JB,that was a riot!!!! those will keep me laughing through the holidays,
i cut up some apples that were going bad and took them down to the donkeys sheep and goats at the farm....they went bonkers:bigsmile:
took the stuff to the dump, and got the car mostly packed, going to drop key off to my brother, then take Homer to the vet for the shot, and then pick up chester at the groomers and then come home and get dinner together0 -
Katla and Molly and anyone else who is interested -
JOHN WARD - "The Glint of Silver" and "The Wide Embrace" . Both on Kindle and paperback.
They are detective novels set in the Anglo Saxon era in England. The heroine is a feisty young woman called Winfreth who is always poking her nose in where she is not wanted. VERY reasonably priced!
Katla - look up Christmas Pudding by somebody reliable, like Delia Smith. This year we used a recipe from John's aged aunt, which must be quite old, but we had one she'd made last year and it was delicious so we asked for the recipe. You should make it now for it to mature. On the day, after it has steamed again for two hours we turn it on to a dish and pour burning warmed brandy over it. Especially good if you turn down the lights! This year I have bought indoor whooshing sparklers to put in it for DGS to admire. Longing to see his face!
DH has just cleaned out the fridge so it is all shiny inside now.
My job is to do the ovens.:frown:
Emailed off a list of books to my sons for them to give me for Christmas. One year I sent the same list to them both so got the same ones!! ! ! !:noway: Now I make sure I tick them off my list as I go. :bigsmile:
I checked out my maintenance calories todsy on a different website and found I had been eating very close to maintenance. No wonder I wasn't losing any weight!:embarassed: :ohwell: So now I'm definitely on 1450 until that 0.5 lb goes!:laugh:

Hello to all: Whoo-hoo! It is supposed to get up to 27F today. I got my truck back, it is running again but today I must go put gas and fuel conditioner in it so hopefully it will not gel again. If temps get in the below zero range again I will just have my DH take me to work and not take the truck.
Buying lots of gift cards this year as we are traveling for Christmas. Got a bunch of those bought and mailed today. More Christmas cards to send out though. I can hardly believe we leave next Wednesday. I am anxious about getting from Sioux Falls to Minneapolis and then getting out of Minneapolis but once we are out of there I will be able to relax. Looking forward to spending time with family and especially DGD.
Heather - The books sound interesting. Will have to put them on my list to read.
Margaret - I take magnesium that was prescribed by a doctor years ago for muscle cramps. I have tried cutting it down a few times but then get cramps again so I continue to take it.
Grandmallie - Hang in there and have a wonderful and safe trip to Florida.
Fun to read about everyone's preparations for the holidays.

Cindy, your story reminded me of The Biggest Loser this week. One team was given a temptation of bakery items. One of the contestants was going to eat and his team mates threw them in the trash can. They knew that he would just get them out so they poured dish washing soap on top of them.
Started my antibiotic yesterday afternoon and I already feel better. I have a different kind of sinus infection than most and years ago my eye, nears and throat doctor discovered it. But in the mean time my genes passed the same kind of infection to both my daughters. They love me for it:laugh:
My youngest daughter will come over and help up put up our tree. I'm getting kind of bored with my old ornaments. They hold no sentimental value to me so I may go out and get me some more. I have some that were my Mom's when she was a little girl. One of my ornaments is an egg my brother made years ago when he lived away and unable to come home. I think they lived out in Washington state at the time. That's where his sub was based. Anyway, he took eggs, blew the yolk out and made ornaments. My Mom's had a nativity scene inside. When my daughter was married her husband was ADD and treated anything with no respect at all. I never let him touch that egg.

Good Morning. It is to be up to 39 today. I am off today and been to the chiropractor this morning. I have not had good food days the last couple days. Yesterday was really bad. So today I am deep breathing and taking it slow. I have acouple gifts to get yet and just not in the mood so will waite till next week. This afternoon two of the DGDs have their school concerts they go to the same school, one is kindergraden and the other first. I do enjoy watching the kids. DH is hoping to get off it time to go.
Sandy-- Happy 1st Birthday and congrates on the weight loss. You are doing great and getting to the Y, I admire that. Hope your headache is gone soon.
Susan-- Sometimes I wish I lived 100 years ago when things were so much simpler.(not sure that is a word) but then I know I would not do well with plumping, heat and AC. We have it so easy.
Gail--Prayers for your friend from church.
Meg--HUGS:sad: Hope you feel better soon. I think time is going by so fast and it is easy to get down. I have been having down feelings the last couple days and when I try and think about why as I have so much to be Thankful for. I love Christmas and try and share with the DGC things that have to do with the reason we have Christmas. I have several speical memories of when I was growing up, but when my son was growing up things were not easy and I find myself feeling bad for not making speical memories for him. But I am trying better with the grandchildren. Maybe I am more laid back, but gulit gets to me sometimes.
Margaret-- Good for you playing Santa for your sister. I also lost my sister 8 years ago. She had three children and at the time she passes one grandson. Since then 4 more. So I send them Christmas and Birthdays so they know this side of the family loves them and remembers thier mom.
Heather-- Glad your brother and you have been able to arrange a lunch date. I agree about just getting a signed card. I make out a Christmas letter and try and add something personal.
Mamma--Hugs:flowerforyou: It is not easy dealing with parents as they age. I agree having the doctor check out your mom and talk to her is a good idea. Has she always acted this way or is this something that has just started happening.
yanniejannie--Glad to hear DD's car is fixed. I don't care how old our children are we still worry about them and want to make things good for them.
Sylvia--I thought the light falling snow we got last Saturday was so pretty. I think it is cute they thought your DH had a thinner girlfriend. People sometimes are so quick to judge, but I know several people have told me they did not realize it was me since I have lost the weight.
Michele--You getting cramps and your period concerns me. Be sure and just check with the doctor. It could be nothing or something they can take care of easy. I know if I got mine again I would be at the doctor the next day. And just before mine stopped I was having so much trouble that I had to carry acouple changes of clothes with me whenever I left the house. Acouple years ago we got a Christmas card and letter in Janurary. It just seemed werid. I am learning the older I get the more I don't like change.
Katla--Congrates on the good news about your hand. I had a hairline FX of my thumb from the car accident last month.They had me wear a brace for acouple weeks.
Joyce--sounds like you were to have that bike. Refund just at the right time. God's Blessings at work/
Grandmallie--wrapping in hugs. Remember you are a good person. Glad you found out what is going on with DH. I pray that your trip is relaxing.
Well really need to get something done and be ready to go the school . Have a good day and stay warm and take care of yourselves. We each need to remember we are good people and worth the effort.
Blessed! Vicki GI NE0 -
Just a quick pop on...........couldn't resist. On Good Morning America this am they had a tape of a Canadian boy from a Montreal radio station, age 16, doing Elvis' Blue Christmas...........had to share it; you won't believe this; he's even better (if such a thing is possible!!)

It's from Dec. 11 and the singer's name is David Thibault (or Thibeault, found it both ways); the radio djs are speaking in French but the song is in English.
ENJOY!!0 -
Hi Everyone!
Don't know where my day went! No time to visit here, just wanted to say hi to everyone.
I have really got to get going on my wrapping and decorating! So late this year! I am beginning to feel like the Grinch! :bigsmile:

I had a great group of students today while subbing. The most challenging one had a great day!0

I wasn't going to post but got on another site and posted the following then though I should post it here since I spend most of my free time here.
I was wondering if there are any others here with no support at home. I am married to an Italian who loves to cook and was a chef once. He refuses to cook anything from my plan and encourages me to eat junk food, drink alcohol, and eat 'fat food'. He actually gets mad if I do not. Last night he intimidated me into having a piece of pie. Well, I have an addiction to sweets and even though the pie was sugar free (he bought it for me), it was still sweet and I ended up eating half of it! Just writing this gives me the urge to finish the pie tonight when I get home from work! He makes me feel guilty if I don't eat what he wants me to eat. I am trying portion control which works for everything but sweets for me. They are my trigger food and I must avoid them if I want to lose. He even is going so far as to try to get me to stop going to Curves! I love going there, it is on my way to work, and my time to go there works for me so I will not stop!
Anyone else out there with this type of problem! I really don't want to feel alone in this. Maybe we can encourage each other?
Rita from CT0 -
Rita, so sorry he is sabotaging you..
keep going to Curves, and if you have to keep a stash of food that you like, even if it is in your car..
all I can tell you is to be firm in your convictions. Dont let him bully you(like I should talk) you got a friend in me girlfriend you know that..
I haven't been doing great over the last few days,but once we get on the road and get to florida will be right back on track with alot of exercise and eating right...
0 -
Hi gals. I won't be able to be here much at all today and tomorrow, but please know I'll be sending good thoughts your way. Take care meg0
-
Rita, sorry for that situation. Is he always home when you are? I've been known to say thanks / delish, and then dump something down the disposal when I have no witnesses, just to keep the peace. Or take it to work (or wherever) and dump it elsewhere.
DeeDee - I just read farther back and saw your question. Yesterday and today have been wild, but at least not WOOLY! He'll be back tomorrow.

Hello everyone. I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I am 52 years old and I am about 20-25 pounds overweight. I have actually lost about 20 pounds already but I am just plain stuck. Stuck in motivation, struggling to stop eating things I KNOW I shouldn't, struggling with my health a bit. About a year ago I found out that I have high blood pressure and my cholesterol was a bit too high. This is partially inherited as all my immediate family members except my mom has the same problem. My dad has had a few heart attacks and is not in good health now. I don't want to become limited like he is.
I try hard to eat better foods. Very few processed foods, eat a lot of fruits and a decent amount of veggies. No pork, only beef in small quantities, chicken and turkey. My biggest downfall is sweets. Even after a good meal I crave sweets.
Like I said, I lost 20 pounds but I am having a hard time now sticking to a plan. I lost using Weight Watchers and I know that tracking my food works for me. But, due to boredom or something I just keep grabbing things like toast with homemade jam, or the most evil of all... Mountain Dew. '
Hoping to get to know all of you and finally kick this weight loss into gear.

:flowerforyou: I have been thinking all day about what it must have been like to live in cold temperatures before electricity other kinds of furnaces……yesterday morning I talked to a friend who had been deer and elk hunting in temperatures way below freezing and had stayed in a tent with a wood stove to keep them warm. I am so grateful for my furnace and heat pump.
:flowerforyou: So many of you have much colder and snowier and icier weather than we have here……I am grateful every morning that I can take the dogs out and that I have the right clothing to keep me warm. When it gets below freezing I wear Jake’s rain pants over my jeans and long johns. I have an indoor/outdoor thermometer in the bathroom so when I get dressed first thing in the morning to take the dogs out, I can see the outdoor temperature and decide what extra layers I need to add to my outfit.
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: Jb, I love your new song…..I think I saved the lyrics from the ones from last year….I’ll have to go look for them.

Heather---Oh my! I want Christmas Pudding!!!!! I could eat a whole one all by myself. Made them last year and gave a couple away to friends. Christmas Pudding is on my last meal list. The royal iced and fondet Christmas cake sounds wonderful. I can visualize the decorations and how thrilled children would be to see a cake like that on Christmas day! I would be giddy! EEK! Wonderful memories for your family!
Patohce- I think you have to do what Barbie does and that is throw out any food in the house that is processed, sugary or sabotages your healthy eating. Barbie said when she got serious with her eating habits, she threw out her muffin pans, baking rounds and anything that would facilitate the ability to bake sweets. I had to clear out the processed stuff and not buy any flour or sugar. My Dad likes to eat junk and I try my best to cook fresh for him, then he says, pick up some Pringles for me when you go to Walgreens. Arghhhh.
Kevrit- Have you had any blood work done where you can show your DH the results? If you have high cholesterol or triglycerides, pre-diabetic... the results on paper may influence his cooking healthy for you. Maybe show him how you want to bring those numbers in to normal range and diet is critical. Just a thought.
Going to read the message board and see what wackiness in going on tonight.

Did 1 hr of Jari Love Ripped and Chiseled DVD today. Tomorrow I'll do deep water class. Today I need to stop at the soup kitchen, give them my last donation for this year along with a printout of my donations for the year then go to the post office to mail Christmas cards. Tomorrow before the water class I'll stop at CVS (or maybe after the class, not sure, depends on the time) to get Cheerios. They're on sale and I have a $5 coupon. So even tho Cheerios are usually quite high in price, with the coupon they won't be that bad.
Susan Richter - I like to list the titles of my DVD's if I can because it's just so easy to say "did a Jari Love DVD", well, which one? I'm constantly on the lookout for ideas for new DVD and books (I put the one "Mindful Eating" (is that the title?) on my wish list at Amazone so maybe I'll get it for Christmas. How wonderful that you are advocating for your father! I have another question for anyone: how did people in Florida (especially the southern part) survive temps in July and August before air conditioning????
patcoh - when I get a food gift that I really don't care for, I just donate it to the soup kitchen. Actually, I donate a lot to them, better on their hips than mine is how I feel....lol I know that's terrible...but it's also true.
DeeDee - good for you freezing the Snickers! Guess I'm partial to any Mars product siinse helps (very very little) to pay Vince's pension....lol
Cindy - congrats on holding your plank for a minute! You'll build yourself up, that's for sure. I've been at holding mine for 2 min 30 seconds now for quite a while. Maybe after the holidays I'll be able to do more. Congrats on throwing that pie away. I know how hard it can be, but in the end it's worth it.
Went to the soup kitchen today, then the post office, then had some time so I went to CVS. They had Cheerios on sale 3/$9 so I got 2 boxes (large boxes). I used my $5 coupon plus I had another $1 off coupon, so in the end I only paid for the tax. Then went to WalMart. Boy, are they particular about coupons! Well, I had bought some spaghetti on sale and used my coupon so it wound up being free, so I returned it there and got some other food items that I needed. Then home and made this rosemary shortbread for tomorrow. Because it has rosemary in it, I am thinking that it is something that should be with the dinner. But shortbread? I always thought of that as a cookie. Now I have some cornbread muffins in the oven for Christmas Eve.
Tomorrow I'll stop at BiLo and get what I need, I need the meat for tomorrow night so I'll get it then, less for my refrigerator.
Oh, I remember having to use the outhouse when we went to see my cousin's grandmother in PA.
jb - what wonderful lyrics! Made me smile. Thanks so much for that, I needed it around now.
grandmalle - safe travels
Heather - last year this worked out well so I did it again this year. I sent the kids a link to my Amazon wish list. They then send an email to Vince and everyone else in the family of what they got so no one else gets that item. Too funny you sent the same list!
yanniejannie - thanks for the link for the song. Beautiful!
Rita - I feel so behind, too. I think part of it is the fact that Thanksgiving was so late this year. My heart goes out to you not having support from your hubby. As a chef, can you give him the challenge that he can't make a dish that tastes good AND be healthy? Can he resist a challenge???? Bet that he can't do it, and see what happens!
I just prelogged my food, am just a bit over on calories. I honestly didn't feel like I had a lot but those darn calories add up. I will be SOOO glad when these holidays are over.
janemartin - we always used to get a real tree. We'd go to the tree farm in October, tag the tree that we wanted, then went back in December and had it cut down. The kids always thought the greatest part of getting that tree was riding in the tractor!
Welcome Lisa!

Here's another one :laugh: a remake of the popular Christmas song, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"
♫ I saw Mommy eat a Snickers bar, underneath the mistletoe last night,
She didn't mean to cheat, she thought she'd be discreet,
The package rattled, thus she tattled, waking me from sleep;
Then I saw Mommy grab some cookies, too; a piece of fudge and then a slice of pie!
Oh, what a cry she's gonna wail, when she gets on the scale!
Mommy's bound for pounds this Chrisssstmas time! ♫

My husband is the same. We are both independent so we each fend for ourselves! Thank God I have home nurses coming in daily. The second day home from the hospital I was told to make my own dinner! I have to tell him firmly and often that I cannot do some of the things I used to and I won't compromise my health for him. That is where I draw the line in the sand! It gets lonely sometimes carrying the load by yourself- you have to remind yourself of your successes to give continued motivation! I think many husbands feel threatened when their wives change their lifestyles and start losing- especially if they have no motivation to do so themselves!0

Just read the "Let it Go" song. Hilarious! I'm going to forward that to all my girlfriends!
I saw this on our local station this week: Granny Loves to Hunt. I hope I'm in that good of shape when I'm 98

I took a good long walk out in our sunny but chilly neighborhood. Then came home and filled our kindling box. Still lots to do before I meet my DD this afternoon.
Cindy
I looked this one up and loved it. Thanks for sharing. Granny is an amazing woman.0 -
I guess I am glad in a way that we do eat out every night. Yes, we eat out, I am a diabetic and eat out. We both fix our own breakfast and lunch and then go out and he orders what he wants for supper and I order what I want. I have hoped through watching me that he would learn something but he isn't. Now we do buy much more healthy at the grocery store so what he eats at home is usually a lot healthier. He eats my 35 calorie bread, uses my I can't believe it's not butter, eats my weight watchers duge bars and 100 calorie popcorn. So he is eating healthier.
He called his insurance today and they did find his cardiologist on the insurance so he is covered on that. Also when he called the DR office they said that the insurance did accept one doctor in his group as a provider so that any patient wouldn't have to leave the practice, just change physicians.
I can just kick myself for being such a procrastinator. After jsut 4 does of my antibiotic my sinuses are so much better. I have only taken one cough drop today. My sister says that on the phone my voice still sounds like I have congestion but I really don't feel it and I'm not blowing out all that stuff, Sorry, to much info. Looking forward to getting my bike this weekend. It will really help on those days I don't feel like going out or the weather doesn't like me. It is supposed to snow and rain this weekend though and I hope it doesn't make this woman change her mind about meeting us at her storage facility.
Found me a good Christmas station on Pandora tonight. I like the old stuff,
Joyce, indiana0 -
Vit F friends - :flowerforyou: I have lost that pesky 0.5 lb! :drinker: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:
Phew! That took 4 days of upping the cardio a bit and eating 1450 cals. See, the science does work! :laugh:
Now only one lb to my 4 stone. You will hear. my shriek of delight as far as Alaska! :laugh:
Part of me wants to get it done by Christmas, but I am telling myself, this is for Life, not just for Christmas, so I shall just keep on as best I am able and not stress.
Still got to do the weight training this morning, but I am resting after my cardio.
Michele - I love the titles of your videos. You are a wonder. When I saw your photo I had real arm envy, they certainly do look "Ripped" !! ! ! ! ! ! :flowerforyou:
Kevrit - strength to you. :flowerforyou: I agree with the person who said as a chef he should take on a challenge. How about a bet? He is so afraid you are going to get slim and leave him. But most men can't resist a challenge. I have found with my DH that it is best to plant a little seed of an idea, just casually, and then walk away from it as if it's no big deal. It lets the little seed grow, rather than having a long discussion about something they are stubborn about. If it affects his ego he might think about it and the seed will start to push at him. Next time you bring it up his vanity as a chef will have been working at him.
I think we all have to find ways to manage our men and the older they get the more set in their ways they are. And of course every one is different. I did learn after my first marriage ended that praising them for things they do well does go a long way. I didn't do that before and learnt the hard way how much they need to feel appreciated. Now I am much better at it and, having made a conscious effort to change, it is now a good habit.
Of course some men are just lost causes or downright evil and then it is the time to leave. Most are just a bit lost and inadequate and some are paragons, but I haven't met many of those!! ! ! ! !:laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile:
Good luck and love to all who are struggling.
A bit of present wrapping today I think.
Love Heather in dreary Hampshire UK

From the land of ten thousand frozen lakes,
I am subbing again today. I was able to do a quick read through the posts. My thoughts are with you as many of us try to stay warm, handle the stresses of the season, stresses of relationships, food temptations, and finding humor too.
My intentional act of kindness today will to go out of my way to be kind to the school secretary today I know how difficult their job is. I also want to send prayers to the town of Sandy Hook and to all the school children who struggle with bullying. I would like to think of tomorrow as another world's children's day. As a day to celebrate all children.0 -
Morning everyone,
Just marking my spot. I've got lots to do today. "Philomena" was one of those movies I just can't quite make up my mind about. I'm not going to say anymore because I don't want to be a "spoiler". Judy Dench was excellent in the role. I did enjoy the characters. It is just that being based on a true story its a little sad. For those of you who don't know its about a birth mother trying to find her little boy that she was forced to give up.
I'm a little stressed out today. I have prayed and asked that I not find my solace in food but look to the true source of peace.
So off to exercise and then do house work and food prep.
I've got to meet my son at "Lowes" @ 2:00 He is going to let me use his discount and I'm going to see about getting DD a fireplace screen and tools so she can actually have a fire if she wants one. She still has some wood left at her house by the previous owners. Although it is hard to buy stuff for her because she is so picky. I guess I'll just get it and keep the receipts so she can change it if she wants.
I hope everyone has a good day.
And Lord help all of us with a sweet tooth to step away from temptation!
Cindy0 -
TGIF~~Going to meet my knitting buddies to get the gifts we made for the school kids ready to hand out next week.
Boys get hats in their school color and girls get roses in the school color on headbands.
Still tired from yesterday`s long day.
Have a good one

Joyce: You’ve made a lot of positive changes in your food at home. I’ve always found that the grocery store was my best line of defense. If I don’t bring home junk food, it doesn’t tempt me. Congratulations on improving your health and also your DH’s health because he’s also eating your healthy foods. It is frustrating that his choices aren’t as healthy as you‘d like when you eat out. The bottom line is that we can’t choose good health for someone else. I learned this the hard way from my cigarette-addicted parents.
Heather: Congratulations on the lost half pound!:flowerforyou: :bigsmile:
Grandmallie: Good luck for a safe road trip.:flowerforyou:
Cindy: Good luck buying for DD. I bet she’ll love your fire screen. Keeping receipts is ALWAYS a good idea. :flowerforyou:
JB and Janie: Thanks for the great songs.:flowerforyou:
It has warmed up and gotten wetter. Hoorah for the absence of black-ice and snow. :bigsmile: I hope to get out and get some shopping done soon. Our little town hasn’t got a lot of shopping opportunities. Our new freezer and refrigerator will both be delivered this afternoon. The old freezer will be going to a family member in a few months. I wasn’t able to find anyone to take the old refrigerator, so they’ll be hauling it away. It makes me a little sad to “waste” it’s potential but did what I could. It is old enough to vote and I guess it is old enough to retire. :ohwell: I am foolishly attached to things sometimes.:embarassed:
