. I really just have a bad cold that struck when I was at my friends house and got worse as the day went on. I had to stop for medicine and tea to get through my 2.5 hour trip home. I am not going to lie, I am disappointed my weight is up. If it was any other week, I wouldn't care as much but it is the end of the month and the years so I was hoping for a loss. I actually gained more like two from Monday. I am hoping it is because I had a lot of carbs and chicken soup yesterday. Maybe the sodium? We are going to the shore for New Years but not sure when we are leaving. I am not in a rush as 1. I am sick and 2. the sooner we go, the sooner the eating out and drinking starts. We also don't want to leave our 18yo home alone. Not quite sure we trust her enough yet lol! Might have to ship her off to one of her siblings Lol! My don Danny just got a puppy so I am sure she would love to go there. She always says her oldest sister Nicole is her "3rd parent" . Lol! Oh well, rest and lots of fluids today for me. If I feel better later, I want to get on my new bike. It is pretty cool but still have a lot to figure out. I was trying to do a video the other day, I was peddling away and next thing I know the guy is on the floor doing a plank. I want to preview the videos so I know what to expect. The resistance was too high too so I adjusted it but then it stayed at that level instead of going with the video anymore. It is confusing and no real instructions so maybe trying to figure it out is a good thing to do on a sick day. Hope everyone enjoys the last weekend in 2019!
@Mandi5512 A maintain is good this time of year!
@cyndiesstuff Can you break it down to more manageable steps? I am thinking if you don't try it, you are always going to wonder if it would work. However, if it is too crazy, there is nothing set in stone saying you have to try. I have heard wonderful things about the anti inflammatory diet but I also know it may be months before you see results but the results are astounding. Hang in there! Hugs! Love your pics! I was thinking of a bon fire last night, but I took my sniffling self to bed. Mack is the cutest! Love that pic!
@lenka1 Nice loss, especially this time of year.
@carlsoda You did have a great day yesterday! I really need to look ahead and figure out what I am going to do. The whole 30 I have never tried but I have heard good things about it. Good luck and keep us posted if you like it or not2 -
Not to pat me and @cyndiesstuff on the back but this has been my favorite challenge since I have been on F2F. It was actually Cyndie's idea and I helped tweak it a little. If you didn't realize, each team has to present a challenge for all the teams to do each month. If anyone ever has any ideas, we would love to hear your input.
Here are my last two-
Fun Festivities Friday
I love taking Dasiy to the beach, she loves to run and go in the ocean. She is only allowed on the beach Oct-May sadly.
Silly Saturday-
Daisy as a butterfly on Halloween. She puts up with a lot! Lol!
