Sixers Heading Into The Holidays - Week 5

Glad you are feeling better Emmie!! I didn't eat to poorly yesterday one plate and I sampled everything but not large portions like years ago.

Rhiannon- Glad you stopped by. I know your life is busy but keep up the good work.

Well ladies.... Ttyl!

LOL.. I forgot to say I did a 5 mile nature trail yesterday morning and the bike for 35 mins. I was trying to counteract.

Well, Thanksgiving was an interesting experience. My mom and I spent 2.5 days cooking, and because my stomach is smaller from eating right-sized portions, I got a full (but not overflowing) plate, and could only eat half of it. I had some dessert later on, but couldn't finish all of that either. It was actually a little disappointing. I brought home some healthy leftovers (smoked chicken, roasted turkey, and smoked pork) and some grilled asparagus. I also somehow ended up with a pumpkin roll, but I can work that into my calories, and it makes up just a tiny tiny bit for not being able to eat all of my favorite leftovers for the next week. This sounds crazy, but I may have to make healthy versions of my favorites this week to eat with all of the meat I brought home.

I didn't end up working out on Thursday morning, but I was standing at the stove from Tuesday night to Thursday night, so I'm pretty confident that burned a few calories. And the only sampling I did was to taste two of the dishes to make sure the spices were right, and I ate some of the homemade bread I baked for the stuffing. I'm sure I went over calories in bread, but I'm not upset about it.

I hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving (and I hope you're feeling better, Emmie)!

Ali- Sounds interesting. Glad you enjoyed cooking with your mom. Nothing like family time. A healthier lifestyle makes us eat less.

Today I spent the day shopping with my mom and sister Tiff. It was lots of fun. We even had Thai food for lunch and it was delicious. I love Christmas time. I had a blast shopping at Banana Republic on the clearance rack OF COURSE. LOL. I hope everyone is doing well.

Take care,

Tamm

I'm glad to read that you too are having a great weekend! Shopping, dining and with family what more could a girl want? LOL We have our oldest son and his three yr. old son and my house is now a disaster and it always seems like laundry, cooking and doing the dishes!! Please calgon take me away!!!!!! It could be worse I guess!! I have done the black friday shopping in what we call the city and no way will I stand in line for over an hour ever again!! I now do alot of shopping on-line and it sure is wonderful! I sure hope "ALL" the other sixers are having a nice week-end, I have not read too many post's from them in the last few day's!! Best wishes!

SIXERS where are you ? I feel deserted!!!!

I'm still here! I did another walking routine tonight, and I'm working hard to keep my sodium low to make up for Thanksgiving. I really do want to be down to 224 by the end of this challenge, and I'm working to make that happen. (If it doesn't, I won't be totally distraught though. I've worked hard, and I'm proud.)

Does this coming Tuesday make the last weigh in for this challenge or do we have one more after that? I'm so easily confused

thanks maggie. i like either one.

as you can see i gained back 1/2 of what my total loss WAS.....:brokenheart: but, it will come right back off. shows how quickly it can come back, 40# gain in 7 months. and yes had to buy new clothes. which i hated, cause they had to be bigger. DH kept picking out the smaller size. no i can't fit into those anymore. so now he just picks out and asks what size.
come on shanell come back with me.......

got in some taebo for my exercise this morning. tomorrow will be a gym day. need to work slowly back to the gym now too. DH noticed i felt crappier when i wasn't going to the gym. he's paying for it, guess i better go. feels good to be back typing again. i was reading.

laundry is calling and next the living room to move around for the tree.

later

Cathy!!! Nice to see you! I'll be back next challenge also!!!!

Rhiannon...I miss you! But I totally understand the busy life! That's how it's been for me also!

Maggie...I agree with Cathy...both are good. Whichever y'all choose is fine with me!

Have a great day gals!

I need to start eating right, keep up the exercising (day 1 was yesterday, day 2 will be Wednesday), and get some sleep.
I am exhausted. And busy. Who isn't, right?

Maggie, I love the new names for the challenge.

Cathy, (((hugs))).

I don't have time for personals right now, I so wish I did. Maybe soon. Let's see if I can't get myself back in order and in top gear!

(PS, I really don't want to weigh in tomorrow. REALLY DON'T WANT TO.)

:noway: WOAH! is the week already over!?!? No way... :noway:

So I DO NOT want to weigh in tomorrow, I worked so hard to lose that first 15 I dont want to weight in tomorrow and find that I gained X number of pounds back :sad:

SO my week has been amazing?! How was everyone elses!?!?!

HEY CHIPPER!!!!!!!

My REALLY good friend Alex flew up from florida to spend the holidays with my family and I, and when he left, I am pretty sure my heart left with him (he left last night). So I officially have a man in my life again, I am going to change my default to a pic of him and I :flowerforyou:

SO guys, see ya tomorrow! Sorry I was gone all week!
