Watching tv - reading a magazine - washing - really would like a nap - it's almost noon.. Got my fish out defrosting for dinner - need to go to the post office but have till 1/31 to return my qvc coat... I don't feel like getting dressed - I'm still in my workout clothes from this morning - May shower and put on jammies/sweats and call it a day ;0) - there tons that I could and should be doing BUT .... Why do anything today what I can put off till tomorrow That's my motto today... lol... :laugh::w00t::tt2:

Thanks. :biggrin: Apples - You crack me up :0) - Hope today is a better day - I know you haven't had an episode in a while - Hugs Again - My tolerance for pain is so so - but I hear stones are worse than having a baby :0)... Great - I agree White Christmas isn't really a Xmas movie IMHO - and humor from then to today is totally diff.. Sounds like you needed that nap... I think sleep is healing - when I am sick I sleep alot... Linda - I gotta say I would have never chosen to see Avatar but it is a good movie - long but good.. WTG on the 14 lbs I think we all are afraid of gaining - I have kept the weight off for 1.5 yrs - but know if I let my guard down - it could so easliy come back on.. I would love to take my stuff christmas stuff down - but just not feeling it today :0) Charlene - I use to be a big cheese eater - read the calories on it - that's what stops me - it's too high in calories for me Wtg on getting back to exercise - I saw something this morning on the news - Snow Texas - is it in your area?? How's your pain issues.. LauraK - Yep Holiday's and food - we never made the xmas cookies - had enough junk :0) didn't need anymore... Yep Julies I am home today - hope Mimi is feeling better - glad shoulder not too bad - WTG on fighting the stupid Ins Companies.. Deb - I don't care for my stepbro's gf either - I like you try and just go w/the flow for the holidays :0) - all in all it won't be that bad and I hear you on ready for them to go - love the visit - but you want to get back to your normal routine.. We tend to become very routine in our old age lol. My trainer is 43 and he doesn't want to go out for NYE either - but his 37 yr old gf does ;0) Good Morning Gang... The kids just left ;o( - I will be worried till they get home safely - I worry about them on the road - I guess it's the insurance person in me - Accidents... I ate good yesterday - didn't get up to eat last night - In fact I slept quite well - got up at 6:30 ( had my coffee - went to the gym did my 3.5 mile burned 500 cal Got home at 8:15 everyone still asleep ... I have more energy than my 32 yr old DIL and my 38 yr old son.. Got the house packed up (all their xmas presents) and packed in the truck - had to cover stuff as they may hit some rain on their way home I think every towel in the house is dirty - have one load started - sheets stripped - My Sis and DH are coming soon - I need to call them to find out when.. I haven't been on the scales yet - I don't think I will get on till Thursday - I am afraid of what they say.. I threw out the last piece of cake this morning since Joseph was leaving - proud that I didn't eat any last night... Back to healthy eating and getting all my days in at the gym - no more oh I can miss today :0) This morning Joseph said - "You have been to the gym already this morning" - "you don't play around do you" - nope dear I don't want to be over weight again - I gotta be serious about this - It's my life we are talking about.. Well time to put towels in dryer and another load in the wash.. Glad to have the house back to normal - Like I said I loved all the family - but am glad to get back to my normal stuff... CBL

Good Morning Gang... The kids just left ;o( - I will be worried till they get home safely - I worry about them on the road - I guess it's the insurance person in me - Accidents... I ate good yesterday - didn't get up to eat last night - In fact I slept quite well - got up at 6:30 (today is my furlough Tuesday) had my coffee - went to the gym did my 3.5 mile burned 500 cal Got home at 8:15 everyone still asleep ... I have more energy than my 32 yr old DIL and my 38 yr old son..

Apples - Hugs & Sympathy being sent your way... I know you get them often - Can't you take some pain meds for them.. Cheri - I guess I didn't have that much fat around my stomach - I haven't had a fill since 1/08 - it will be 2 yrs next month.. But as we all know we are all diff with our fills.. Melissa - I have read where the bands hold more the the # of cc that they are - but then I read where's that's untrue to - I don't know the answer to that one. I would say that maybe it's not placed in the right place.. Well back from the gym- kids had pizza - I'm having fish/rice and veggies - done with unhealthy food for a while :0)

Candice No more jogging - it's not good for our knees - and you need to have a trainer show you how to do the weights so that you don't injury yourself... Menudo is made with Tripe (cow's stomach - honeycomb tripe) and a cow's foot (minus the hoof) hominy which is big corn.. I think you might want to go to a authentic mex restaurant and try it before you make it - I like it but I eat oysters on the half shell - escargot - weird stuff in some pples book - I like sushi - Mexican's can take all the scraps and make a meal - stuff most pple throw away Well back from the gym - the kids got pizza - ugh - I am making fish - steamed green beans & rice - the only problem is the cake isn't gone - I am going to do my best not to eat it to nite.. Idrise (trainer) gave me an Vicky (workout partner) new years resolutions - Vickey has to lose 15 lbs and then I asked him what was mine - he really had to think about it - he says well you keep bitching about being up 5 lbs - so your goal is to get to 133 so that you can have the 5lbs to play with and be 138 - the lowest I have every been is 136 when Karri was here - he gave me to 2/14 to lose it and Vicky has to lose 10 by then - I seriously doubt that I can get to 133 - don't have any real urge to - but will get back to 138 - am going to have to make sure I hit the gym 4 days a week if not 5..

Candice - I think/hope all junk will be gone by the time I get home tonite ... I had bought choc chips to make cookies - but I ended up opening them and eating them with walnuts - I threw 2 have eaten bags away last week... Food today - BF - 1/4 c peanuts - Lunch 1.5 cup menudo soup - Dinner ??? I won't know til I get home - I have gym tonite and will go tomorrow morning.. Well don't know if I will be back on tonite as kids may be leaving tomorrow..

Glad you had a good time w/the girls!!! I have one more day w/mine - I think they are leaving tomorrow.. Congrats on your size 12 - wtg !!!! I could take a nap right now - it's almost 3 p.m. and I have gym tonite - You could be at my house w/a 5 yrs who has this gutiar and thinks she's a rocker chick - I would take the quiteness :0)

Cheri What is way to much food.. You aren't going to (nor should you) be so tight to keep sliders from going down And no matter how tight you are the cravings aren't going to stop. I am phsyically full from dinner - but I still want to eat at night too - so much so that sometimes I get pissed that I can't eat more food -- but I can sneak sliders in after about and hourt.. I don't have ADHA - I'm 2.5 yrs out - and GF the old habit are still there - I don't know if they will every go away - I don't think it has anything thing to do w/your ADHA - but with your addiction to food - and addictions don't go away

I don't care how tight you are sweets slip right on thru... It's done - it's over - get back to eating healthy and add a couple of extra days of phsyical activity the lbs will come off again...

Great Yep Black Eye Peas for Luck & Collard Greens for Prospertity Southern Traditions ;0) I love you DH idea what to do w/parents when DD gets married - you sure don't need them in the mix before the wedding..; Wtg on your knee - Tomorrow I will get some down time hopefully - it's my Furlough Tuesdays since Friday is a holiday :0)....

Oh ya gf my maternial instinsts would have flown out the window once he called be a "B" too and it was no accident as we all know - what word could he have been typing that's like bitch - witch - same meaning :0) - and the whole adopted thing too - total maniuplator - I am glad you are pissed - it's better than the sadness - I love do they have wifi under a bridge lol...

Cheri Glad you are taking control of your life !!! Why do you think you need a fill you are 7 lb from goal... I wouldn't think you'd need a fill at this point.. Charlene - My house hopefully will be sweet free by the time I get home - there was some choc cake left - I threw away the fudge - Kids should be leaving tomorrow - so the whole sweet and excuses for them will be gone :0)...

Good Morning Gang.... You all have been busy :0) LauraK - I was just like you on my 3rd fill - my brain needed it - I didn't - they took all out except for .1 and that was enough of a brain fill to help me - I think I could use another one of those brain fills :0)... Just take tiny bites and eat slowly - I know on Xmas night I could barely eat my meat - but had no problem w/potatoes :0) and the rest of the junk (sweets) that I have eaten the last few days If fact what was left over of the fudge I made went in the trash this morning - and I will not be making Xmas cookies w/DGD's I don't need more sweets.. I have had enought !! Melissa - OMW the guy had no insurance - well that's the pits - hope you all are really ok now that a couple of days have passed - I know I got rear ended once - just a bump really but the next day I was sore... Apples - Working on tax stuff already :0)... Glad you had a good time with your adoptedr family - they aren't fake they are adopted :0) Great - OMW girl you got me beat on the shopping !!!! Those gift cards burnng a hole in your pocket :0) - WTG on your deals though - you did great... Glad the holidays are over so you won't have to deal w/your family for a while :0) Phyl - Hugs on DS issue - Tough love hurts us the most - It's really hard to do - I can do it no problem when I am mad - but other than that I have a hard time.. Laura - Glad you all had such a great Christmas w/your Dad and family - that's so wonderfull. Linda - You are doing so well after your hip surgery - I can't beleive your progress in such a short time.. Julie - Hope the shoulder's better - maybe it's the cold weather New Years Traditions - none really - Black Eye Peas for good luck - but that's about it - I don't always have them - hard to find in the stores this time of year if you haven't already gotten them. I want to stay home NYE and have a nice dinner and watch movies - but my gf Debbie wants to go out - we did that last year and it was boring - we were home by 10.. But again I have done the whole party thing on NYE when I was younger - she hasn't - so I guess we are going out - who knows.. Eva - We saw Avatar yesterday too - I would have NEVER picked this as a movie I thought I would want to see - but it was FANTASTIC... I did take a couple cat naps - it's 2:45 hr movie - but I LOVED it - will buy it when it comes out - to see the couple of parts I missed.. Well need to get this posted - I started this an hour ago :0) CBL

Good Morning Gang Phyl - Hugs - #1 how does DS have access to a computer? I don't know what to tell you on this one - I would have given in by now too - When does his job start.. It would have pissed me off about the getting my nails done - that would have turned off the maternial instinst for me.. As long as I can stay mad - I can do ok w/saying no.. Candice - I did hit the gym yesterday a.m. 3.5 mile 582 calories burned - I have eaten way too many sweets - they are all gone now - I threw away the rest of the fudge this morning - and I won't be making xmas cookies - we don't need them..

I'm signing off for the night - So everyone have sweet dreams of sugar plums MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT

Hey Deb - the love include you too :0) I love eggplant sounds good - Yep grandkids are great I was 36 when my GS was born - omw my maternal instincts went into over drive - His parents lived w/me when he was born and he's really my baby - they were just the surrogates ;0).. When his parents broke up when he was 2 - they had join custody - well - I had him from Thrusday to Sunday til he was about 4 - then got married and just saw him on the weekends for a couple years - got him back when he was 11 and he has lived w/me since - It's not that he's not wanted by his parents - it's cuz he wants to live w/me .. Apples - I ended up making a regular cake - but did write on it HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS. Oh my Brookie called (she's the 5 yr old) wanted to make sure I had cookies for Santa and she told me that I need to have Choc Milk as it's his favorite - I assured her that I already had the cookies and I would make sure that I made choc milk for Santa - Smile Smile Smile Got email from my bro jimmy's boys they are coming for dinner for sure- My DS & Family - My Uncle - My Stepbro and my other nephew and his 2 girls - I AM BLESSED I WILL HAVE ALmost all MY FAMILY WITH ME TOMORROW Well back to last minute stuff - will ck back in a bit

Well Gang I see everyone is gone already :0) doing family stuff - Well mine left their house about an hour ago - should be here 9:30 or 10 I got food shopping done - cake cooling on rack - cheesecake done - bought those precut sugar Cookies got them baked and iced so that Santa will have some on his plate tonite when he comes to go along w/his milk.. Ate a cheese/jalepeno tamale - took a power nap - had one cup of coffee - on my second - load of wash done.. Now just need to wrap DS compressor - nephew presents - do my cards and ck the guess room to see if it's decent. I may have a delima (sp) It's going to be Brooke - I hope she goes straight to bed cuz of the presents under the tree already - I think I am going to pump up the air mattress and put it infront of the tree so she can't see the presents - plus there will be the ones Joseph is bringing Well back at it - will cbl Hugs

WTH I just lost my Freaking Post.... Ok condensed verision - Back from last minute food shopping - Angel has had her bath and is all white & fluffy ;0) Took a 1/2 nap - drinking coffee - got the pre-cut sugar cookies to put on the Santa plate tonite (;0) they are baked and frosted DS just called they are leaving - should be here around 10 I have a bit of a delima - I have all the presents under the tree and DS is bringing theirs w/them - I am worried that Brooke won't go straight to bed when she gets here - so I have come up with this idea - I will put the air matteress infront of the tree so she doesn't see the presents.. Apples - You aren't junking up my theard - This is "Our" thread - I just started it ;0) and it is all about our individual me's ;0).. Heck I think you give better advice than me anyway :0) - You can express your thought so much better than me - I have a hard time doing that.. I get why you don't obsess about food - you got fat like most chefs do from tasting - I got fat cuz food brings me comfort - I controlled it - it was my defiance - I'll show you I'll eat myself to death :0) - I love the taste of food too - I enjoy eating.. Last night planned treat - cookies I brought home from work - they were good - but I ate them cuz they were here - yes I enjoyed them but I had to eat them all - just like an addict - 1 is not enough and 1 too many.. Great - Glad to hear that you have some peace and are coming to terms w/the family issues - IMHO I think your family DH DS DD & you are the perfect family and I would love to be hanging at your house this afternoon..

Oh Apples - here's another little thing about me - I love to make pple cry :w00t: Happy Cry that is When I pick out cards - I read them and find the most moving ones I can that express my feeling better than I am able too - You should see me standing at the card section in the stores - I will be just crying away... My DS is the same way a good trait that he got from his Mommy - On Mother's Day when I am opening my card - my DIL will say - he got you a book this year and you will be crying soon..
