:flowerforyou: Hi Vermont06 - welcome! By posting you are part of this discussion. All the best on your journey. The people on this forum are very supportive. You will like it.
:flowerforyou: Lynocourse - welcome! Not easy to be active when studying requires you to sit. Been there, so I quite understand, although I always thought my brain surely must burn major calories too! MFP is great for logging.
Today I have been home alone and enjoying it a lot. I am slow cooking a vegetarian bean ragout, and am looking forward to eating it at dinner. I just watched a 60 Minutes episode on "Is sugar toxic?" Here is the link. It is ~ 15 minutes in length. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7403942n
Have also been reading a couple of Dr. Fuhrman's books and am inspired to eat more vegetarian. You will note that from my diary, which is open to my MFP friends. As the old-timers will know, I started MFP in the fall of 2009 and have re-started this journey on a number of occasions.
Every day is a new day.
Tomorrow it is back to a busy week at work, but I am taking some vacation time (at home) between Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to it.

Yeah! I showed DH the ski gear that won't fit in the car (even if we weren't hauling Christmas) and he's decided we need the truck. Good news.
All the gifts are wrapped & packed, I am ready to go. Christmas at school this week, keeping it low key.
Hasta pronto,

Kate - what a wonderful comment!
Did an hour of training games on the Wii today. Tomorrow I'll do some yoga and then take the extremepump class.
I don't know how true this is.....but I saw on a show about things that chefs don't want you to know. One thing they said, which in a way makes sense, is that meat that is almost at its expiration date and isn't as red (but mostly gray) is many times used when someone requests that their meat be well done. Well done meat is gray, meat almost at its expiration date is gray. Remember last night I said how the meat was very overcooked? Well, I can't help but wonder if they were trying to cut costs and got a cheaper piece of meat. All's I know is that right now my stomach feels "yuk". I'm trying having some tea, but I don't think that'll calm my tummy enough. I'm feeling tired right now and just had a piece of bread, better go lay down until this carb craving goes away.
Robin - one of the first signs we had that PJ was diabetic was that he drank a lot and he peed a lot.
It's so great to see so many people doing so well right around now. I'm not. but I know that jonce all these holiday goodies are gone, I'll get back on track. How I can't wait for these holidays to be over!
Gail - I never thought of NSV's being things like feeling better, not craving sweets. But you are so right. You know, I've never had fried okra. Just don't have any desire for fried foods. Now okra fresh in a salad -- give that to me, especially the red okra
Did a load of laundry today. Did some vacuuming, still need to vacuum our closet and wash the floor in the bathroom
Meg - wow! A five car garaage. Is it attached?
Vince started to put the lights on the Christmas tree. How many days is it until Christmas???? It's a good thing that I get things done ahead of time (well, pretty muchly) so that I can help him. If I waited until the last minute like he does, nothing would get accomplished.
Made the bourbon balls for Bryan's birthday. It's basically vanilla wafers, corn syrup, bourbon, powder sugar and cocoa. I can't see how they can go bad. I used a recipe from a friend and it was a bit muddled. I think I got the right consistency down.
Barbara - happy birthday!
vermont06 - welcome! Just come here and post, that's about it
Jen - I didn't get Vince too much, either. We have this big thing in the backyard....lol I suspect that's going to be our anniversary, birthday, and Christmas gifts for years to come. Sounds like you had a wonderful visit with dd.
You know something, I tried this tea, wasn't real crazy about it so I put a bit of splenda in it. Now I haven't had any aritficial sweetener in a long time. I actually don't like the taste of artificial sweetener!
lynocourse - welcome!
Nancy - I knew you would be able to convince dh that you needed that truck!
Hope everyone has a great evening.

Well it is December 16th and I mostly shopped via the internet. So my dining room is full of boxes mostly still unopened, let alone wrapped. The one thing I did do today was to bake a couple of diet meals which will last me most of the week. I work from home and so does everyone else at the small company that I work for so I am spared the company Christmas party. So while I am not yet ready for the holidays, I feel ready for another week of health and fitness - hope the feeling lasts all week.
I took my second ever aqua zumba class today. It was a ton of fun with the great advantage that no one else in the class can see how totally uncoordinated I am. I am only 14 weeks into my MFP journey, but I am already beginning to feel greater confidence with my increasing fitness despite the long way I have left to go.
Wishing you all a wonderful week.
:flowerforyou: Liz0 -
What a crazy busy week it's been at work...lots of holiday programs
and visitors...while moving a chair it bumped my foot (not broke) which
immediateley swelled and turned the prettiest purple...haven't been able
to exercise this past week but going to gym tomorrow.
DD#1 and family will be back in IL for the holidays..can't wait to hug my
granddaughters ages 20 months, 4, 6 and 11 years old..haven't seen them
since July. My daughter will be surprised to see me - I've lost 41 lbs. since
I was in NC visiting her.
I'm just starting to get up the Christmas decorations and presents wrapped.
Trying to maintain my weight this month but it's really hard - glad I have all
of you for support.
Have a great week everyone!

Hi ladies, hope you are all having a restful, peaceful, meditative Sunday.
I keep thinking of all those little children and their teachers and tearing up. I went out and attacked the snow this morning with a vengeance, I think it was the frustration of the senselessness (is that a word) of the shootings. My God, why can't we figure out how to deal with mental illness. It always seems to be the last place money is spent - how tragic for the people needing help and those who bear the results. Enough.
After the snow shovelling, i chased the dogs all over the yard making trails, totally wore them and me out. Then I spent the rest of the day (any yesterday too) doing a deep clean so everything is shipshape. Next weekend I'll be on the road down to the coast and back so won't be able to do the big clean then. The problem with doing it now is that I'll feel like it should be done again (but the windows and walls and curtains won't need redoing, just the floors and vacuuming and polishing etc.).
I seem to have been on a carb kick today, first Mac and Cheese for lunch and then potato leek soup for supper. Hmm, good thing it was in moderation.
I'm glad you found something Ellen, even it it wasn't the be-all and end-all outfit. Still it's new and a smaller size and that is good.
Nancy, have fun on your Xmas break in Kelowna, glad it won't be quite as cramped as you first thought.
JaneH - so nice that you are back, the posts have been acting up a bit, gremlins. Will look forward to your post tomorrow.
Joelene - keeping you in my prayers for a good result. And glad the job came up to your expectations - that's a good thing!
Rebel - Count me in for the Fruit'n'Veggie Challenge in January.
Michele - I feel so guilty - I haven't done any baking at all yet. I think I should get going on the shortbread and sugar cookies and gingerbread this week. (I love gingerbread dough so this will be a good test of willpower for me),
Tomorrow night I get to go bowling with the Special Olympians and am so looking forward to it. I've been bowling a couple of times now and will go Tuesday evening as well for the drop in ladies league. After that I guess I'll get to the baking.
Time to go and finish my great niece's little angora bolero I knit her for Xmas, I need to get it in the XpressPost by Tuesday. Plus I'm a sucker for those lame Christmas movies on tv these days.
Good night ladies, peaceful dreams.
Lila0 -
marking this spot for later...been MIA for a month or more. Have missed you all. Decided there is no way I can keep up with the posts on this thread, but you are such a great group that I want to continue to be a part, even if I can't stay up to date! LOL! Be back soon...

Hello Ladies,
Today was cold and wet just a little bit of snow on the ground. Most of it melted away by lunch time.
@Meg today was our church Christmas Program by our kingdom kids they did a good job.
@Barbie I will walk Bella if the weather is not nice but won 't if its icey. My balance isn't that great and when I fall it has messed me up for days. But we have a large backyard for those days alsomy husband can walk her on days like that.
@Linda I agree with you something needs yo be done to improved the care of the mentality ill.
@Lola I agree with you too senseless and the need for mental health reform. I too did deep cleaning today. Almost done.
@Liz. I have started making a dent in wrapping the gifts.
@JaneH. Welcome back.
@Michele -- I have started my baking for Christmas. So hard not to keep eating and eating.
@Dee I hope you enjoyed your dinner. Last Christmas was our first without My husband stepdad he was the glue that kept the family together. So without him the family scattered we went to friends this year the family still isn't pulling together after we have made attempts so have decided this year to start our own traditions. Not going going to be easy but like others share keep.some that honor yr DH too. We are. Bob always made this really calories high hot butter rum. This year we will make it and my daughter request corn. Cause Grandpa always had to have corn no matter what.
Must share a good story about my DD last night at our banquet My daughter stood up and share what she how much she enjoyed everything and the amazing part of this my daughter gave eye contact when she shared. I just was so proud. My daughter had autism and tor her to share and make eye contact took a lot.
Tomorrow is my last dayoff hoping to finish deep cleaning tomorrow. That way next weekend can just do touchups.
Wishing everyone a goodnight!

Good morning beautiful ladies:flowerforyou:
Oh the time is just flying by these days:grumble: , I need more time in a day to get done all I want to do:frown: . I have most of the presents wrapped:bigsmile: , just 2 small ones left to wrap for the granddaughters, and one huge toaster oven to wrap for my daughter, seems like I had lots of big presents this year...the kids are coming over on the 23rd for the turducken dinner..I told them they have to take some presents home with them because all the big stuff plus the normal size gifts I don`t think will fit in my car. I always go over there on Christmas morning with the presents for them to open. I`m still worried about cooking this turducken, I read several ways to cook it and a couple say it takes about 8 hrs. to cook:noway: , I`m hoping the instructions from the butcher will be easier!
Liz How wonderful that your daughter shared with everyone and made that eye contact! I know you`re very proud of her
!!!
Hopefully by the end of this week I`ll be able to get back to responing to more people...right now I just have too much going on! I read all the posts though and send good wishes to everyone!!!
Have a wonderful happy Monday!!!! Drink your water:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: and log your food!!!!
Hugs,
DeeDee0 -
Good morning I took notes yesterday in hopes of getting back here. But life got in the way and I had company from 1 pm to after 7 last night which was good. But boys I believe them to one 8 and two 9 year old. Bad my golly I sure don't remember mine being like that. And of course my grandkids are not that age.
They were suppose to be here to bake cookies but they were to busy playing. And two of the older girls spent most of the day playing on the wii. So the best little helper was my Amelie. She's been baking cookies with me since she's three she can roll them out cut them put them on the cookie sheets and decorate them. She loves it. And it's easy for her. Maybe a little of my love for cooking rubbed off on her.
Gail
So very well written and wakes up the knowledge in a lot of us.
So I need to get ready for my day. Every Monday I do a morning of home care for a friend.
See you all lighter.0 -
We had no internet over the weekend and seeing all the news and posts when I got back on last night just filled me with sadness and tears. I am from a neighboring town to Newtown. It is so sad.
Jeannie0 -
Good Morning Ladies,
The tragedy in CT hit a nerve in us all. My first thought was "that could happen here." Sadly, it can and is happening. I am heartbroken for the town and families.
Hopefully mental health will become a priority as others mentioned. Anxiety is a four letter word and is so often brushed under the carpet. Stress is so prevalent in children and adults. Often we overlook many do not have coping mechanisms we have learned and developed over the years.
On Friday the school counselor and I had our first group meeting with some fourth grade girls in a new club focusing on RAOK. We will meet once a week and find ways to make someone's day on the elementary school level. One small way to give back. The "ME" attitude needs to change....
Thinking of you Jolene as you embark on your new job and praying for your health.
Love the encouragement and support and thanks for my dose of Vitamin F!!!
Carolyn0 -
I found you~~ I wrote a couple of messages on an old board. Oh well. I didn't say anything important. 0

Hi my lovely friends! It is a nice quiet day here in Omaha. A lot of people are done with classes, and there are no students. It’s just some meetings and work time. I met my new cohort of students today; they all had that stunned look on their faces! Its’ dreary and cool but supposed to be sunnier later.
Well now our builder is coming tonight…we will see about that! He is bribing us with homemade tamales…he even made the tortillas! They should be fabulous, but loaded with calories I’m sure.
BarbaraC: I must say you don’t look anywhere near your age! Congratulations on the weight loss!
Vermont: just come anytime and post your goals, successes, falls off the wagon…anything you want. Ranting is even ok!
Jen: I love doing the stocking stuffers! We have a $10 limit on them, and it’s always a fun challenge to figure out what to get!
Lynocourse: Welcome and what an interesting picture you have LOL
Rebel: I hope you get some quiet time!
Nancy: have a safe drive!
Michelle: yes our garage is attached. It’s a tandem with two spots in front of the others and one single spot. My friend who is a chef says to never buy the day’s special which is usually something old.
Liz: aqua zumba! Now that sounds like fun!
Colleen: I hope daughter is surprised and pleased at your weight loss!
Lila: I love those old Christmas movies too! I have to stay away from the TV this time of year or I can spend hours watching them!
LizM: what a victory for your daughter! I’m sure you were proud!
DeeDee: always nice to see you!
LinC: I love how you sign off “See you all lighter!”
Well I have to get back to work if I have any hope of not coming in over the holidays! Take care! Meg0 -
Blessings to you all! My heart is too heavy with sadness and grief for the familes of Newton to be concerned with my own journey here.:brokenheart: I may take a break for a bit and try to just maintain until after the holidays. But, I definitely want all of you to know how much I appreciate every single one of you and thank you for all of the support and encouragement that you have given to me! :flowerforyou:
Kathy0 -
I'm so glad to be back, reading so many encouraging posts and so much news. I tried posting yesterday, but it went into Never-Neverland twice, so I gave up.
I've been doing pretty well at keeping out of my Christmas fudge. I have a tradition of giving away plates of chocolate/peanut butter fudge each year, and it is a temptation. I totally blew last night -- we went to my favorite restaurant, which I hadn't been to in over a year. I just couldn't talk myself out of my favorite dish. I think that the goal at this time of year has to be simply to maintain, and be thankful for anything more than that. I had a Christmas party on Saturday, and Bunko is tonight... so many food challenges!
My daughter's best friend is in the hospital, and is expected to be in ICU for 3 weeks. Thank goodness it looks like she'll be okay! She is 25 years old, and thought she had a stroke last week (one side of the face drooped and loss of vision). It turns out to have been a brain aneurism and a subdural bleed. She underwent two brain surgeries in the past week, and now has had a piece of her skull removed to relieve the pressure. I've only met her parents once, but wanted to go by the hospital to see if I could help in any way. My daughter didn't want me to -- she says that would be too weird. I feel badly not reaching out to them, as I would appreciate it in their place.
There have just been too many tragedies happening lately, what I think of as "man's inhumanity to man." I get sick whenever I think about it. I can't even imagine what those poor parents must be going through. I still remember where I was when I heard the news about Columbine happening here, and then the Aurora movie shootings this past summer. What is wrong with people??!
I don't have anything at all done for Christmas, having been gone. I got my cards printed yesterday, and now need to work on my Christmas letter so that I can send them. No tree, no decorations.... so much to do!
BJ -- I'll bet you look great in your formal skirt. Good for you!
Meg -- I'm always so impressed with your parenting techniques and follow-through. You've taught another good lesson with the car. I'm too much of a push-over, and have spoiled my children horribly over the years. My son is a good kid, but would benefit greatly from some of your wisdom. We did leave him on foot for four months, but mostly because my husband insisted. Now someone has told me that he's been racing -- not sure if it's true or not. I'm saving that discussion for after finals are over in two more days.
Jolene -- I'm hoping that your biopsy comes back with good news. It must be so scary having to wait. Congratulations on your new job!
Kate -- I love that your friend saw such a difference in you. Way to go!
Gail -- Thank you for the encouraging post about consistency. I needed to hear that today. Congratulations on another 2 lbs. down.
BarbaraC47 -- Happy 65th Birthday yesterday!
Liz -- What a great accomplishment for your daughter! It isn't easy for anyone to speak to a group and make eye contact at the same time.
To all of my friends, I'm so glad to have read your posts, even if I didn't mention you all here today! Have a great one!0 -
Someone shared this link on my facebook. It addresses the concerns I had about the beating Adam Lanza's mom has been taking in the media. The poor lady was one of his victims and had been victimized for a long time while trying to deal with is mental illness. This is worth reading to the end. What is a parent to do? @MegBlair it made me think a little of some of the trials you're having.

Lucky! I am happy for you. Enjoy them while you can. My kids are older and I get them home at Christmas only when it is our turn. In-laws get both of them this year.0 -
We got home from our travels having actually lost a few pounds, which was so amazing I want to crow about it. BUT I unpacked the dishers I took with me and didn't use, and decided to use them yesterday. It appears to have been needed. My idea of portions expanded somewhat while we were traveling. I'm wondering if this will be a long term issue once we've actually met our goals. I'm guessing it will. Any wisdom from those who are maintaining now?0

I agree that mental health needs to be a priority. The systems we had once upon a time have been dismantled ever since the Reagan administration. I'm a retired middle school teacher, and I had many kids that needed more help than was available. We did the best we could, and had community allies including the police who helped even more. The need is great and so much more support is needed. What is RAOK?0 -
Katia- RAOK is Random Acts of Kindness. Usually something simple but the idea is to pay it forward....:flowerforyou:0

Good afternoon ladies,:flowerforyou:
Saw the doctor this am and I can keyboard 20 mins per hour. Made an apt to see the hand doctor on Jan 17th. Still not working as work will not accept the restrictions. Waiting for the disability check to show up. Girls have finals tomorrow and Wednesday, then off for the Christmas break! I have to get off of the computer now as DD#2 needs the computer to study for finals. Wishing you a stress free day, and the strength to take care of yourself nutritionally!
Hugs Linda S
Jolene-:flowerforyou: thinking about you and praying for you!
BigPal:flowerforyou: - praying for you also, speedy recovery.
Nancy- :flowerforyou: have a great trip and I too am glad that you are going in that big Ford!:drinker:
Kate-:flowerforyou: Love you posts as they are so descriptive! Congrats on being called “skinny.” Even if you are not feeling it, this is how your friend saw you!!! :drinker: That is a great NSV!
Katla49-:flowerforyou: Hope your knee is feeling better, and you able to get back in the saddle again!
Robin,Ritter and Bodi- :flowerforyou: my chocolate lab is just like your Ritter. I did the same thing and had her checked for diabetes.
Gail- :flowerforyou: thank you for your rant, which I did not see it this way at all. I found it to be very supportive and helpful. Thank you for your support and motivation!
BarbaraC47-:flowerforyou: Happy belated birthday! Congrats on your 58lb weight loss! That is amazing! I hope your resolve to continue on the journey starts today!
Meg-:flowerforyou: why would the students have stunned looks on their faces? Yes, love tamales:bigsmile: . They are quite the chore to make!
Jen-:flowerforyou: I agree with you about making sure that the true meaning of Christmas is what is focused on, instead of all the commercialism etc. That is so cool to hear that you and your daughter were up until 0230 catching up! How lovely that must have been!
Lynocourse,:flowerforyou: Vermont 06- :flowerforyou: welcome, come often read and chat!
Rebel-:flowerforyou: so what do you think about sugar now after watching the video?
Michele-:flowerforyou: well, at least your husband help with the Christmas lights.:drinker: My Dh has done nothing for the last 16 years. I am feeling better now because my DD’S help me with the tree and everything else!
Colleen-:flowerforyou: hope that your foot is healing up and you are able to move around ok. How exciting to see family that have not seen you since your weight loss! Hugs and kiss those grand babies!
Lila:flowerforyou: -have fun bowling, that should be good for some calories burned.
Cathyb60-:flowerforyou: good to see you back on MFP! Do what you can, but stay in contact even if it is only reading the posts!
Liz M-:flowerforyou: I can feel your happiness and sense of accomplishment for your DD.:drinker: I know exactly what you mean about the eye contact and standing up in front of people, as this is something that my DD#2 will not do secondary to her anxiety. I am so happy when a teacher tells me they called on her and she answered out loud in class. Every year I have to tell the teachers again that she has anxiety and it is just not a defiant or manipulative behavior. She really is afraid! I am so happy for your DD and you too! Hugs!:bigsmile:
DeeDee-:flowerforyou: good luck with cooking that turducken! That sounds like hard work to me! I hope you get all of your presents wrapped and you will be done soon!:bigsmile:
LinC- :flowerforyou: glad you had one little helper! Tell me about those pies you made- are they like chicken pot pies, but just filled with other types of meat?
Carolyn,:flowerforyou: what does RAOK stand for? What a great idea to spread positives behaviors. When my DD#1 was in 5th grade her “friends” were being mean to her. She was crying at school. I spoke to the teacher about it and I suggested that they girls meet with the school counselor to work with them on being nicer to each other. It was just my daughter’s turn to be left out etc. Well, the parents of the other girls had a fit and called me up and yelled at me, accused me of saying that I called their daughters bullies. So, even if the children are willing, the parents can be the ignorant ones. So now my daughter and I were the bullies. I had to make the principal of the school write a letter to each of the parents involved to calm them down. The word counselor is equal to bad kids here in this part of California. So sad that they did not see it as a good learning experience to help their daughters grow and learn conflict resolution.
anehadji-:flowerforyou: I would not be able to keep out of any fudge although it sounds yummy. Your daughter’s friend, that is tragic, but at least they diagnosed it and were able to give the treatment she needed. I would say if you wanted to go to the hospital and talk to her parents, then do it. People really need other people and even if you can’t help out at least they know that someone cared! :drinker:
Cheryl-:flowerforyou: I read that same article on my facebook too. It is so tragic, but true!
Lentigogirl-:flowerforyou: glad your sons are home!
Barbie-:flowerforyou: do you have to put booties on the dogs feet if you go out for long walks in the extreme cold? I was wondering if their little pads get too cold?:laugh:
Sorry if I missed anyone. It took me a few hours to get this done with my restrictions. Sending blessings to all MfP friends!
I got my vitamin F for the day!:drinker:

Evening lovely ladies
I have read through all the posts - just., but don' have time to respond to you all. Its really late - again! We have been visiting relatives again this weekend and have done the last of the Christmas gift deliveries. A few cards left to deliver locally, and that is it. Just the food left to sort and that is mainly perishables.
Its been a pretty terrible weekend food wise. I just don't seem to be doing well at all at the minute. Hey, its nearly Christmas, and its only one day. I reckon if I can just maintain, i can get back to it for real in the new year.
I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is another day.
Vitamin F rocks !!

Quick note tonight ...dh is putting lights on Christmas tree so maybe I will do the rest:bigsmile:
I am on track so far for my movement miles goal but have not done any weights or evening workouts..I am choosing to not beat myself up about it and will try again in January...perhaps I'll get started again after Christmas...we shall see. I am liking how I feel by not having a starch with dinner but am having 2 vegetables instead...I would not have believed the difference if I didn't experience it. I am not changing to no carbs, but I think this is a sustainable change for me.
DS finally made his travel plans...he will be home 12/23...he is taking a red eye flight on 12/22. Apparently he is flying first class...military upgrade or only seat left??! Lol! Someday he will learn to plan ahead...I know the military does not give them a lot of advance notice but I think he is quite the procrastinator!
Time to work on the tree...hopefully CK (kitten) won't climb it...tree just came down...but it was dh's doing....had to mop up about a gallon of water...guess ornaments will wait until tomorrow:laugh:
Have a good night, my friends!

We're on our own this Christmas. We celebrated with our kids on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. They're both with in-laws this year. Today we brought in my prize upright rosemary bush and decorated it as our tree. It is very cute. I'm hopeful that the move indoors won't be too shocking. It hasn't dipped below about 40 outside. I'll need to move it back out gently and in stages when the time comes. We're considering the outside of our house. No lights feels like we're letting our neighbors down, but we really aren't up for the full deal. I'm not sure what we'll end up doing.0
-
The Christmas spirit has caught up with me now I just need to remember why we celebrate and wrap, wrap, wrap those presents.

TexasGal - I used to have a favorite Christmas pin with that phrase, but it has gone missing. Thank you!
