WAIST AWAYS - NOVEMBER CHAT

I'm actually going to be having a Thanksgiving meal in the US tomorrow. For many years, my husband took his mother out every year to a restaurant in Newport, Vermont that puts on a mean Thanksgiving buffet. She moved up to Canada after being widowed (in 2001) and always missed her home country. She never got used to Canadian Thanksgiving being in October, so she and my husband always went out every year. I was always at work! She just passed away in June, and we decided to keep up the tradition anyhow - in her honour, we'll head on down to Newport tomorrow and have a good meal. They apparently have plenty of veggies and a good choice of foods, so I should be able to find things I like. I haven't lived in the US since 1977, but all my family is still there, and it will be fun to celebrate this holiday for the first time in ages.
@jugar Funny you mention Newport, Vermont. I once had a boyfriend who moved there and was fortunate enough to get to visit twice after he moved. Once was on Thanksgiving (uh 41 years ago - Oh Lord!) and again at Christmas. It's so beautiful. His family lived on a hill over looking the lake. By Christmas, the lake was frozen and they could snow mobile across it into town.
Today was rainy and gray. I was busy getting a few recipes made in advance of tomorrow. Turkey will go in late morning. It's low key for us as well. My son and his gf can't come until Saturday, so we'll do an almost redo then. Looking forward to the whole family together. Lots of time on my feet in the kitchen. Plus toddler chasing. Tired. Everyone have a great Thanksgiving or Thursday. And @Terytha have a fabulous time at your party on Friday.1 -
Well, where I am the day is ending. I hope you all had a good one.
HEADS UP for weigh-ins! Probably a good idea to do them EARLY in the morning if you're celebrating tomorrow! If you have to miss this week because of travel or whatever, just let me know!

Have a great day everyone! We might not enjoy our weigh-ins for the next few days, but please enjoy today, whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving, at work as usual, or wherever you may be. We're having a beautiful new coating of that white stuff this morning, and crazy wind to keep things exciting. Looks like a postcard around here.2

I’m not surprised there was no loss but I am ok with it because of all the food I have eaten. We had our Thanksgiving meal at church which was fried fish, French fries, hush puppies, fried okra and everyone brought a side dish. There was also two tables of desserts! Of course yesterday we had Thanksgiving at my moms! I want to be a loser all of December. 😁2 -

Have a great holiday weekend!

Happy Friday!
I know it is almost over, at least where I live, and it is pitch black outside way before dinner. But I have been out and about helping my son get his new digs ready before he moves this weekend. Luckily only 5 miles away.
You are all amazing today! Some great weigh-ins in spite of the week. Looking at you @Steph1498 @Gidgitgoescrazy @AmyRobF @Pearl4686 @cory17 and @fourathomej -- NOT ONE OF YOU PUT ON WEIGHT!!! And @Shexio - that was some tiny bit, so no worries! Even I was surprised this morning, took off .4 - not much, but I'll take it after the crazy buffet I went to yesterday.
And that is Some serious training @Safari_Gal_ !
Great spirit too - thank you all again for being there. We're almost at the end of November, and I am totally looking forward to December with a couple of new people added into the mix, and it sounds like some renewed energy, right @Pearl4686 @evangsimmons170 and @AmyRobF ? You got this. End of December? Even if it isn't a lot, you're going to have a smaller number on that spreadsheet - I feel it in my bones!
A few more weigh ins and the month is a wrap:

@AmyRobF sounds like you had a Texas Thanksgiving dinner indeed! 😄 Is that where you were or some other southern state?2 -

I know I didn’t do all the right things, but I didn’t do all the wrong things either. Didn’t even have pie🥧 😩 AND it hasn’t even been three weeks and I have my period AGAIN!! Peri menopause sucks! No period for 6 months, then three times since October. ☹️
And today my son and his gf are coming up and we’re doing Thanksgiving all over again. 🤦🏻♀️2 -

Doesn't that make you crazy? But just think how great it is going to look in the first December weigh-in next Saturday if you start a bit higher
I know that is a terrible consolation, but we take what we can get, eh? And it would have been worse if you had pie. Really. Good luck today!!!! 1 -

It's Thanksgiving week. I accept it. Moving on.....A positive note is that I did go to the gym 3x this week so far. I worked out on the elliptical machine each time and increased my time by a few minutes each time. I plan to go again some time today with the goal of working out through an entire episode (45 minutes) of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
This week's steps so far....I'll update with today's steps later this evening.

But it is true, a good exciting episode of something makes the time go by. This is what I do on my exercise bike in the evenings sometimes. We don't have any cable or TV, but if it is within the week it is aired, I can watch an episode of the couple of shows I like for free. We have a really iffy internet connection here though, and sometimes my 45 minute episode takes almost an hour! The spinning circle of doom - but I try to pedal harder to encourage it to come back on quickly

Well, this was a really wild Saturday morning.
Today my son is moving down to my mother-in-law's former house (she passed away in June) about 5 miles from here. We got a lot of stuff moved yesterday, had a bit of an adventure driving up to the house in the snow that was falling last night, but he got another load moved this morning. But then he couldn't make it back up the hill (it's about a half mile), and he and my husband spent a few hours getting it unstuck and the road cleared somewhat. It snowed about 8 inches overnight, so I'm not sure what made my son think he could make it up in the first place, but he was determined! Well, he got the final load done and is now down there settling in. He has lived away from home before while studying, but only in a single room with shared kitchen and bathroom. This is the first time he'll have a place to himself, and he is really excited. And wants NO HELP FROM MOM.
Needless to say, I just bade a big batch of cookies and will bring them by later.
Of course, making cookies is never a good idea if you are me. I don't think I'll need any lunch! And I WILL get out on the snowshoes now that there is enough snow again. My fave workout - and it looks like a postcard or a Christmas card out there. Have a lovely day, everyone - and go on over to the December chat to introduce yourselves and declare what goals and commitments you have for December. As of tomorrow, that is our new home for the month. Final weigh-ins here please!1
