TracyK

Good morning everyone~ Wow, I really slept good last night. Got alot accomplished yesterday. Emptying out closets to bring stuff to goodwill...including toys that were overflowing in dd room. We rearranged some furniture and just did some spring cleaning even though it isn't spring. I despise clutter and being suffocated so we rearranged things to open it up in here are give the illusion of more room. Much better! Terry-did santa come visit hero? Pamela-oh my goodness, redoing a bathroom will be SO much fun! When do you think the project will start? Jenn-congrats on going back to school. I never even started college. I am kicking around the idea of doing it though. I haven't even taken the SAT. I am proud of you. Michelle-still loving your laptop? I adore mine! So did you manage to fill the stockings without waking the kids? lol Kat-I agree with Terry, your dsil sounds like a dick (for lack of a better word, lol) That was a great idea Manda had about wrapping the boot box! I am going to steal her idea!! Judy-go us! I know that we will all do fantastic with our renewed, rekindled fire to lose this weight. I jst wish I would have gotten the fire a little sooner....like around Thanksgiving :sad:. Oh well, the past is the past! Jane-how are things with you? Do you have a dr appt today? I thought you said you do either today or tomorrow to maybe find out some results of your tests? Suzie-when is the Eagles concert? I love the Eagles! TracyinKS-hope you are doing good an that your family had a great Christmas! Laura & Haydee-hope you are having a great time on your trips! I miss my friends when they aren't here I am sure you have all heard by now about the man that went and shot up his ex-wife and her family at their Christmas party then set the house on fire...then killed himself, killing 9 people I think?! Dear God what is the world coming to? To shoot an 8 year old girl in the face when she opened the door while wearing a santa suit? There is a special place in hell for that dude. Ugh. I hope all of you have a great day and try to make healthy choices! (don't forget your water too) :Banane20:

YAY PAMELA!! I am SO happy for you sista! :tongue_smilie:

Janie-whenever it gets here I will let you know. Like I said, no worries :tongue_smilie:

Jenn-I 2nd what Terry said. You can always call me too :tongue_smilie: We are all here for you and think you have alot of potential and just need to focus on a new you!

HI HERO!! :tongue_smilie:

Good morning everyone! Day #2. I feel better already and I know that it is a head thang. But, whatever it is, I am happy about it. Funny how our mindset can control so many things. Outlook, energy, choices we make, our mood in general. It is all in what we CHOOSE. I am just glad that the fire is back and that WE chose for it to come back. I am quite excited about it...can you tell :tongue_smilie: Not sure how often I will weigh. Probably like before every 2 or 3 days. I do not have Judys patience to do it once a week. I need it to keep me honest. If I did it once a week, I would cheat for 4 days then eat right for 3. Not cool:thumbdown: Supposed to rain here today so my goal is to stay vertical instead of horizontal I am going to try to stay busy cleaning. Have a fantastic day girlies! Make healthy choices.

Day one on the wagon is complete:hurray: Goodnight violet sistas! :laugh:

Judy...have some buttered popcorn @ the movies in my honor :hurray:

i had christmas cards in my mailbox :hurray: It is fun to get them, even after christmas! lol

now....I am official

Good morning everyone! My name is Tracy and I am a foodoholic. Wow, it feels good to be back in violet rehab. I was so looking forward to being sober again. When I am done with this post I am going to make a ticker showing how much I am going to lose. I am so excited! My plan is kind of iffy on exactly what I wanna lose because I wanna keep a fuller face like I have now but I wanna lose the rolls I regained on my BACK of all places! My poor face was looking skeletal like Achmed the dead terrorist (for those of you that are familiar with JEFF Dunahm). I do not want to have that long skinny scarey face again, so I will lose until I see the turkey gaggle then stop. If my memory serves me correctly I think it will be somewhere in the 180s. I was paying too much attention to numbers before instead of how I feel & look. THAT is what I will go by this time. So, the main goal is to get to 18something (before I croak) then reevaluate myself. So, my new ticker will reflect getting to 185 and then take it from there. That is my plan. 12/27/08 is my all or nothing day :thumbup: What a coincidence, that is today! Seems like there is alot of violets climbing back aboard the bandster wagon! WOOHOO :Yawn:. We can accomplish anything! Once again, Judy is my inspiration :smile:. Have a fantastic day everyone. Make healthy choices! Pamela...back away from the rum balls! :w00t:

Just finished my last MJC. Now, I can not have another one until February 14th.

YAY, christmas/baking/holiday junk food is OVER!! WOOHOO! :w00t: I have never in my life been so glad to give away cookies! My Boston Cream Pie was fantastic by the way...:thumbup:. Jane-it is so good to see you online! :smile: Have a great night everyone! I am BUSHED and it is only 6:15 PM. :Yawn:

Good morning- Going to moms today to have our family get together. Unfortunately dh can't go because he is working. Over the river and through the woods, to grandmothers house we go....lalalala.... Have a great day everyone. To all those folks who are getting back on the bandwagon today or next week, best wishes...it will be a long road but we can do it with no short cuts Make healthy choices! :tongue2:

I made my first (2) banana breads today...Gosh, it was so good I would have swore my mom came over and made it for us! I hope the family loves it tomorrow. I also made my very first Boston Cream Pie. Looks yummy....hope it taste that way. I am officially DONE BAKING! Thank you Jesus. I feel like doing a happy dance. Judy, I love having my laptop in my LAP :tongue2:. Its really nice to have my butt parked in front of the TV in the living room. Brings laziness and spoiled to a whole new level! Have a great evening everyone.

My heart goes out to Terry, Pamela and Michelles friend/family. This time of year hurts when you have lost someone you care deeply about. Special hugs :tongue2:

Merry Christmas Violets!

We are going to be putting out the reindeer food & water soon. Then when Macy has visions of sugarplums dancing in her head I will be wrapping presents. :thumbup: Santa is bringing her cupcake maker she wanted so badly. So, I know what my day will consist of tomorrow. Then, Friday we have the gathering at my moms for our family. I am bringing a boston cream pie and ALL the cookies I made for everyone and the banana bread to my family. Then SATURDAY is my day...no more sweets and no more baking for a year! I am actually looking forward to the house being sugar free. Sweet dreams everyone!

Jane is out of the hospital!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS JANE!!

Laura-we used the glue ones at work and one day a mouse was running down the hallway dragging the trap....his tail was stuck to it. lol

Michelle-you excited 'bout somethin'???

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.... they are at Lauras house partying! lol :thumbup: Judy, save one of the poinsetta branches for me....k? Merry Christmas friends...

Jenn-so what you are trying to say is you LOVE the mug? lol I am gonna order me one! lol I ordered Jenn a mug with our laughing pic from Gruene that Tracy has on her signature...it is great. Such a good reminder of fun times!! :thumbup: Hi GINA!! Merry Christmas! Goodnight violets :thumbup:

Hi everyone! The kids are all here and we are going to the festival of lights. Most of the baking is done, thank God. I only had 4 cookies all day so that is a huge accomplishment. Have a good night everyone!
