[lisah0711]

Good morning all!

We have 3 1/2 weeks to get right back on track before the Thansgiving Day festivities -- we can do it!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to take a day for coaching starting Friday, 11/5. We still have a couple of openings -- one on Tuesday, 11/9, and another on Thursday, 11/11. I will add the schedule to the coaching schedule when I am done with this post.

Lindsay, hope you are feeling like yourself again soon and that your trick or treater was feeling better!

CC, hope that the party was a blast!

Just a quick post to say hello and that my DH's work is collecting Halloween candy tomorrow to send to the troops in Afganistan. What a great idea! We get rid of the candy and it goes to some deserving people. Have a great day everyone!

That is a great idea -- do you have any idea what the name of the organization is?

tiki23, I loved your costumes -- you have a clever group of friends!

jude, good job heading off to boot camp this morning!
Since the Princess is later in the month maybe we will miss Jersey Week although I think Kathy's school are out the week before the race or is is after?

dona, , I remember all the work that you did the last two Thanksgivings hauling things, planning ahead, cooking up a storm. I hope your in-laws appreciate it, even if the brothers and SILs don't. I'm glad that you are taking the high road.

Deb, you and your family looked very pirate-y! That house was amazing -- I thought the cannons out the window was a nice touch.

What is your favorite holiday? What is your favorite food during that holiday? Any plans to change menu or recipes for that holiday in the future to make it healthier?

My favorite holiday is Christmas. I love all the lights and decorations and hanging out with the family. We are lucky since it will be just the three of us we can do whatever we want. I might be more inclined to be sure there is a healthier option available but some of those things are once a year treats and I intend to enjoy them. I think you can have treats in a healthy lifestyle -- just not every day.

Connie, good job with the caffeine! I like to take a break from the computer sometimes, too. I think I'll take Sundays off from the computer for the month of November. Thanks for the idea!

Rose, we were at WDW on Christmas last year. It was crazy busy -- do not go to MK! We really enjoyed seeing all the decorations and if you are prepared for crowds and are willing to skip some things you will have a great time. We had a little fold up Christmas tree and had pictures of presents to open for DS. It is something that we will always remember.

Busy at work this week. Student led parent/teacher conference (a new format for us) and guests arriving Thursday. This week should fly by! But I'm starting off right with my training today and two runs this week so I making sure my training is in there too.

Have a great day all!

 

[tigger813]

UGH! Horrible sinus headache this morning! Finally catching up on all my shows from last week. Trying to take care of the Halloween decorations and get the living room ready for the Christmas decorations. Got some of that cleaning done yesterday and hope to accomplish the rest today. I had my protein shake this morning and will have another at lunch. Going to avoid the scale until Wednesday. Hoping I can get in a workout later if the headache goes away. I think I'll try an allergy pill and see if that helps!

[keenercam]

Hi, everyone! I am sorry I have been MIA. It was a crazy busy weekend. Friday night was the band pre-game party (the cupcakes were a huge hit). Then, we headed to DC early Saturday morning because Howard ran the Marine Corps Marathon yesterday.

LOVED all the Halloween pix! You guys are all so creative.

Deb, your BR looks awesome! LOVE the shells on the picture frames and around the thermostat. Very creative!

Maureen - -Congratulations on your race. I'm glad you were dressed comfortably.

Jeannette - Your new furbaby is so adorable!!

CC -- Good luck at the doctor today.

Sorry to all that I've overlooked. Just trying to accomplish some stuff at work when I am so exhausted that I could have just slept all day.

My eating was horrible from dinner Saturday through last night. I had lost only .6 last week and I think I just wasn't feeling the motivation. We did a huge family-style carb load dinner at Maggiano's Saturday night and I ate way too much: stuffed mushrooms, capresce salad (tomato & mozzarella), a salad with prosciutto & blue cheese, eggplant parm, a white pasta with mushrooms & grilled chicken, and chicken parm. I didn't eat the lasagna (how's that for restraint? LOL!) Dessert was profiteroles made with ice cream and cheesecake. Yep, I ate both. Completely crazy considering I wasnt' getting any miles in this weekend. So, what the heck was I thinking?

Yesterday wouldn't have been so bad if I'd eaten breakfast or lunch. Instead, I only snacked while out walking around near the finish and through the finish festival. (I probably got about 60 minutes of walking in, but it wasn't vigorous, by any stretch).

Then, by the time Howard finished, showered, and we packed and finally got out of the crush of traffic in and around DC, we got to dinner around 5:30 and I was starving. We went to Ruby Tuesday and I ate too much bad stuff at the salad bar and 2 of their new garlic biscuits. Dinner, at least, was good choices -- 6 oz filet, baked potato (nothing on it) and steamed broccoli. I should have just eaten the entree and not the salad bar, but neither of us could wait for our dinner so we added the salad bar. Bad choice for me since I didn't stick to the veggies.

The halloween candy isn't tempting me though we have a ton of it leftover at home. However, I ate a couple of cookies yesterday and ate one of the smaller leftover vanilla cupcakes with all the frosting scraped off onto Andrew's dessert plate.

Our kitchen table here at work is covered in candy. Thank God that isn't my thing. I also didn't bring the Saturday night leftovers in for lunch even though I had a plate packaged up and ready for today. Instead, I got right back on track. Bought a green salad on the way to work and will eat a frozen LC or WW meal. I am hoping Howard will eat that for dinner tonight so it doesn't present a temptation when I get home from the gym tonight.

 

[dvccruiser76]

Just jumping in to say hello.

Hugs to everyone feeling down or sick. We went to my MIL's this weekend and every time we go there I come home sick. I am very allergic to cats and Bendryl and Claritin don't seem to help, so after 2 days of it I end up with a sinus issue when we get home. Grrrr....

We took my DS(16 months) to the ENT last week. Looks like we may be doing tubes and removing his adnoids. Poor little guy.

I'll try to write more after work!

 

[Cupcaker]

My BF and I were looking forward to trick or treaters. We even went to get extra candy just in case we ran out. No one showed up. Which I guess was fine because I was exhausted from taking care of the furbabies and fell asleep at 8 watching Nightmare before Christmas. We’re crate training the puppy. This means we have to get up practically every 3 hours throughout the night to take her out to potty.

Other than that, yesterday was nice. My parents came over. My dad is awesome. Our sprinkler system is broken so he came over to fix it. My shower was acting up and he fixed that. My mom helped watch the “kids” as I ran to Home Deport to buy parts. My mom even brought me some size 6 pants. And guess what, they fit. A little tight at the top, but overall ok. They will fit perfect when I hit my goal in four pounds.

Im behind on my project. Its due this Wednesday. Im kind of glad Im going to work tomorrow so I can focus on work. It will be my BF’s turn to watch the dogs. I’ll be back on this Wednesday. Im going to concentrate the next two days to get this project done. Hope everyone is doing well.

My all-time favorite go to snack is M&Ms. Though I'm happy to admit that I haven't had any in about a week I think. We always have a jar on the end table with them in it.

That takes a lot of control. Good for you!

Friday night nicholas my 3 year old came to my bedroom door at 3 am. I opened it and was startled. He apparently came down with croup and was barking like a dog and sounded like he was breathing through a tiny straw.

Poor thing. I hope he is feeling better and enjoyed Halloween.

Just a quick post to say hello and that my DH's work is collecting Halloween candy tomorrow to send to the troops in Afganistan. What a great idea! We get rid of the candy and it goes to some deserving people. Have a great day everyone!

That’s such a good idea. Too bad I don’t know anyone that’s doing that over here. I have so much candy left over.

Hi, everyone! I am sorry I have been MIA. It was a crazy busy weekend. Friday night was the band pre-game party (the cupcakes were a huge hit). Then, we headed to DC early Saturday morning because Howard ran the Marine Corps Marathon yesterday.

That’s great everyone loved the cupcakes. Don’t worry about this past weekend. You have the entire week to work it off!

I did lose some weight though, I think I was just burning it off with adrenalin and being in the semi-permanent freak-out state due to DD's choir stuff and the big Halloween party we hosted.

Your party looks great! I like the Disney costumes.

I'm starting back up with my old boot camp class tomorrow AM. I took break so I could concentrate on getting ready for my Half but now it's time to work on both my running and the boot stuff. Now that I'll be adding more lifting into my routine any weight loss will be slowed

Hope boot camp was non-painful today.

I just got an email from one of my sis in law. She is having Thanksgiving this year. I have cooked Thanksgiving for my in laws at least 4 out of the last 5 years and the only reason I didn't do it that one year was it was my mother's birthday on Thanksgiving. The email didn't even ask if I minded it just said that she and another sis in law decided to do it at this other house. NO askking if I minded. NO saying you have done so much we think you should take a break. Just she is doing Thanksgiving.

That’s totally wrong and inconsiderate. And even to do it over email too?! I hope they come to their senses and apologize.

Lots of trick or treaters here...hoping my 20 bags of candy hold up or I'll be dipping into the kids stash....

Wow that’s a lot of candy and trick or treaters.

This is a house we went to. They hire professional decorators each year to do up their yard. They gave each kid a gift bag filled with full sized candy bars, single serving bags of chips...It was amazing and we fit right in

They really do go all out don’t they. Your costumes couldn’t have been more perfect!

What is your favorite holiday? What is your favorite food during that holiday? Any plans to change menu or recipes for that holiday in the future to make it:

My favorite holiday that involves food is Thanksgiving. I usually make the ham because we discovered that my ham actually tastes good! I use my grandmas super simple recipe so I credit her. I tend to load up on the more healthier items, but I am notorious for just getting a bite full of other stuff so I can taste it. It looks my plate look funny, kind of like a palette of paint.

We ran 10 miles yesterday and I am very happy to say--only minor stomach issues!!! Hopefully I have found something that works.

That’s great!

My favorite holiday food is swedish spritz cookies my mother always made. They're an almond flavored butter cookie you use a cookie press for. I can remember her always baking them, and she made them in s and o shapes, and we'd love to sample while she baked, and lick the bowl. She made a ton, and as adults, whenever we'd go over her house, we'd have some, and she'd bring a tin to my house. My brother and I each make them now, and we make more holiday shapes, but always have the s and o shapes too. Funny, they were only made for christmas, and I made some for michael's first communion, but otherwise, I feel like we'll keep them a christmas tradition.

What a sweet tradition.

Today has to be short because I have the appt on for my foot this afternoon as well.

Is the boot coming off today??????? Glad the party went well yesterday.

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

Hi all. I am making my daily check in. I dont have much time to reply but I did read up on how everyone was doing.

I was up for most of the night last night with Nicholas. I almost took him to the ER from the trouble he was having with breathing. I got it calmed down a bit with at home remedies for croup. My mom and dad were so nice to each take half days today to help us out. I took Nick into work with me to be checked....the luxuries of running a peds office. My mom picked him up from there. He got some oral steroids and already seems a little better. I am hoping tonight goes better. I am completely exhausted. Work was insane today. I had a few people call out....it seems everyone has the sinus/cough stuff right now.

The miracle of the day for me was that I got on the scale feeling very guilty about my total junk binge this weekend and I actually lost a little bit. I honestly dont understand but I will take it. I did really well eating today and once again am back on track....now I just have to make it last.

Ryan turns 6 next tuesday so we are having bday parties for him this wkend. Friday is our friends and thier kids for a TS3 movie party, Saturday is my family for a star wars party, and sunday is my dh's family which only consists of his mom, step dad, and nana. We are having any leftovers that day. It seems a little crazy but it just works out better to seperate parties when we just have them at the house. Our house is not tiny but not big either. I just hate to have every body cramped in so I make myself nuts doing 3 seperate days. Also throw in another flu clinic I have going at work saturday morning. Needless to say my stress level is a bit high right now.

Oh the QOTD-

Christmas is my favorite. I love the whole season. Its all about traditions for me. Cutting down the tree, decorating, baking, driving and looking at lit up houses, xmas music, xmas play at sunday school, etc. My favorite food at christmas time is my mom's pizza meatballs. They are a small appetizer meatball and are so yummy. I really just plan to not over induldge except for xmas day itself.

 

[cclovesdis]

The good news is that I don't have to wear the boot anymore! My fractured bone has healed! But, I am still not allowed to hit the treadmill. He said in a week or so and not to rush re-introducing run/walk intervals.

Oh well. No boot is better than nothing! Plus, I can put pressure on my foot so I'll finally know how much I weigh.

Thanks for all the good wishes today and all along with my foot!

Have a great day tomorrow!

Kathy: What a great tradition you have! We are carrying on my great-grandmother's fried stuffed squid recipe and I know that means so much to me.

Student led parent/teacher conference (a new format for us)

Huh? I've never heard of this. Sounds interesting.

Tracey: Are you feeling any better?

Instead, I got right back on track. Bought a green salad on the way to work and will eat a frozen LC or WW meal. I am hoping Howard will eat that for dinner tonight so it doesn't present a temptation when I get home from the gym tonight.

gym and preplanned meals!

dvccruiser: on DS. I've heard good things about having tubes and removing adnoids. I know a kid that had both done and he did a 180.

My BF and I were looking forward to trick or treaters. We even went to get extra candy just in case we ran out. No one showed up.

I feel you. We only had about 30 kids and were prepared for at least 2x that.

I've been trying to figure out what to do with all of the leftovers. My sister took me to my dr's appt (thanks for asking ) and left with a few bars. How sad.

Lindsay: Hope Nicholas is doing better tonight.

for your loss!

 

[Cupcaker]

The good news is that I don't have to wear the boot anymore! My fractured bone has healed!

YAY NO MORE BOOT!!!

 

[tigger813]

Good evening losers!

Sorry I've been MIA today. I literally cleaned from 8:30am until I took DD1 to dancing at 5. Then I came back at 6 and just sat down now. I am wiped and my sinuses aren't helping. I ended up buying some severe sinus OTC meds at Shaw's while DD1 was at dancing. I think it may be helping though I did have a coughing fit earlier.

I had a protein shake for b'fast and one for lunch. I had a handful of M&Ms and 2-3 small pieces of chocolate all day and some Werther's throughout the day. I did have a can of diet soda as I was hoping the caffeine might help with my head. For supper I had a small dish of cheeseburger macaroni hamburger helper. I also had an apple during the day. Tummy has been off and on all day. Got that bloated thing going on again. I did drink a lot of water today.

Kids just went to bed. DH and I are catching up on shows. I hope to slowly start putting up my holiday village this week when I'm home. Working 9-2 tomorrow covering while my coworker is at Disney this week. I have one client and then will run the desk.

Can't wait to get out of work and run to Target to get TS3 and the new Taylor Swift CD tomorrow. I also want to pick up a TS coloring book so the kids can color the pictures at DD2s b'day party on Sunday while watching the movie. I have everything together for the party. I will pick up ice cream sometime during the week. We will order pizza right before the party starts. I have 6 yeses and 4 maybes. I also need to pick up some chips, popcorn, etc.

QOTD: What's your favorite tv show?

We watch way too much tv! We are watching The Next Iron Chef right now. Our favorite show is a tie between Big Bang Theory and Glee. DH doesn't like to admit that he likes Glee. He does enjoy the music!

TTFN

 

[cruisindisney]

QOTD: What's your favorite tv show?

I actually have 2 and just finished watching one of them, CHUCK. My other favorite is Grey's.

Been wavering on my goals, which is a bad thing. I'm getting very close and I need to buckle down and just do it. If I can get this done by Christmas, that would be the best gift to myself. Having my knee starting to hurt really threw me.

I took a week off from running and did research. Turns out it was possibly my five finger shoes. I have gone back to my regular running shoes and using the KT tape on my knees. I did a few short runs and looks like I'm going to be ok. That's encouraging! I'm still taking it easy, but at least I am running again and it does help my motivation.

 

[my3princes]

I survived day number 1 of both jobs. It was a long day, but doable. I think I'll like the new job.

QOTD: my favorite tv show is the Amazing Race. DH and I watch it religiously.

 

[Connie96]

Hey ladies!

I'm sorry I don't have time for replies tonight. I have a chance to get to bed at a reasonable time and I am headed that way.

I had a really good day as far as food goes, but didn't do any kind of exercise. I need to do better about that. 5-mile run on the agenda for tomorrow along with more good food choices.

19 days until my first 1/2 marathon. In that time, I hope to stick closely to my training plan and maybe, just maybe, lose about 5 more pounds.

Have a great night and I'll "see" y'all tomorrow.

 

[my3princes]

Good Morning. I am certainly remembering that I am not a morning person I need getting up at 6 AM to become habit. It will come, but not soon enough.

 

[tigger813]

I'm up and feeling lousy! Tummy is grumbling a lot and I can't stop coughing. Gotta work 9-2 today. Better take our little heater with me so my massage room will be warm enough for my client. Hoping the cough meds are kicking in now.

Hoping this stomach thing goes away today. It usually lasts 3-4 days. I think it's IBS but don't have any meds for that. Will just try and drink lots of water again today.

Almost time to take DD1 to the bus stop. Still trying to decide on supper tonight. Probably TJs orange chicken. That's quick and easy. DD2 has soccer at 5:30 and DD1 has dancing at 6:15. Looking forward to getting things done around here again tomorrow morning. Girls are getting flu shots at 2 during DD2s check up.

Hoping sometime this week or weekend to try and look through some cookbooks or cooking magazines. I have some Cooking Light mags to look at and maybe pick out some recipes for Thanksgiving. I have total control over the menu!

TTFN

 

[cclovesdis]

Good Morning!

I was very nervous, but I did it. I stepped on the Wii balance board and found out my weight. And, I'm down 1.8 pounds!

That's not a lot over 6 weeks, but I didn't gain and I couldn't be happier!

I know that would not have been possible if it wasn't for all of you!

YAY NO MORE BOOT!!!

Thanks!

Tracey: I WISH you were telling us that you are feeling better.

QOTD: What's your favorite tv show?

I watch very little TV. Jeapordy and the news are the usuals and of course The Biggest Loser!

cruisindisney: Glad to hear that you are running again!

I survived day number 1 of both jobs. It was a long day, but doable. I think I'll like the new job.

You are so optimistic! Love it!

Connie: for an OP day!

for sleep!

some recipes for Thanksgiving. I have total control over the menu!

That's great! Enjoy!

 

[lisah0711]

Good morning all!

Thank you to everyone who hopped in to fill in our empty coaching week!

It feels like fall around here. The leaves are falling, a cold wind is blowing, my body wants to hibernate in the house and fatten up for the winter . . . But I'm hoping it will be sunny today and I will be able to be outside for my short run today -- must fight biology!

Is everyone okay keeping HH on hiatus for now? I haven't heard from jenanderson but I know that she is okay and just needs a break now. Hopefully she will be back with us soon. If you have any questions or problems please PM me.

Way to get right back on track after your busy week-end, Cam!

There was an article sent by sparkpeople today that reminds us that you can double your weight loss by simply journaling your food. http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=1143
This is the time when we have a tendency to feel that we know what we are doing and get a little sloppy -- is it time to take a look at this again and make sure that we are spot on?

, dvccruiser, about your DS getting tubes and having his adenoids removed. It will be harder on his parents than it will be on him. My DS had tubes at 9 mos, 24 mos, and tonsils and adenoids out at 5 -- it would have been better to get them all over with at once. Hope that you are feeling better soon!

Good luck on completing your project, Cupcaker! It's nice to have your folks help you out!

, Lindsay, sorry for the sick kiddo. Hope that he is feeling better soon. That is one good thing about working in the peds office -- you know what to do. And you had a loss during the big stressful time -- hooray for you!

CC, no boot!

I'll let you know about the conference thing. I think it is their way of cutting the cord for the parents with parent/teacher conferences now that DS is a middle schooler. This whole year has been a big adjustment for me since I was used to being in the class every week and knew what was going on. My source of information is not so reliable these days. I want DS to take responsibility and learn from his mistakes -- I just didn't know it would be so hard to watch! (That's the one chick hen talking ).

Tracey, hope the tummy feels better soon! Do you think it was from the antibiotics for your bladder infection? Maybe some yogurt to balance things?

QOTD: What's your favorite tv show?

I don't watch tv much -- I would much rather read a book. I do watch BL but that is DVR'd so I can fast forward through the commercials and I'm not really into this season for some reason.

cruisindisney, glad to hear that you are feeling better. A lot of the folks on the Princess thread are recovering from injuries. It's good to take it easy on yourself!

Deb, great job surviving your long Monday! Glad that you like the new job!

JOANNEL, hope you enjoyed your first day, too!

Connie, you will rock your first half!


Have a great day all!

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

CC thats great.

Hey tracey I didnt realize you too were having a TS3 movie party for DD. My sons having the same thing friday night. I am making a few different kinds of pizza's and making some popcorn for the kids. Great idea! My mom works near target and is running at lunch today to get the movie for me. I have been worrying that they will sell out and I wont have the movie to play at the party. I still need to find TS plates and napkins. Our local party city didnt have them.

I took a week off from running and did research. Turns out it was possibly my five finger shoes.

Honestly I could not imagine running in those things either. I know they are suppose to be good but I just cant imagine why??? I saw a guy running in the halloween 5K before the parade on sunday barefoot???? Thats just nuts. I hope changing the shoes continues to help and that you can get back into your routine.

I survived day number 1 of both jobs. It was a long day, but doable. I think I'll like the new job.

glad you survived. You can do it!!!! Glad the new job is good.

I had a really good day as far as food goes, but didn't do any kind of exercise. I need to do better about that. 5-mile run on the agenda for tomorrow along with more good food choices.

Great job connie! Wow the half is getting close. Keep up the good work.

I was very nervous, but I did it. I stepped on the Wii balance board and found out my weight. And, I'm down 1.8 pounds!

Great job on the loss CC! That is huge considering you could have pouted and felt sorry for yourself and ate everything in site. Instead you continued on and even had a loss with no exercise. Great job

It feels like fall around here. The leaves are falling, a cold wind is blowing, my body wants to hibernate in the house and fatten up for the winter . . . But I'm hoping it will be sunny today and I will be able to be outside for my short run today -- must fight biology!

It actually felt like winter here this morning. All the car windows were frosted and it was so cold out. I am still wondering how I am ever going to get all my runs in during the winter. and I thought the summer heat was bad

 

[Dreamer24]

CC - I'm so happy you got the boot off! Congratulations on the weight loss! That's so tough to do while injured!
