FRIDAY
Good morning,
Will get more sleep after breakfast. One trip out on Black Friday to a hardware store. Will buy Amazon gift cards this year and bypass Target store altogether. Only thing on list that is a gift other items are more functional.
With any luck another quiet day of knitting/walking/reading/dvd. Light rain on tap and air quality is wonderful.

Sara - I did sample each dessert... but, only sample... food choices have been lacking, to say the least.. trying to eat in moderation, tho... tomorrow, is trip home. Plan is to stay 2 nights. Not sure how much snow is coming, Sun. 1" - 7" is what I've heard... so, may be a quick trip. Glad you are enjoying your Scentsy.. those scents sound so yummy..0

SATURDAY
Good morning,
Almost back at my original WW start weight. Boy is that a reality check. Sunny days through Wednesday, so I will try and get more walking in. I got tired of salads, so that is back on the menu. Gained 15 pounds in 7 months. Time to stop eating and more walking.
That said, we shall see.
Christmas window in place - I got Christmas lights on sale but they are triple what I usually put in window, so more lights and less objects - does make things quicker to set up. Have on a timer. Also bought dining room lights so it is darker in room I sleep.
Dawn with multiple scentsy warmers I am considering using the pine/ginger at the same time! Safe travels.
Sleep better, walk more, eat less.Chocolate in moderation and sweet potatoes still on menu. Time will tell.

Good morning, all!
I've been lurking and enjoying every post. Hope everyone survived the holiday relatively unscathed.
Thanks to the resolve set by my diagnoses and allergies, I resisted all manner of Thanksgiving food. Managed to take my meatloaf, prosciutto roll, and sugar-free bon bons to my first Thanksgiving dinner of the day, then, did not eat at the second one.
Due to a significant stall, my progress has not been as I had hoped. However, today marks 30 lbs gone since October 1st!
We can do this! We are worth the hard work! Each and every one of us is wonderful, special, and unique. No one else can make our choices for us. We must breathe, strengthen our resolve, and do what is best for us. We all have the power!

Good morning Everyone~
My laptop says our thread has reached page 400! Yay us for sticking with it!
Sara - I'm jumping in the shower soon. Donna and I are driving up to Petaluma to visit with our cousin Patty, who has lived in California most of her adult life. I have not seen her for what must be 40 years, at least. The weather is looking decent and we can see the sky and the mountains. Grateful for that.
You all have a good Saturday. Exercise and relax.... Ha, Ha on the relax. You all likely have lots to do.
Hugs,
Lana2 -

Page 400! does that mean I can eat 400 more calories?? only if I walk more.
Did some banking, an account I used to put piggy bank money in I finally closed (could not remember my security codes). Will help pay for rent or maybe the birthday/ Christmas present I didnt get.
I agree with Lana- words written at a good time Tracy. Back to the salads for me....
Petaluma held out for a long time but parts are now just another suburbia - I wonder if it still has Chicken farms? Hope you have fun Lana.
Sewed scarf/hat/hearts for chemotherapy department the little NICU hats are waiting but it is cold and snuggle nap time with Miss T is calling.
Will stop by later.2 -
7046 steps total - because I got bored I added all the steps up since I got my pedometer 295790 hard to believe, but it is more walking than I used to get.

Made it to family. Survived an incredibly awkward dinner. Under a "Blizzard" warning... ugh... good thing I took Monday off...I may need it!1

SUNDAY
Good morning,
Realized one of the cornerstones of my weight loss has been salads and I got tired of them this year, so I buying better brands this time (less iceberg lettuce) and eating for lunch or dinner.
Fog this morning makes sense with all the rain, used to see it all the time.
Regular chores today. No idea on meals so if nothing else I make fried rice.
Dawn you will thank yourself for going to that dinner even though it was not "Betty Crocker". Sounds like Monday off is a good thing. Did you work this weekend?

Hello everybody~~

Once again for me. I’m trying to get my emotional and binge eating under control. Hopefully I’ll be motivated by participating in this group.3

Salads premade are in short supply with the Romaine lettuce issue. Not the time to change eating......lovely. I bought Quinoa in a tube like polenta - so maybe I am frying that up with eggs for dinner??
Sgibbs - welcome and stop by when you can.
Laundry and with any luck soccer - eye candy.1 -

This was my weekend off and I took Monday as a vacation day. Was planning on staying with Sister, tonight. Had to cut visit short as it seems Blizzard 2018 is upon the city. Started about 10:00am and still coming down. In about 3 hrs of me leaving, they had 5 inches. Now, it's been 4 hrs, about 7 inches and still coming down. Snowing it's *kitten* off here, now. Really windy. Hate I had to cut visit short. But, think I did right thing. The awkward dinner was only cousin, her BF and baby. Her mom is the one causing issues. So, hard to pretend everything is ok. But, I kept my mouth shut...0 -
6656 total steps
Grabbed heating element in oven, boy was I lucky I didnt burn myself..... I find that with the air quality and work assignment change last week I am very tired - will keep my kitchen prep to a minimum. With any luck I intend to do a 'normal' work week with the Supervisor on vacation make sure to touch the items he wants me to work on but not exclude other easier work. Really hoping that my workfile does not get worse with all the changes in the department coming up.
Okay enough of that mess. Got to give the dog sun time while lounging in my chair with me which was a nice change.
Weigh in and Monday tomorrow. Just drank 2 glasses of water, we shall see what we shall see.

I’ve been feeling out of control and just need some help and support to get back on track. Hoping this is it!4

I finished one day on track! Onto the second day!6

MONDAY
Good morning,
Weight up but only 1.2 considering my 4 turkey dinners, 4 cookies, even more crackers- I am lucky indeed.
Welcome cddiehl and Hungry - this is an open board so stop by when you can.
Saw moon this morning, some clouds, just nice that it is a "normal" color again. Lana are you still in CA? Someone on FB posted pictures of SF from Marin county and glad to see it was all clear there too.
Walking in earnest can start again.
QOTD: What will you be focusing on to improve your health?
AOTD; 2 things getting serious about my water intake and sleeping better. I didnt realize how tired I was.
Wave to all who follow. Make it your best Monday1 -
Tillies! Thanks for the warm welcome!
I’m focusing on practicing mindfulness to improve my health. Making choices (food specifically) in the moment rather than zoning out and hoping for the best in a week.
I like your “AOTD”! My AOTD would be walking either half way, or the whole way home from work! A 40 minute slight incline walk, but it always feels so initimadating.1 -
Hello everyone!
I browsed all the posts - been away for a week from this page. I see lots of great holiday times!
went to CO and saw my oldest daughter. Was with her to pick out her wedding dress - had to fight back tears many times. She is so beautiful!
Did lots of hiking and visiting. CO is great place for nature!
Was back in time for thanksgiving. Focused on veggies, squash and some turkey. I can forgo sweets - would rather have the other stuff, so I did pretty well. Tried very hard to listen to my body queues - ate if I was hungry stopped when full, not over full. I would say I did pretty well. Over did some wine at times (: LOVE wine!
It strikes me as Arniedog is stuggling with blizzard and our CA friends are starting to breath better from the smoke. - so much weather yuk! Sad we are getting to this point and getting worse if news is to be believed.
anyway! on a brighter note - congrats to Tracey - 30lbs is so amazing!
Wecome to Hungry4Hawaii and cdiehl.
Lana - you are a jetsetter - traveling all over!
AOTD - I am focusing on liking myself better - getting over the guilt of eating and how I look. Eating based on my bodies needs.
Have a great Monday. I will be lurking and maybe snoozing at my desk all day long -

AOTD: Walking and getting better sleep!
Sara - I am still here in CA; flying day is Wednesday to go back to North Carolina.
Busy day today......have to do paperwork. I do drag my finances/bills/stuff with me on long trips, so that I don't get behind.
Waves to all~~
*tossing beach bag, towel, and sarong onto favorite lounge chair for later*

No scale here. Scary.1 -
Lana! Are you on vacation? I’m in the PNW right now and am dreaming of sun!
I had a big lunch about two hours ago but I’m starting to get really hungry again! Not trying to eat until I get home but man it’s hard! No pain no gain though, Delaying gratification now will be better later!1 -
I would like to join

AOTD - I need to be more consistent with exercise. I'm finding it hard to keep up with exercise and crafts for the shows.1
