Hello gals. This will be very short; I am exhausted after teaching for 4 hours today; tomorrow is 6 hours and then I'm done with the classroom part. Just waiting for grading. I was up 0.6 pounds, but that's ok after all the thanksgiving I had. I'm happy it was not more!
I read all your posts. Welcome to all the new ladies. Heather I think it was you who said I should post a new profile pic. maybe at the 45 pound mark! But I do have a nice one from Thanks giving if I can figure out how to post it. Any one want to give me directions? And remember, I'm a dinosaur!!! Take care Meg from Omaha where it is supposed to sleet tonight.
I don't know how to post a picture to the group, but I do know how to add one to my home page. If I can do it, you can. Go to your home page, and follow the directions. Go to your profile and edit pictures.0 -
Sorry I've been away. I was almost afraid to look at what page we're on right now.
Susan - my grandparents came to the US from Poland. To this day I regret the fact that they didn't teach me Polish. But I fully understand their thinking "we're in America, in America we speak English". My grandfather never really did learn English. At first that was fine, he could get along. but in the end he had to go to the hospital and there wasn't anyone who could translate for him. It was sad, but it was his decision not to learn English. They had it rough and I really have to hand it to them. To come to a foreign country, strange language, strange foods...but they still had a good life. I like the fitness DVD's better than the Wii, but the Wii is good for a change. To play on the Wii, you need the full setup along with the balance board. It was a gift to me from Vince, so I really don't know how much it was. I'm thinking like $150. I don't do all of Jillian Michael's DVD's. I don't care for kickboxing. The ones I have of hers I do like (burn fat, boost metabolism and some others). I personally don't know if I could take her all the time. I don't care for the strength training on the Wii, it doesn't work the opposing muscles (like it'll work biceps but not triceps). I don't know enough about yoga to know if their routine is good or not.
Sylvia - when Vince is not feeling well, you would think he was at death's door! He moans and groans around the house like you wouldn't believe! Now me? If I'm in my pajamas all day, you KNOW that I'm really sick.You had a wonderful dinner at Applebees. See, you can eat out healthily. Unfortunately, you have to request a salad without bacon, croutons or dressing.
Cindy - of course we don't have anything else to do excxept waiting around! How silly of you to think we do. Actually, Jessica wants to do a cat exchange where we meet her half way to here and then take the cats the rest of the way here while she goes to TN to see a friend. I'd like to get it down as to what day so that I make myself available and don't plan anything else.
margaretturk - hope you feel better. Glad you had a good time at the wedding.
katla - you havae no idea HOW surprised I was getting the TOM. It's like a real regular one, and I haven't had a regular one in years and years. It would start out very heavy, get lighter, and slowly dwindle down to nothing. Well, it was real heavy, now its light. I'm shocked, to say the least. How scary when your hubby has a reaction! Even before I read it, I was thinking to myself "he should just go by his blood sugar readings and not by anything else". I'm like you, I'll probably die logging food, and just like you otherwise old habits will take over
barbie - when we would take PJ to the vet, people working in the office would come in just to say "hello" to him.
Joyce - hope you feel better
Laura - that's great you can get a junior XL. Sometimes I can, too. But you have to be careful in the junior dept. I'm not 16 any more and a lot of their clothes are very "youngish". But I have been able to get some things in there.
Rita - I like that you made your goals very specific "I will do XXX and accomplish that by XXXXX and by doing XXXX"
Meg - I'm sorry you have to take statins, but that's really not all that bad.
Angie - happy birthday. Tell me more about the IF/5:2 plan.
Gail - hope the swelling is OK. Let us know, OK?
Cindy - hey, I like cold green beans. I like green beans anyway at all....lol
Cindy - tell me how dealing with adult children isn't fun. It's just so frustrating to me when they think they know it all, and don't even want to consider another point of view, that we might, just might, know a little something.
Pat - feel better fast
Welcome everyone new to a fantastic group!
auto63 - welcome, some people weigh in weekly (I'm one of them), some daily. Depends on what works for you.
Sandy - happy birthday to your daughter. Just a small piece of apple pie, you can do it.
Let's see, yesterday (mon) I did yoga, held my plank for 2 min 30 sec. and then took the extremepump class. After I got home Vince and I worked on putting out more Christmas decorations. Then at night was mahjongg. The one lady who usually leaves early because her TV show is on at 8 told us that her show is now moved to Fridays. Well, since they had at least 3 people, I didn't feel the need to have to stay real long. Maj'd twice, but then left to get some eggs at were on sale.
Today I went to the Y where I did this 20-40-60 interval workout. Basically, you recover at 3.5mph for a minute, then fast walk at 4mph for a minute, the briskly walk for 40 sec at 4.5 mph, then sprint at 5mph for 20 sec. Did this for an hour. Then went to Aldi for a bit, then home to help with more decorations. Vince right now is programming everything into the computer.
Found out that the gal who has the mahjongg on Monday nights proposed a cookie exchange at the next game. I was hoping secretly to get away without any of this. Well....I made chocolate chip cookies for Vince tonight and then these lemon cookies to take to the cookie exchange. Actually, I was going to make them for Christmas Eve so I just made a double batch. I still want to make these butter cookies too.
Have to make a banana chocolate cake for Vince later in the week.
Tomorrow I'm planning to do a step DVD then we have the Newcomer board meeting, then senior bowling, home to grab a bite to eat, then Newcomer bowling.
Michele in NC0 -
Sleepy bump for tonight... The eye is still swollen, but not any worse. Must go to bed!!
I like green beans any way - raw or cooked, so that is not a good gauge for me.
Gail, metro ATL0 -
Today was quite a day. I took my little birthday boy to the mall to see the movie Frozen, which he said he wanted to see. We were there early so we went next door to spend a few dollars at the arcade. Then paid $14 for two tickets, to the movie Free Birds because he changed his mind, $11 for one small popcorn and one small drink, then went in to the theater for the movie. After about 20 minutes of ads and previews and about 10 minutes of the actual movie, he told me he changed his mind and didn't want to see the movie at all. So I took him home. Then at 6:30 I went to the girls' school Christmas program at the big city auditorium. It was a zoo in there, with boisterous kids everywhere. I'm not used to that kind of chaos. So, I was happy to come home where it's quiet. Aaaahhhhh! But I'm glad to have this in my life. For more than five years I didn't get to see them at all.
When I got home I found hubby asleep on the bed with both dogs sleeping beside him. It was sweet.
I needed a snack so I had a pear. A snack used to be a bag of potato chips. My life has really changed.
I hope everybody is having a great evening.
Sylvia0 -
morning ladies,
had a pretty good nights sleep,yesterday was just crazy at work , i snapped at one of the girls late in the afternoon and that is not like me.. of course I apologized ,but still i felt horrible:embarassed:
having my lemon water and icing my heel, think tomorrow im going to buy myself new sneakers and buy new orthodics some how the DH cant understand that if you work on your feet and walk and exercise that you cant wear a pair of sneakers for 3-4 years0 -
Well, I have a wreath! It's very rustic :laugh: and I may add a few more berries, but I quite like it that way!
Very -'natural woodland' ! ! ! I have no means of securing it to the front door so might get DH to put a screw on the inside and hang the ribbon over the door. I don't think he wants our newly painted front door to be screwed into.:ohwell:
The evening went well, though I was pleased to have my yoga friend for moral support. We had a glass of mulled wine and the actual wreath making was really easy! Unfortunately, as it is in a primary school the chairs were really low and my back suffered.
I didn't sleep well and had to cut back on strength training today. Really annoying.:frown:
Quiet day today in preparation for our trip to London tomorrow. Soooo looking forward to seeing the grandchildren. Babies change so fast.
She should be awake more and smiling now. 
And I always love to see the wonderful relationship between DH and DGS. Magical!:flowerforyou: :happy:
We will be carrying up a sushi lunch from the station as usual and staying for dinner cooked by DS#2. Then it's a mad rush across London for the train home before it gets too late as it takes 1hr 1/5 mins back to the airport station where we park if we are going to be late. A long day, but sooo worth it. The next time we see them will be Christmas Day.
I was doing my rowing this morning and I thought I would share this with you . On the wall in front of the rower we have a large framed photo of the place where we lived for a while. Some of you Kent UK ladies will know it. Whitstable. North Kent coast. We took a photo from the beach, looking out across the estuary to the Isle of Sheppey. In the foreground are masses of wild flowers growing on the beach, then a stretch of blue water with the low hills of the island in the distance. When I am rowing I often imagine myself rowing across that water. It's a lovely feeling. I generally row about 2 3/4 miles a day. Occasionally I imagine I'm in the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race and try to do 36 strokes a minute, but that is really going some! ! ! ! :noway: Mostly I go at a leisurely 31 across my lovely water picture.:laugh: :bigsmile:
Bye for now, my beetroot lunch is calling!
Heather in drizzly Hampshire UK0 -

My granddaughter called early Thanksgiving morning just to chat with me, after we hung up, she called right back and said her mom wanted to know if she could borrow my meat thermometer, she called back a few minutes later and said her mom wanted to know if I had a roll of extra papertowels I could bring, then my daughter called me and wanted to know if I had poultry seasoning I could share:huh: …I thought about taking my entire kitchen over there:laugh: !

Heather : you don’t have to put a hole anywhere in you door. My neighbor uses a wreath hangar. Here is a link to pictures. : https://www.google.com/search?q=wreath+hangers&client=firefox-a&hs=GNE&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=CzKfUsqxJK2JiwLV5oDoCQ&ved=0CGsQsAQ&biw=838&bih=764
Katla in beautiful NW Oregon
December goals:
1. Log every bite and swallow
2. Focus on fitness: cardio and strength every week
3. Drink at least 3 glasses of water every day0 -
Good morning Ladies
day 5 of logging I live your thread I will have to try taking note to remember all of you.
Someone posted on the tread they have a wreath to hang but doesn't want to put a hole in her fresh paint.
I don't know if you have tried the 3m hooks but I think they work great without having to make holes.
I love Sam Champion also so I will miss seeing him in the morning.
Everyone have a great day:happy:0 -
Good Morning Ladies, I'm working so this will be short. I wanted to post the link to some IF/5:2 information as someone asked about the plan I follow. Here you go.

Morning everyone:
Don't know why but am a little frustrated this morning. Probably the weather. I've got lots to do but can"t seen to get started.
But instead of giving into negativity I am going to wash my face, put some music on and make myself get started.
OK I did think of a question? I have made my donation to the "red kettle" outside of walmart yet everytime I go into a store where there is a ringer I feel guilty or judged when I don't drop something in. I know this is just plain old stupid but that feeling goes through me each time I pass one. Does anyone else have this happen to them>

I've added some pictures to my profile page. The one showing is our boat in the foreground with the "green tree" on the front, and our neighbor's boat in the background. I've also added a picture of Alberta Spruce, our new Christmas "tree," and Rudolph with lights in his antlers.0

Heather, another option for the ribbon to hold the wreath is to use a staple gun to staple it to the top of the door. That way the holes made by the staples won't show on either side of the door.
Wreath hangers and nice and pretty when they work. I've never had a lot of luck with them. They always seem to be too wide or too narrow for the door. I just put a screw in my door, but it always has a wreath hanging on so it doesn't bother me. I would probably rethink my decision if I had a new door.0 -
Good Morning! It is hump day going to make the best of it.
Grandmallie I would say yes time to get some new sneakers.....I am a nurse when I was on the floor working I changed mine out every 6-9 months. Now I am more sedentary I only buy every 18 months or so.
Heather Sounds like fun going to see the grand kids...I have 2 and another on the way due in June. They keep me going. Enjoy your wreath.
Katla Love the picture of the boat and the reindeer.
Today I am going to get a workout in after work, I am going to treat my self to a pedicure, manicure tonight can't wait.
Hope everyone has a great day
Barb/Illinois0 -
OK I am back with my Dec goals. In Nov I was slacking on every thing, even found a couple of the pounds I had lost! Now it is time to start over and get back on track. So here we go
my goals for December:
1. Ride my bike 15 - 30 min. on the days I don't work at Hardtimes or 3 times a week
2. Get back to 3 meals and 3 snacks a day - measure and log it all.
3. Drink 6 - 8 glasses of water
4. Lose at least 5 lb. For a total of 22 lb Dec gw: 242
I am determined to make this work and every day is a new day :flowerforyou:
Jean from Decatur0 -
Good morning ladies,
Watching it snow from my kitchen window. Makes everything look like Christmas. Getting back to normal now after recovery from a stomach bug :sick: and trip to Chicago. :happy:
Goals for December:
Make a plan for a bedtime routine and stick to it.
Make a plan to avoid foods high in salt, fat, and sugar reread Salt, Sugar, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us if need to.
Pace myself to enjoy the wonders of the Christmas season. Remembering a smile is a gift in itself. 0 -
Cindy,
I know what you are saying about the red kettle especially if you are out all day shopping you can come across many of them...I do put in each one but sometimes it is just change I find in bottom of my purse.

Thank you all for your great advice.. of course I read it after I had got the wreath up! :laugh:
In the end we screwed in to the other side of the door which is not newly painted and used a wing nut to keep the ribbon in place. Then the ribbon went over the door. Very satisfactory. I don't think DH had any idea what to do, but my first marriage was to an engineer so I got used to creative solutions!
I have posted a photo of it on my profile page. As I say, it is very rustic, but I like it that way!
Katla- love your decorations. Your boat looks terrific!
I made cranberry sauce this afternoon. I like it nice and sharp. In the freezer it goes.:laugh:
Enjoy my photo!
Love Heather UK0 -
Love that this site is already on page 6 and it's only the 4th! November goals went okay, but not what I had hoped.
So goals for December are:
Exercise at Curves 3x/week
Keep calories with in MFP guidelines 75% of the time and not over 1900 (my rate at sedentary TDEEP or whatever those initials are!)
Drink at least 64 ounces of pure water per day; in addition to the other liquids I love to drink!
I have to remember that I am releasing pounds as a dear friend told me. I'm not losing them, because if you are losing them you might think you have to find them again!
Keep on posting!
:happy:

No, I do not feel guilty. Sometimes I have change and I will drop it in. As a rule, I don't carry change and I'm certainly not dropping my debit card in there. 0 -
Good Morning, Ladies! Day 3 of the same storm! I am crabby! I came north with a list of people to see and things to do, but nothings getting done. However, I did knit myself a winter scarf to wear when we do get to go outside!
Sandy- Take care of yourself and have fun w/ DD's birthday. I do like the idea of her using a water pistol to make sure you don't overdo the exercise! It really is wonderful that you and she have been able to enjoy the Y together.
With all of my crabbiness, I should also admit that it is absolutely beautiful outside. The snow in the pine trees is wonderful, I just wish I could get some nice pictures, but I am not able to get out, yet. I do know that the temps are scheduled to drop radically, and that means the storm winds will die down and the snow will finally stop. It will be cold, but we will be able to get out.
For today: lots of water- I have been lax in that area lately. Light eating; venison for supper- - - YUM!
Take care, my friends,
Pat (Phoo)0 -
Hello to everyone,
Heather..........Gorgeous wreath!!! You reminded me that I have 3 bags of cranberries in the fridge yet.
Katla...........Your boat is beautiful..........how neat!
Gotta run, it's one of those days with 10 places to be. I realized on the way to the gym this am that I had actually forgotten to eat breakfast!!! How awful is that!!
Chilly, rain ending (I think).
For myself, I skip the red kettles, etc. with no feeling of guilt. I decided a long time ago to make my donation to charity in the form of volunteering; I want to know exactly where my effort goes. If I give money, it's directly to the person who needs it.

Happy hump day!!
Doing a lot of shopping online this year.One of my ways to de-stress.Hubby has such hard hours to fit in going out shopping.
Gonna be in the 50`s today and rain then get colder.
Hope everyone is doing ok and enjoy your day.
HUGS

I agree with the others on Katla's boat. Somehow I had always thought that your boat would have been on dry land. I never thought it was docked. Do others in your area do the same things with their boats?
I am one that doesn't always put money in the Red Kettle. There have been articles in our paper about some pretty bad mismanagement of the money in the kettles so I don't. We used to have a bell ringer outside of our local Schnucks that sang almost continous Christmas carols. I made going to the store a very pleasant experience.
Still have the sore throat but I have decided it is sinus drainage. But with the sinus problems just coughing gives me a headache. I'll keep the fluids up.

- No more excuses for not moving more - started kick boxing in my basement !!! I was kicking and punching and making noises like kids do when they play with their soldiers and my 13 yr old says - DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE THOSE ANNOYING SOUNDS !!??? LOL I replied YES !! because I kick and hit harder with the sound effects just like when used to make all those sounds when you were younger and I would always ask you to please keep it down ! LOL He found it hilarious
Dee, yes we have a park nearby where we go for walks thru the woods but since its getting colder now I find it easier to do what I can at home, gives me more time to finish unpacking and tree trimming if I ever get around to it this year. I am just not in the right state of mind this year - My dad 88 is not doing to well and then my mom is having a hard time dealing with social service ladies giving dad all the attention - fights with them and then fights with my dad.. she will be 93 this February . I try to go and spend time with them a few times a week ( 40 minute drive from me.) _ I come from a large family - 5 sisters and 3 brothers we wanted to put dad in a nursing home but 1 of my sister`s made a big stink and says he needs to stay home , its so hard making the right decision but My mom is getting violent and is actually hitting on him and spitting ??? I don`t think anyone should have to take that . where does someone draw the line?
TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS - I skip the red kettles, etc. with no feeling of guilt. I decided a long time ago to make my donation to charity in the form of volunteering; I want to know exactly where my effort goes. If I give money, it's directly to the person who needs it.
I volunteered at my kids school - every day 3 hours per day for over 9 years ! I think I have done plenty I was in school so much that the dean of the school actually offered me a job but I refused lol 0 -
Thanksgiving week - I had a bumpy couple of food days but kept going right back to my exercise. So I lost another pound in spite of it!! Still on track.
December - my goal is to lose 15lbs by Xmas and I have lost 12 so far. Three weeks to go so I am sure I can meet that.
2014 - So thrilled to enter 2014 with weight loss instead of weight gain and jumping onto the fitness wagon then. My goal is to lose another 20lbs. I want to get back to swimming laps again and to stay vigilant with my eating and exercise.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
Well, I forced myself to wake up early enough to hit the gym before work. Last year at the time I was going every MWF morning and T & TH evening I would go to the indoor pool for classes. This past summer I began slacking off and have had a really tough time getting back to it, I've been feeling really tired. So I pushed through and burned all kinds of calories first thing, then I made the mistake of going to Dairy Queen for lunch. :sad:
I've been in kind of a funk and need to snap out of it. Bah humbug!
On an happier note, it's sunny and in the 50's here in beautiful WV...after having snow and ice last week!
Barb in Eastern WV0 -
I think this was the busiest day I have had yet since I started this job in CT. I was tasked with initiating password changes for all the sales people. I did 23 of 43 and boy was that a mistake! The phone never stopped ringing until about an hour ago! I am beat!! Had other issues to deal with in between!
Went to Curves again today. Starting to feel it in my muscles. About time! I can tell I am getting fitter, (if not losing weight) as the slacks I have on today used to be tight, now they fit correctly! Progress!
At home, my DH finally! got the bug to empty boxes! Well, after I went out and bought all new blow drier, and other bathroom/bath supplies, he found the container with all my bathroom stuff in it! Now I have 2 or more of everything! Oh, well, will make good donation.
Now I wish he would find and bring up the Christmas decorations before I go and buy any! I know I have a ton of them!
Well, back to work now. Prayers and hugs to those who need them. Congrats to ALL of us on accomplishments. And keep on plugging!

I have lost track of time again. I lost my notes so not doing well. Prayers to all and congrates to all. With all the stress of the holidays we have to remember one day one step at a time. I just went another round with the insurance company. The person the sent to inspect the work came out yesterday. So after they left I called back to BOA to get the code I need to cash the check. This guy tells me I have to send the check to California and they will cash it and then send one back to me when they get the report. I told them that is not what I was told last week, Then he tells me they have alot of new people. So this morning we take the check to the post office and mail it so they have to sign for it. I was so mad I threaten to tear it up in little pieces and mail it to them. I will be so glad when this is all done. Our DS came over last evening and put up Christmas lights around outside the house. Then DH and I went a got areal tree. It is so pretty and smells so nice. So I am slowly getting into the spirit of the season. The weather turned this morning and we are having cold winds and flurrlies of snow. Gotta love Nebraska.
