WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 15

[HollyTyler]

Holly... beautiful picture... but isn't an iron T-shirt cheaper?

Yup, but once you've been bitten by the tattoo bug, it's addicting!

Hi Shell....how are you feeling today? Any pains?

 

[nskjerven]

I have made a crucial decision in life....when I hit 110 pounds I'm buying a slightly used Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. It's a two seater and I'm getting manual transmission and a convertible. GO SPEED RACER! ha.

That's what I want.

Love it Deb.

Sadly, we are putting our little red car on the auction table later this week. Oh well, it's only a car and only money, I'm glad we can say we are all healthy...this comes of course after our latest piece of wonderful news. The bathroom floor in our rental is soaking wet. Looks like a pipe burst (or leaked) we are looking at a new bathroom, perhaps with some insurance coverage perhaps not, depends on if it was sudden or gradual. I of course believe it was sudden...wish us luck in our latest adventure in life

Ok so far Deb... the change in weather is getting me though... from the 60's last week to the 20's tonight...

Love it Deb.

Nan... take her out for a spin and then send her out into the world with lots of love and good memories...

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the bathroom/pipe problem. What a financial burden to deal with. Yuck.

Deb - love the pixs! And the car!

Holly - the pix of Tyler is precious!

You two reminded me of what I did wrong on my "change of eating"(not a diet) way of life - I forgot to set a reward for myself!!!

We had dinner with Connie and Chuck tonight and had a great time. They're on their way home from seeing Mike. They said that Patrick is tired of camp and wants to go home!

Well you need a major reward for all you've lost! Think of something and go for it!

How fun that you got to visit with Connie & Chuck!

I'm coming up on my first WW holidays. I have special meals planned and food and drink outside of the norm coming up.

I did good on the cruise because I had a lot of activity. I didn't do as well in the suite after the cruise. I gained 3 pounds.

Now I'm not active at all and I'll be tempted by good food and drinks again. I know that I'm not going to say no. I can eat half and stop, but what about having chocolates and egg nog in the house and all the special holiday treats....birthday cake, pumpkin pie and coconut custard. HELP!

I'm losing at a weird rate right now too. Since I've been back from vacation....I had gained 3 then I lost 5 then gained 2 then lost 4. How bizarre. I had been losing 2-3 every week before vacation. Overall the numbers are still going down, but how strange.

I've been having a rough time, too! I did SO well the first half of the year.. Lost 30 pounds between January and June, starting at about 2 pounds per week, then slowing down to less than a pound a week, but fairly steady.

Then summer hit and with our crazy schedule I just couldn't make it to meetings. Then I stopped tracking, but was still being "good." Then I stopped thinking about what I was eating. Next thing I knew I was craving fats and sugar again. Sigh... Finally had the guts to step on the scale yesterday. Up 3.5 pounds. Not TOO bad, considering, but certainly not good. Now we're leaving for Europe on Saturday and I know I'm not going to want to "deprive" myself while we're gone so I'm anticipating more weight gain when we get back. The only thing I figure will save me is that we will be walking everywhere!

So when I get back, will someone PLEASE hold me accountable to get back to meetings?? I know I just will not be successful unless I go to meetings. That's just the way I roll. 20 pounds to go and I'll be about at goal. And I do NOT want to quit now!

How about Enlish?

No, Great Britain is metric. Young people, like Sukie's daughter understand Celsius rather than Fahrenheit.

The following are the countries that still use Fahrenheit: United States, Belize, and Jamaica.

The United States can't even get itself onto the metric system. We're having trouble moving on to a system developed in 1791.

The only countries in the world that are not on the metric system: United States, Burma and Liberia.

We attempted to go on the metric system back in the early 1970's but congress freaked out. The ONLY industry that converted was the beverage industry.

Some people in my age group may remember when quart soda bottles disappeared and was replaced by liter and 2-liter bottles, and alcohol became 750ml. How odd! We talk about about buying soda and such in metric measurements and the country didn't blow apart.

We are basically metric now. John does say that buying wood is a mixture. You buy some board 8ft by 4ft, but 25mm thick!!! As you said, we are celsius in temperature, but when we get hot weather we suddenly become farenheit again as it feels much hotter!!! We start talking about being in the 80's or even 90's.

I can't ever remember the normal celsius body temperature reading though. 98.4 deg F will always be my normal temperature.

IT'S OFFICIAL....it's October 15th at 10:00 am and it's SNOWING! Not just flurries either. It's coming down pretty good, but it's heavy and wet so there's no accumulation yet.

It's usually just flurries for the first time and that's after Thanksgiving. It is early this year. It has been a wet spring and summer....why not fall and winter too.

Good luck driving to Jersey tomorrow Michelle.

Good luck driving home tonight sweetie.

Tracy, you're in the right place for this, lots of us here are doing WW and many of us struggle. Ian is a huge motivator and always has wonderful advice and strategies for us. We're all here for you.

WOW!!! Sounds like we usually get snow before you because it starts the beginning of November around here. I often can't go out of town to Thankgsiving with family because of the weather. It sure hit you early this year!

Sorry, but..... I'M READY! I want to go sledding and skiing and throw snowballs at Tyler!

 

[HollyTyler]

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!!!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Ok so far Deb... the change in weather is getting me though... from the 60's last week to the 20's tonight...

At least you're feeling well enough to be off pain killers. That's a step up for you! Every season this year has had strange and unusual weather. This is just another one.

Hope you feel better in NJ. What part do you go to? John is in Newark.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb - love the pixs! And the car!

Hi Gydell....thanks!

You two reminded me of what I did wrong on my "change of eating"(not a diet) way of life - I forgot to set a reward for myself!!!

OMG....you MUST reward yourself. Think of something that you really want. I didn't reward myself for not smoking yet, just in case I ever went back. I think it's safe to say that's not going to happen. I'll celebrate with the car for both.

We had dinner with Connie and Chuck tonight and had a great time. They're on their way home from seeing Mike. They said that Patrick is tired of camp and wants to go home!

So glad you got to enjoy a meal and chat together again. I'm sure they had a good time with Mike and Patrick is just funny. Naturally, he wants to be home.

 

[LuvBaloo]

Good morning everybody!
I didn't make it onto here last night, and I see you I missed lots. Deb wants a Spyder, Holly wants a tattoo, and Nan's floor is wet!

It snowed yesterday and now its going to warm up for a couple days (supposed to be 17C tomorrow )

We're all here for you because we're all doing it too. Just be sensible and active on vacation. Start tracking and going to meetings when you get back. Put it into your head now, then stick to it.

I find WW works by planning ahead. Don't do anything spontaneous. Like Ian said, for the holidays pick priorities in advance and plan what you'll "cheat" with. If you keep it within weekly points and add activities, it's manageable.

Just ask and we will help in any way...especially our Leader and Guru, Ian. He's the best! He helps us the most!!!

YEA, what she said.

Oh you definitely get way more than us. I love when it snows too, as long as I don't have to go out in it....and back up my driveway....especially if it's not plowed. Then I have to park at the bottom and walk up.
