HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!

Happy Thanksgiving, peeps. I made my vegan pumpkin pie last night, and the no sugar added cranberry orange sauce. I'll be putting the tofurkey in the oven in about an hour. I'm hopping on the exercise bike in a few minutes to burn off some anticipated eating. I'm going to try interval training (4 minutes of top effort, followed by 6 minutes of reduced speed). It's supposed to help break through a plateau (where I've been stuck for 2 weeks).

I was just reading on WebMD that people can eat close to 5000 calories on T'giving if they don't pay attention. So remember, eat what you love, skip what you don't really care for, make each bite count, and back on plan tomorrow.
Even if you ate 5000 calories today (which I have no intention of doing), that would be less than a pound and a half gain total (once the water retention is gone), easy enough to work off in a week. It's the continuing down that path for days or weeks afterward that really does us in.

Hi all~
My scale is lying. It said I gained back evey single oz I lost last week......... Maybe the blind cat batting it around had something to do with it.

Darn scale, shame on that scale (point my finger smilie)

Like my DH said, who cares if the elliptical machine is "cooler" and has more lights on it, if you don't use it....

So true

Well, my 'baby' girl is now 6. We did a Hannah Montana Rockstar party here and the kids played Disney Sing it on the PS2. If you havent seen that yet it is super cool. It plays the real videos and the lyrics show up on the screen. There are a ton of artists on there and it comes with a real microphone too. The kids had a blast....and I may have had some fun taking my turn too Here is my big girl:

And the cake I made her:

I made cookies on sticks in star shapes too, but I havent gotten that picture off the camera just yet.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Cute pictures! My DD3 LOVES Hannah Hannah as she calls her.

A huge thankyou to you all for you prayers, pixie dust and good thoughts - my baby niece came out of the hospital about an hour ago - she was allowed out because she managed to keep her food down for over an hour. Im not sure of the *exact* name of the condition she has - they did a scan on her, and a small part of her intestine is coming back on itself. This should right itself, but if she cant keep her food down over the next few days then she will have to go to the Childrens Hospital in the city for more tests. For the minute though shes home, happy and keeping her food down so thats all good!

Great news about your niece, pixie dust still flying over there from here

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY PEEPS

My mom was sick for a couple of weeks (we didn't know what was wrong), turns out the doctors thought she had pancreatic cancer (Which she does not). She came over this morning to give DD3 her birthday present (it was last Saturday) because she bought her a dress I wanted for her to wear today. She looks like she's losing more weight (she's thin to begin with). Can't really eat anything that doesn't make her stomach hurt. She has an inflamed pancreas and she has to go back to the doctors office (Dec 8th) so they can try and figure what is causing her pacreas to be so inflamed. I'm so relived it wasn't cancer because that was my worst fear, that I was going to lose her. That's what I'm going to be thankful for, my mom

Sending pixie dust for Mom.

I know the doctors know what they are doing, but I'm sending this link because this is what was making my brother so sick last year. He was infected with H pylori, and he got so thin and tired because he couldn't eat much of anything.

Good luck.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Instead of a meal tonight we're going to the movies to see Bolt. It looks so cute, but I'm skipping the popcorn. We are fixing something on Saturday though.
I think I've worked out more today than I have this entire month and I feel great!

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING PEEPS. May you all have a wonderful day!

That's what I'm going to be thankful for, my mom

Laura, sending pixie dust to your mum and to you.

Have a great day peeps

Hey Peeps

A huge thankyou to you all for you prayers, pixie dust and good thoughts - my baby niece came out of the hospital about an hour ago - she was allowed out because she managed to keep her food down for over an hour. Im not sure of the *exact* name of the condition she has - they did a scan on her, and a small part of her intestine is coming back on itself.

For the minute though shes home, happy and keeping her food down so thats all good!

Glad to hear baby is doing better. I've heard of that before and IIRC sometimes they have to do surgery to remove the part that is sliding around. I hope your niece doesn't have to go through that.

Dance~ Your DD is beautiful and that was a wonderful cake.

Laura~ I hope your mom starts feeling better soon. Hopefully the doc will be able to sort it out. I'm not sure I'd wait until Dec 8th though if she's losing a noticable amount of weight.

Regarding thanksgiving feasting: I can totally see 5000 cals becaue it's so easy to eat more that 2500 if you're not careful; however 5000 =

I was bad today, I didn't eat breakfast beaue I was cooking and then I ate some of the crispy turkey skin....... I didn't weigh or masure anything but I'm till full from lunch so I don't think I'm going to eat anymore tonight. If I do it wil be a bowl of cereal. I'm going to bed early so I can get up in the middle of the night to go get in line for some sale stuff. Thankfully the only "big bargain" I'm after is a printer for $30 and maybe some video games for the kiddos. If I don't get them, it's not the end of the world. (DH and I decided to wait on a new TV and blu-ray player until after the first of the year, otherwise I'd be out there with both elbows and a shoulder trying to maintain my place in line all night.)

I hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Posting early. I'm -0.5 lbs. this week. Wish it was more but at least it's not a gain considering the numerous Thanksgiving dinners I've had this week.
To all of the early shoppers, like myself, have a great time tomorrow & stay safe. No fighting.

 

[MA pigletfan]

Happy thanksgiving!!!!

Laura..best wishes with your mom sending good vibes your way...

Today was a "sort of " thanksgiving. I had more or less Easter food at my parents since Greg is working at the firehouse today..so tommorow will be our true thanksgiving at his parents house with my mom and dad and his family...should be fun, and delicious. I wasn't even considering weighing myself this week..with today/tommorow and AF still around..it would not be a good sight!
Hope everyone had a wonderful day!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Hey everyone!
I came to brag a little bit. I got 40 hours in on my Wii Fit today! I now have a gold minute counter! That was another one of my goals by Christmas and I did it!


Plus today was the last day of school until next week.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Poor baby! Pixie dust coming your way!

In other news, I officially rejoined weight watchers last night. I need to accountablility and it was just time to bite the bullet and do it. It is gonna be a LONG week being back on the program for real, but I can do it.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Your daughter looks adorable!

My birthday is in January. Please feel free to send me a cake. That cake is amazing! My kids always get a choice of birthday cake...bundt or 9x13.

Good for you for rejoining WW!

Dance - your daughter is Beautiful, and that cake looks fabulous!

Hope everyone is having a great day

SO glad your neice is doing better. We'll keep up the prayers that things correct themselves !

Our scale has been lying too. It hasn't budged in 2 weeks. I got out the tape measure, and I am getting thinner, so what's the deal with the stinking scale? Oh well, it's just a number, right? Too bad it's not a pretty one!

on the gym. We have some fancy chain gyms around us, but we go to the little gym closest to us. We like their machines, price, and the fact that you can show up grubby and no one cares.

Danielle last night I dreamed about you and Brian. I went on a trip to California and decided to surprise you so I showed up at your house.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

I won't be able to weigh in tomorrow because I'll be up north, so I figured I'd weigh in today instead. Kind of cheating, seeing as how in a few hours I'll be eating everything set down in front of me.

Nevertheless, right now, I am down 2 from last week.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Be good!

NIce numbers!

I am up .7 this week. NOt too bad considering my extreme Thanksgiving Peepacide. I'll take it!

Hope you find out what is going on so that you can get it fixed qickly! It's so scary when are parents are sick.. I think we should all be thankful for our moms!

Let us know how the movie was!

I canpt imagine getting up early for black Friday! EEK I did it a fw times whemy daughters were little and there were toys we absolutely had to get, but no more. I actually finished all the shopping for the girls on Wednesday. That includes my middle daughter's birthday shopping. Her birthday is on December 28th...believe me, there is nothing left in the stores for a teenager the day after Christmas, so I have to do that shopping before CHristmas too! Dh and I are just going to get some little things for one another , but for our actual present we're planning to go away for a weekend early next year.

Happy thanksgiving!!!!

[::Snow_White::]

I missed some posts last time.

Laura-- I hope your mom gets better soon!

DisneyGalUK--Glad your niece is doing better!

Anyways I think MY scale is lying to me in a good way, because supposably I'm -3!! And I'm not sure how in the world I did that. But I'll take it.

Bolt was super cute, and pretty funny. The hamster was adorable.

Good Luck at weigh in today, and have a nice day everyone!

 

[UtahMama]

up 1 !

My list of excuses:

1. Thanksgiving. My plate was done impressively, with salad, a sweet potato, and a nice smallish slab of turkey (no gravy or butter or sugar to be had at all)...but the "tastes" I had in the kitchen while cooking may have added up even though I thought I was careful

2. Lower back was jacked up most of the week so I did zero core exercises

3. NEED to badly!!! Feeling very ( I know, TMI!!!)

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hey all,

Thanks for the continued good thoughts!

I am -1lb - How, I dont know. But I know for sure i'll take it!

Hope everyone is having a great day

 

[LMO429]

OMG I am up another 2 pounds this friday for a grand total of +5 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure at least 2 of those are water weigh from yesterday and the fact that I have been sick for over 3 weeks! but enough excuses it's UNACCEPTABLE!

Here are 5 reasons why eating bad are not worth it by LMO:

1. I did not get up this morning until 10:30 am!!! and I felt like a complete useless miserable slug this morning with bags under my eyes and my fingers were bloated I couldnt even put my wedding band on!

2. I do not feel like doing anything today

3. I feel my butt jingle behind me when I walk

4. I do not feel healthy

5. Non of my cute new clothes are probably going to fit me today

and I can not think of ONE good reason why I should of ate so much so you do the math!

so mad at myself but I know I know how to do the right things just have to ensure I do there...trust me I am determined!

 

[Kathi OD]

up 1 !



3. NEED to badly!!! Feeling very ( I know, TMI!!!)

For sure it is!!!!

Sorry the back is still feeling badly.

FWIW, I managed to go down .5 When I'm the holiday chef, I really don't eat too much. Guess that worked in my favor this week, because I certainly don't exercise.

 

[LittleBoPeep]

Good morning! I am -2 for this week! I was sure I was going to be up, especially since my in-laws were staying with us the past couple of days and they are total snackers and insisted on taking us out to dinner on Wednesday night. I tried soooo hard to be good!!! I was careful with what I ate yesterday, and was also in charge of the kiddos at the kids table, so I was constantly getting up and down trying to get them eating their dinner. So that helped. I hope I can carry this momentum through the holiday parties!

UtahMama - I hope you are feeling better soon!

DineyLaura - I hope you figure out what's wrong with your mom soon. If her regular Doc can't figure it out, make sure you get another Doc's help. I've been in that situation... it took several months and 2 new determined Docs before I found out what I was dealing with... sometimes a new perspective is all it takes!

 

[mommaU4]

OMG I am up another 2 pounds this friday for a grand total of +5 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain and I agree with all your reasons as to why it's not worth it!! I almost skipped weigh in today. Almost. But I have never skipped a weigh in, not even when I gained 9 pounds after Disney. LOL So I grimaced and hopped on the scale.

Last week I was up four pounds from 214 to 218, and this week I am +1.6 at 219.6. UGH!

I had planned to lose the weight from last week and then some, but a visit from my mom and several meals out with her, Thanksgiving and Aunt Flo are all working to make that very difficult.
I am definitely going in the wrong direction but that is going to change starting now!!!
