TKers: Six threads under and still killin' time....

[whgrn]

Okay... I really need to get off my butt and start excercising.

Good gravy... between that Free Dining stuff and Christmas I have gained 5lb in the last few weeks

WHERE did you find that smilie picture of me???? If I've only gained 5 pounds I will be very happy--I suspect it's alot closer to 15 this fall. Gotta get it in gear and start exercising and eating right. Hard to exercise with my knee though, and I have to get cleared by the PT first. And it's too bloody cold to ride my new bike.

Maybe we need to have a TK Biggest Loser challenge or something, to motivate those of us who need to get in shape! I'd like to be able to fit back into my capris and shorts and stuff by the time we go on our cruise in March!

Hello everyone! Don't have much time but wanted to pop in and say hello. I hope all are staying warm, we are having something close to a blizzard out there tonight. Yuck. I hate winter. It is days like this when I remind Dh how I asked him to move to Florida years back before we had any real "responsibilities" here and he said No I like the seasons. butthead.



Also Walter wanted me to come on and say Thank you Thank you Thank you Auntie Bobbie for the beautiful new Christmas wardrobe. DH, Walter and Mommy are so greatful for the gift, and the friendship.

Remember that's 5lb in about 3 weeks.

I'm in if we each set a goal and work toward it w/ support. Although, Whgrn you are the queen of goal reachers so please share your wisdom.


Here's some more of the smilies.

Yeah! I'm glad Baby Walter got his gifts. I'm sorry they're so big, but you hae to remember that I'm not too familiar with baby sizing. The next size down looked too too small (at least in my head it did) and I figured you probably got some clothes for Christmas, and these should take you through the end of winter. If they don't fit, please don't worry about giving them to someone who will use them.

I always need to lose weight, and definitely the cold weather makes it harder for me to be motivated.

Yup, this would be me...

I know I'm good at reaching goals when I really set my mind to them. I just have to DO that. Giving up dairy, wheat, and eggs means giving up just about EVERYTHING I really love! But I know I really need to do this. I was looking through my food logs on SparkPeople from 2 years ago when I was eating that way, and boy was it boring! I had about 3 choices each for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and just rotated through them day after day after day. Plus I ate the same snacks every day--the only thing that changed was my choice of fruit! It's gonna be a really boring month until I can start to have at least a little dairy (yogurt or cheddar cheese) a few times a week. *sigh*

 

[D&DDisney]

I've found that with the cold weather, I'm just cooking more. Plus, no matter what, I just eat more in the winter.

So true. Just reminds me of the Bob Rivers song...

It’s too cold to go jogging
To brisk for tobogganing
So pass me a hot buttered roll.

 

[SCHBR'smom]

OK, I was going to try to keep up better this time, but I've missed 12 pages. All the family in town and I got behind.

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve!

I'm trying to get the house back in order after all the family was here, just to have it destroyed again next Saturday when even more family comes to our house. Hopefully after that, things will settle down.

Now, let me go see if I can catch up.

 

[MagiKitty]

Hi Kerrie! With having so many little ones, I'm amazed you're even awake at this hour! You're amazing!

JOCA, just blame it on anthropology. Our ancestors needed to bulk up to survive the winter. And while I'm not living in a cave or hunting with a spear, my belly just likes to honor the ancestors and pudge up.

 

[JOCAmom]

MK, that reason works for me. It's not my fault, really, it's my ancestors.

Kerrie, I hear about the mess from guests. We only had 5 here on Christmas and by the time they left, it looked like a tornado had gone through. And 4 of them were adults.

I like your thinking!

I actually have a break this week, only the 1 and 2 year olds are here. The oldest 3 went home with Nanny and Pa for the week. That should make it easier to get the house back together. Except, of course, my baby caught a virus from my baby nephew. Poor thing is miserable.

 

[MagiKitty]

Oh no! Poor little baby....hope you feel better! And enjoy just having the little ones around...

 

[SCHBR'smom]

Oh, yes. It's so nice to see them interact and play together without the older ones coming and taking over. It's so sweet!

I've found that with the cold weather, I'm just cooking more. Plus, no matter what, I just eat more in the winter. Summertime, there is just too much going on to have big meals. Make some pasta salad and throw some hot dogs on the grill and we are good to go.

I was going to say the very same thing! This is why I laugh when everyone makes a NY resolution to lose weight. At the worst possible time of year! We'd all be much better off if we decided to lose weight in the Spring, when our bodies naturally want to shed a few pounds!

So true. Just reminds me of the Bob Rivers song...

Ooooh, I like it. Sounds yummy! Dang, now I need to stop at Panera Bread...


LITC, how is it that that boy gets cuter with every picture?????

Well, it's 19 here this morning. it was SO hard to get up at 7:30--in fact, I actually got up at 7:40! I would love to go back to bed for an hour or 3, but I have things to do and places to go. (PT, grocery shopping, pharmacy) But at least I can stay home tonite when it really gets cold!

 

[JOCAmom]

Morning!!! The kids are back in school!!! DH is back to work!!! And I've decided that my coffee tastes so much better in the peace and quiet.

Kerrie, I hope the baby feels better soon. And enjoy the time with just the both of them. I know how wonderful that can be.

whgrn, I won't be going out tonight either. I had to run out somewhere last night and just about froze my butt off. All I can say is thank goodness for heated car seats.

I like the way you think Kitty!!! I have also said that we should go back to hibernating.

Just wake me in spring when its time to diet.

Except, of course, my baby caught a virus from my baby nephew. Poor thing is miserable.

Hope she feels better soon.

That sounds like a great excuse to keep eating. I'll stop around March and then lose weight.

7:30 is sleeping in at my house. I'm up at 5:30 every week day.

Too much stuff to get done before kids get up at 6:30

Poor little baby.

D&DDisney Love your smilies..I thought you were spying on me.

You know being cold you use more calories to keep warm. I have a goal to lose 20 lbs by my cruise in April. Then I remembered the wedding in Feb. <sigh> I don't really think I'll be able to lose enough.

Today is DH's first official day of retirement...he's playing golf.
The cat is being a pest now that "his" tree is gone. Another nice day here should be in the 50s again.

 

[D&DDisney]

Happy 1st Official Day of Retirement!!!!

Now you need to get out there w/ him DL55!!

I'm glad you like the camping smilies! It'll help us get through this long winter.

 

[DL55]

D&DDisney I sit around the campfire like that even in summer. As for golf I don't need the shield my eyes to follow the ball, I just have to look down.
I've been reading that silly thread started on NYE. At the rate I'm reading (20 pages) I might get caught up by next Dec.

 

[M&N]

Page 16 already! It'll take me all afternoon to catch up! I hope D&D didn't post too much...need to see her count!

Just trying to keep warm here. They called for flurries all weekend but none here...NOT complaining...the cold is bad enough.

I'll be back when I read through....

 

[whgrn]

Well, let's hear it for:

Kids going back to school!

Hibernating until Spring!

Heated car seats!

M&N's back!
