I'm so glad I found this! I need help! All of my friends are skinny, I'm the fluffy friend that makes everyone else feel better about themselves. They don't make me feel that way, I do it to myself. Anyway I'm trying really hard to loose weight and be healthier. I'm not good at following any certain diet, so I'm just trying to only eat when I'm hungry and not too much crap. I've also started going to jazzercise! Heck, I never imagined myself doing that! It's actually amusing...............how,pray tell can anyone stand to work out in a thong? It's hard not to notice the lady in front of you is wearing one when she's bent over with her rear end a few inches from your face, and she's wearing see thru pants!

Hi Gang! I did not so great this weekend. My 3 kids were at my IL's in Atlanta (90 mins. away) so DH and I could go to his office Christmas party and finish our shopping. We also wrapped the big box the kiddos will open telling them we are going to WDW next month. We wrapped five boxes one inside the other with the words "Guess" "Where" "You're" "Going" on the inside boxes and the autograph books I made them and a Disney brochure in the last box. They saw the box today and think its a TV or a game system. I hope they are not disappointed!

DH and I ate out all weekend, which we hardly ever do. I didn't do terrible but eating out is always worse than eating in for me. But, I am back on the wagon tomorrow! It was nice having some grownup time, but I'm glad my kiddies are back under my roof. My dd8 threw up in the van on the way there on Friday (I admit, I littered. The leaking grocery sack she lost it in was left at the side of the road!) and then my dd5 threw up in the van on the way home today! They were both fine right after and don't usually get carsick, but there you go. Maybe it was their way of punishing me for leaving them at Baba and Zado's! (Slovak grandparents) Although, they are always spoiled rotten there. Nothing like getting several zoo souvies and new toys the week before Christmas! Anyway, I am ready for a healthy week of eating before I face the temptations of Christmas weekend.

I went back to the "crafty britches" store and bought some smaller ones to make a dozen more.

I bought gold string ribbon. It's a little stretchy. I made loops with that. Then because I needed them I bought a package of wire ornament hooks. There was a small and large sizes.

I took the small ones, rebent them like a bobby pin. I put the loop at the elbow of the bobby pin and pushed it into the styrofoam. Perfect!

I also bought the red glitter spray top coat. I must have gotten the defected one. It blew all the glitter in the first 10 seconds. So I have a few that are red. I wanted to do the whole dozen. Oh, well.

We did get the wreaths. I got wire and will connect them and put lights all over it. When Tim gets back in town he'll hang it over the garage.

Ok I ate a ton of broccoli for lunch. Testing the theory.

It was a good day over all.

11 glasses of water.

I did have 1/2 of a sugar cookie.

Here's to another great day for everyone tomorrow!

Sounds like ya can burn off calories just laughing...or backing up away from thong lady...quickly!

This is the most supportive fun thread around! A bunch of great ladies and one great guy who is currently MIA!

 

[Poohbear77]

Winkers- I can soo relate to the skinny friend thing. ALL of my friends range from size 2 to size 8 I tell you I must really them in order to submit myself to that torture !!!

Ellester- I love the idea of the gift box disney surprise. I would love to see your little one's faces when they figure it out.
I love surprizes, but my mouth is as BIG as my BUTT!! So it just does not work out.

MonyMony- I am off to read you're report. I got to read page 1 earlier today and it looks like it is gonna

I have just started this whole, eating healthy, losing weight thing after I had a meltdown yesterday because I couldn't fit into any of my clothes anymore.
I work in a school (elementary librarian) and everyone brought goodies for our Christmas party today. It's all set out in the workroom and I just walked past a chocolate donut and didn't look back.
One small step forward.

It's an occupational hazard. I was a school librarian at 3 schools until I got bumped out of my position, and every school had a constant barrage of tempting foods.
Great job on walking past the donut. I always tell myself they smell and look better than they taste.

I'm not even one of your kids and I'm this excited !!!!!!

You are the coolest mama ever!

My dd2 threw up in Walmart 30 mins ago and it wasnt pretty. All over her fur coat. Has a furnace fever! We just got done with the Gomboo and it's back with a vengence!

Sounds like a Van Dam movie: "Gomboo II: This time it's Personal"

Broccoli? Rhut Roh! Get the Charman Extra!!!! (go away tag fairy!)

Dang. Fetch. Pooh!!!! I went to walmart again and forgot the fixxins to do Mickey heads! It's not the store I want to get the stuff (Michaels would keep me entertained for a good hour!) but still! Norah had a Gomboo attack so we had to pay and skee-dattle outa dodge!

Madam Crafty Britches!!!! Bua-hahahahaha!!!

It is!!! This place feels like "Home" to me! It's the first place I go!

I hope my other green-haired buddy is doing well! I miss "heem"!

That thong lady is just wrong! My size 22 neice is one of those who wear the thong sticking out of her low rise jeans....bless her heart. (You can gossip about someone as long as you follow it with "Bless her Heart"...FYI)

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I wanna low heat glue gun! Have you heard of a glue pot? it's a warmer filled with the cooler melted glue. I would think that'd be handy for floral or whatever. I want to go snuggle in and watch something like QVC (my secret vice...dont buy stuff, just want to!)

Ugg....I just ate a whole wheat and peanut butter and apricot spread samich just as I was reading your post....I broke like 10 rules! I let myself get super hungry past my eatin' time! I want a "do over" and I'd drink a big glass of water to see if Im just thirsty. If so, just a handful of nuts... I totally suck late at night!



Everyone:
Ok, I LOVE all y'all! Good Night!!!! Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for the little barfing furnace!
Big Hugs to all!!!

 

[dwheatl]

UM-Sorry about Norah and the Gomboo. That sounds like a kid's book to me, but apparently, not one many of us would want to read.

Ellester-Your kids are so lucky. That's the best present ever, and even if they don't appreciate it when they open the box, they will when they see Mickey .

to all. I promised I would post what I ate today, so here it is:
B-1 c. Kashi Good Friends w/ 1 TB dried cranberries, 1/2 c. 1 % milk, decaf w/SF FF cocoa (only 25 cals a serving)

L-Turkey sandwich w/spinach on Oroweat lite bread, carrots, diet 7-up plus, small orange, caramel apple flavored FF SF yogurt

S-Graham cracker sticks

D-1 c. whole wheat rotelli, 1/2 c. LF tomato mushroom sauce, 2 Morningstar Farms sausage patties (bought for vegetarian DS, but he became vegan and they have egg whites in them-pretty tasty, 80 cals a piece, 3 g fat, 2 g fiber)
salad w/romaine, spinach, and broccoli, 1 TB Bleu cheese vinaigrette

Des-1/2 c. lite peppermint ice cream w/2 TB SF fudge (200 cals total)

It looks like a lot of food, but it's 1300-1400 calories. I get HUNGRY chasing around w/ the kinder-winders. I rode the exercise bike for 1/2 hour tonight to try to burn off a little of yesterday's party. I feel GOOD! Hope y'all do too! It's worth it to keep trying. We're looking good!

Ok, just took some photos of the mickey head ornaments I made yesterday. I am fully aware of some bald spots. I only bought one can of spray paint and ran out. Tonight we go back to buy more supplies. I love how these turned out. I am making more tonight and will touch up the rest. I made 12 little ones to hang and the big one is the topper.

All of them:

Big one:

Little one:

These are relly great . I am off xmas shopping this morning and will now be visiting craft shops to see if I can make something similar.

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING, PEEPS!

You guys were very talkative yesterday....took me a while to catch up. I can offer no individual advice since I had a very bad diet day yesterday....the staff Christmas party. Suffice to say it was a very large meal early in the day. I did not eat again all day but I also did not exercise for fear of barfing.

WHAT I LEARNED FROM MY BINGE: This last month has really changed my body. I am not used to eating large amounts of food and it doesn't set well with me. Large amounts of food are not satisfying...they just make me fell puffy and gross. Like I did yesterday....ALL DAY! Back to happy habits today.

 

[pixie dust 112]

Morning Peeps....Just wanted to let you know that I bask in the glory of the small things in life...today's moment for me is that my bra strap keeps falling down. This means less fat on the right shoulder....left shoulder strap is staying up sooo.. I figure if I borrow Spongie's shoes I'll have a reputation too!

 

[mom0299]

My name is Anne. I'm new to this board and already can feel it working. I didn't want to eat too much at our school Christmas party because I didn't want to let anyone down.
I am 34 years old and have been married for 13 1/2 years. We have two wonderful children, Nathan (9) and Sidney (7). I am an elementary school librarian, so I get to go to school with my kids every day. I love my job. I an really into scrapbooking and I love to read. We are all involved with our church and we like to go hiking. I'm not much of a cook, but I'm trying. We live in East Tennessee where my husband grew up. I grew up in Texas, Georgia, Tennesse, and Idaho before going to college in East Tennessee and meeting my husband.
I don't have a picture of myself. I'd love to read more introductions. This board is great!

Monica – I love your Mickey ornaments! But why aren’t they LIME green??!

Melinda – Nice to meet you! I, too, LOVE all the period pieces – Pride & Prejudice, Dangerous Liaisons, The Age of Innocence. What a great idea – I’m all for it. Getting to know you, getting to know all about you… I’ll work on my quickie bio later today!

today's moment for me is that my bra strap keeps falling down. This means less fat on the right shoulder

Ha ha ha ha, I love your reasoning!

Mom0299 – Hi! Nice to meet you, too!


Time to be accountable...
Not a good day for me. I didn't really do that much damage yesterday diet-wise, just a couple Reeses cups, but I'm feeling really, really run down and just could not work out last night. That would have left me feeling not-so-great by itself, but the icing on the proverbial cake was that I completely snapped at DS. He was arguing every freakin' thing I said and I finally snapped, yelled at him and, frankly, wasn't very nice. I felt a thousand times worse after that and just went to bed at 8pm, after apologizing to DS and giving him some much-needed snuggling. Woke up at 6am this morning and still felt exhausted and, well... guilty. Gotta get past this today. Please tell me he won't be scarred for life!

Heading out for some coffee...
