Friday Roll-call

[Evermind]

What? Nobody else is up and posting? Yikes!

We had a lovely, relaxed day yesterday. I started cooking around noon, and just set out a buffet and everyone sort of ate as they felt the urge. Grazing is so much better than stuffing onesself. I had a bunch of food choices for myself, as well as plenty for everyone else. I didn't feel like I was missing out on a thing. I didn't eat a lot, but enough to satisfy me.

Today is a busy day. I am avoiding the malls like the plague, but I am meeting a colleague for coffee, and have to take ds to the Sprint Store to get a new phone, and then a few errands before starting to transport people to the airport.

I'm proud that I made it through a major feasting holiday without coming close to a cheat, though I have to admit, those chips with onion dip were tempting -so I just ate a spoonful of the dip,lol.

Good Morning Stacers!

Successful day yesterday. The challenge will be on Sunday when at my in-laws. Planning on bringing my own dishes.

Chores around the house waiting on me patiently. It's a beautiful day & all is well here! DH went to work today & is dealing with the insurance company. He gets a rental car tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone!

Re: Friday Roll-call

morning all!!! i supplemented my chicken broth with some tomato soup yesterday, aAAAAH!!!!! i figured with the 7+ pounds i have lost so far with the mono a little carb soup wouldn't hurt....of course i said this only as a way to justify the toast.

soooo, i did not have a successful thanksgiving, despite the fact that i didn't even have to deal with starches and sweets!!! just a yukky throat!

so back to chicken broth, in which i will add some veggies and chicken meat today as throat getting better. so disappointed about the tomato soup, especially when you all resisted the temptations at your turkey day feasts!!!

ah well, we just move on.

Good Morning, I'm off to water aerobics this am... dh decided to join me, the sweety that he is.... He hurt his toe and hasn't been able to walk with me...
Anyhow, I did my before/after pics for the muffin butt challenge yesterday... wore my muffin butt pants all day to remind me to stay strong. Mildly tempted, but didn't cave until we went out to the movies and they gave us a free popcorn... then I lost it and ate half the bag. What an idiot I am! But, my swimsuit feels comfie/loose and fits better than ever... so today is a new day. Yum with the low carb pumpkin bread.
have a good day! I hate the mall too. bah humbug!

Happy Black Friday.

I did pretty good yesterday- I ate tons of vegi dishes. I did have a few drinks that were made with diet rite soda and vodka. I slept in until 9 (wow).

I may do a little shopping later but I really hate the crowds.

I will be working out a little later. Lite cardio and upper body.

Have a great day STAC'ers.

Happy Friday Everyone!

I did ok yesterday I ate well .. and was fine until dessert.. well one small slice of pumpkin pie ( without the crust) and a ton of whipped cream later ....

Not worried about it though, I am back on track and trying to get xtra water down.

I didnt do much shopping .. we went to the local mall early this morning and window shopped really... My boys are out of the toy phase now so it's not as easy .. or cheap to shop for them anymore!!

Have a wonderful afternoon!

Re: Friday Roll-call

Good Evening Everyone!!!

Well I totally made it through Thanksgiving basically Cheat free!!! There was one time that I gave into an urge but I am not considering it a cheat. There was some homemade fudge that just smelt so good I just had to taste it. So I took the smallest morsel and put it in my mouth to get the flavor of it. Then I spat it out!! I didn't swollow any of it. I am so pretty proud of myself!! A grazed on veggies and ranch dip before the meal and then had only turkey for lunch. (there were no other options but I didn't feel deprived at all!)

Today I braved the stores with my 18 month old daughter and we did pretty good! She was a trooper and it was nice to just go and shop. Of course you have to have the right mind set to go on black friday, but we were not on a schedule so we took our time and just had fun! She even napped in her stroller while I was trying on clothes! People were everywhere and lines were long. Here in Maine we have a lot of Canadians come down and take advantage of the sales and the weak dollar so you see a lot of tour buses. and Cars from New Brunswick but hey I would be doing the same thing plus they are helping our economy so I say Welcome!!!

So after a crazy two days I am proud to say I am still on track!! Yeah me!!!!

Hey everyone!

Made it through T-giving. I'm actually really worried about my brother because of his weight. I'm probably going to get him the book, and then he'll have to make his own decision. He was SOOOOO skinny growing up - and now he's blown up and I'm afraid no matter what he says the Dr's say, he's not healthy. He helped my mom's husband bring up the x-mas tree and he got so pale and sweaty (it wasn't a huge job) and even had to leave because of it.

Did a few chores today and then finished a couple of my knitting projects and will start more soon.

I am expecting a mini woosh in the morning. I usually weigh myself in the morning but stepped on the scale tonight and I was still at my low weight - even with everything I ate. SO maybe my TOM bloat decided to leave me today

I did some shopping on-line today, I am so against shopping on this day - however if I can get the deal without getting out of my PJ's - I'm all for it So I got some of the shopping done

Have a great weekend! I'm off to sleep so I can get up and do the farmer's market in the morning
