Well I have hit my my first goal! The one I thought I would never meet lol. A year and a bit ago when I set it I just wanted to put in a number that was under the 200 mark but didn’t think I would ever meet it. I didn’t know how to do it and through all of you guys I slowly have learned that it isn’t always about the number but the mind set of loving yourself for who you are right now and learning to do things that’s going to make me feel better both mentally and physically. Thank you for that. Now if you all could just change my mind about darn exercising lol. I have found some you tube videos for beginners that don’t look too bad so I plan to try them.

I got the house all decorated for the holidays this week and there is a little snow on the ground so I’m feeling pretty festive. This is my favorite time of year. The hustle and bustle in the stores. The music. Family. Well and let’s be truthful here all the goodies too lol. I haven’t started my baking yet cuz I’m afraid I will eat it. But I will have to soon as we are hosting Christmas dinner this year. Here are some pics of the decorations.

Gained a little this week. I've done holiday baking with kids and been enjoying myself with treats. Not going to beat myself up about it. My goal for this up coming week is to go back to my reliable breakfast and lunch choices and easy way off snacking.

I hope you all are having a lovely holiday season.

@laurelfit57 Thank you Jasper scared the heck out of me then I was wondering why I got more kitties when losing the last one broke my heart! He was super cuddly today and wouldn't let me catch up online but that's ok for now (typed that before I read Vannie was trying to get your attention). Hahaha beat ya last night! I need to start scrolling before mine in case you beat me too. Wayfair has a lot of nice items I'm glad you found some good bedding. OK WHY do animals lay on iPads and Kindles, I get when they're on it's warm but my cats do it when they're off. Since I've shown my guys Cat TV on the Kindle they come up and put their face in front of it while I'm reading to see if any birds are on the screen, feels very invasive. You didn't need your phone anyway right? She is looking very adorable! I love her flower.

@AmbersWay Oh enjoy your chili! I'd have loved to have you come with me, there were some great cookies and cornbread too. I'm so glad for the most part your family is doing good. Is there any hope for your husband of regaining more use of his arm? I'm glad he's doing so much better.

@Cornanda You're welcome I hope you enjoy them. The second novella in the one I'm reading now isn't grabbing me but I wasn't feeling good when I started it so I'll try again. Whenever I HAVE to read I dig my heels in and become stubborn and don't want to do it, I hope that doesn't happen to you, make a big cup of tea or hot chocolate and enjoy.

@tammymccrady6278 So glad to read your post and see your photos! I hope this holiday season you look back at how much you've accomplished and grown. Your house looks beautiful and festive. I didn't eat anything sweet tonight and decided I'd save room for a cookie (@trooworld 's recipe) and the stinkin' dough sits in the fridge overnight so I turned the oven off. I put orange zest in the dough so I ate the orange instead and it was real good so I'm happy. Can you freeze any cookies for later? Honestly even if they're frozen I don't trust myself. Ha! I went through your photos again and spotted your beautiful kitty!

@865jessica You got this, good plan for this week!

@trooworld OMG those orange rolls look SO good! I started a Pinterest board for Orange Extract recipes. My parents usually have cinnamon rolls on Christmas, maybe I'll offer to make these if my Mom hasn't bought them yet. I can't see well driving at night so I'll probably spend the night after Christmas Eve. I KNOW it's like the musicians haven't aged much in that video right? You were one of the first people I thought of when I saw this! Sad you can feel Prince should've been one of the surprise guests. If you find any more this good send them my way! I listened to a different one but the one I posted is my favorite so far. Force Mds Tender Love was fun too.

Hi everyone! The food bank party was fun, so was the charity brainstorming afterward but after a few hours in a folding chair I couldn't sit anymore and ended up breaking up the meeting saying I'd have to leave. I was in so much pain when I got home I went straight to bed and had my tea and conked out. I stayed home from the farm and had been planning to go to a craft fair but thought it opened earlier than it did so I went, came home, then went again 2 hours later and collected business cards from vendors so we (the charity) can invite them to our events. I'm awkward talking to strangers but they were all happy to be asked and it was fun. The holistic pain group was having an open house so I came home and wrapped a gnome (Dollar Tree had real cute ones) and some candy and dropped in. I listened to the lectures and tried a new device they have and it helped my foot pain some and increased movement for 2 hours so that's hopeful. There was a raffle and I won 3 months of their new membership were there's a handful of things you can go in and use during the week like the device I mentioned, a vibration plate, healing blanket, and the owner said I could use her more advanced micro current machine with that too. I'm going to start taking the micro current classes they have this Wednesday and am going to start a 2 month micro current trial with some of the inventors of it where I'll have access to their library and helpers. This got super long have a great Sunday!

only time for a quick pop in:

@Katmary71 - Yes, I have that "Have to" feeling. I'm fighting it. Hey- that's cool you won a membership!

@trooworld - I love the voice the book is told in, but it's not going to be a quick read- he shares a lot of complicated stuff and if you read too fast you will miss it. I think I'm really going to like this book.

@tammymccrady6278 - I have never been an athletic person or someone who enjoyed exercising. I have found a few exercise things that I don't mind doing and therefore don't leak out on my exercise sessions. It took some time, patience and experimenting- I hope you will find something. Also, be patient with yourself- if you are sore or it's too hard or whatever- don't go all perfectionist and give up. Give yourself space to work on it- just like you did with food. Congrats to the MAX on getting yourself to Onederland!

Happy Sunday all!

Damn, some of that came back. But it's not surprising, I've was sick for several days, and it has absolutely been Treat Season at work. But onward and upward.

Hey Slimpossibles!

I need to step away as co-captain as I'll be offline taking care of some medical issues for a few weeks. Chris has long deserved a better co-captain as all I have been doing is maintaining the weigh-in spreadsheet. So, if there is anyone interested in co-captaining (is that a word?) the Slimpossibles team, please let Chris and/or I know.

Thanks!

@trooworld Hey we'll learn how to use Kik (is it like “kiki”)together right?! I learned that if you type over the date for the birthdate it doesn't recognize it, I reloaded and deleted over and over as it kept saying I wasn't allowed because I wasn't an adult just so others know. As you already know I've made it to you on there! What soup are you making?

@broncobuddee Prayers to you with the medical issues, I hope you'll be back and feeling better soon! @trooworld is there anything I can do for now to help?

@vegan4lyfe2012 Thanks I'll check it out then! I hope so too! Funny I've been imagining your fridge, when you do it please share a photo. You definitely have to find us on Kik before your surgery so we can chat with you! Great way to eat well prior to surgery, you need good nutrition to heal well!

Hi friends, I went for my next post-op appointment x-rays this morning which didn't take long. I've been baking, wrapping presents, and and worked out and need to get back to the wrapping. Not sure if I'll get to Christmas cards, I don't have many stamps left and thought I did! Have a great Tuesday tomorrow!
