TGIF Roll Call 12/14

[ShiningStarr]

Well Good Friday Morning to All,

It is another snowy morning here in Maine! It is beautiful! I don't have any major plans for the day. Just wrapping up presents...and drinking water! Yesterday was a good day and today will be the same. I have to plan to go grocery store tomorrow....which will not be fun. We are expecting a "Nor'eastah" (A BIG snow storm coming from the northeast) on Sunday. (My usual shopping day). I think I am going to look for some new recipes. Any suggestions??

Good morning Star! I see we have the same motto " nothing tasts as good as thin feels" lol I never noticed until today!!!! Well I start taking my lovely new synthroid today. Am I excited? umm......... no. I just keep trying to think about the fact that maybe I will lose some of this weight...that would be the greatest blessing, well, that and feeling healthy again, lol. so wish me luck and I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL day!!!!!!!

Good morning!!

Vamps, I hope you get to feeling better. Starr, I am sooo jealous. I have always wanted to visit Maine. We plan to this summer, but that seems like forever. I don't look for us to get much snow. If we are lucky we get one or two days of flurries a year. I hate the weather here. Anyway, having Christmas dinner with hubby's family. Not sure what to take. Ideas anyone?? Have a great day!!

Re: TGIF Roll Call 12/14

I'm horrible about giving ideas for stuff to eat 'cause I eat the same thing everyday. I'm guess I should feel lucky I don't get bored.

Had a great night last night, went and saw I Am Legend at midnight.

I'm thinking about changing my workout again. Jog two days and lift? As it is I job, lift, job, lift day off. I love to be on the treadmill, but I know how important strength training is. I'll think about it.

Happy Friday everyone.

Morning everyone. It's unusual weather we are having here in North Carolina. It was 80 yesterday. I've never been in a place where it actually hit 80 degrees in December. I'm originally from New York so the weather gets gray and wintery in mid October. When we moved down here the winters were milder turning wintery in mid November. This winter though is hands down bizzare. I'm loving every minute of it though because I know it's not going to last.

Re: TGIF Roll Call 12/14

Man, it is GOOD to see that Meena posted this morning! Whoo hoo!

Ok, so yesterday's day from **** turned out to be a lamb of a day. Half of the late-day stuff was cancelled, so after a meeting at the University right after school, I got to go home! It was wonderful. SUUUUUCH a release from the stress!

Anyway, today is Friday, the weekend starts in about 8 hours, and I have nothing planned. I have to do some Xmas shopping for my non-Jewish and Muslim friends, and other than that, zippo. I may head to the gym to try to work out the upper body without hurting the hip. Sit in the jacuzzi,etc. Get my nails done. Read a new book.

I feel like a new woman already. And then, just one more week and I'll be off for an entire month. I can hardly wait!

Lunches are packed - mine is delish, as usual. Just gotta finish my coffee and get dressed, and I'm outta here.

Have a wonderful day, all.

Good morning, got my car packed up with guitars and sound equipment as I am performing at a local MOPS meeting this morning, Jiggle-carols followed by a huge bike ride, so the bike is crammed in too....going 20miles with a good friend....blowing off more emotion.
Ya'll sound great today! Cold weather finally creeping back into the Atlanta area, it'll be there shortly Menna, no more 80's, which are not the norm down here...warmer than cold yes, but only in Florida should you be able to wear shorts! SOUTH FLORIDA!

Re: TGIF Roll Call 12/14

Morning all!

Weighed in at 116 (again) today. Feel pretty good though - I'm heading to the gym after I drop 2 of the 3 urchins off at school. I'm taking a BOSU conditioning class today - should be fun!
I have a "Mom's Night Out" tonight with my girlfriends and we're doing a holiday gift exchange - yippee - looking forward to laughing a bunch!

Have a glorious day!!!

Re: TGIF Roll Call 12/14

Hi everyone!

Well this weekend I am heading out to a cookie exchange. 6 dozen cookies I need to bake which isn't a big deal. My husband convinced me to go because we need some holiday cookies at the house and I'm not going to have time to bake all the different types

Scale is about the same - and I think it's because of my TOM coming in soon - which is probably the reason I am hungry all the time!

So I'm making 1/2 the cookies today and probably 1/2 tomorrow after I do the farmer's market. I made the eggnog from a low carb recipe - not bad and it should be good enough and rich enough for the recipe I altered.

So another pair of jeans keep falling down!! WOO HOO - I need to buy a belt which is cheaper than new jeans right now. My husband was laughing at me about needing a belt - swore I stretched the jeans - but then he saw me pull them off the hanger so he knew I hadn't worn them already this week He just loves messing with me and as long as I bring home cookies Sunday night I think he'll be ok

Re: TGIF Roll Call 12/14

TGIF!

I am heading into day three this morning and am already a pound down. WooHoo. It makes for a nice start to the day.

Not too much planned. School of course, some laundry, shopping and then relaxing tonight. This weekend we have a couple parties to go to. I guess it will be my first big test being back on this diet.

Vamps
Glad the doc found out what the problem was for you and you are now getting the treatment you need. Nothing worse than feeling crummy.

Meena
I remember you. Have you been gone like me too?

Have a great day everyone. I will check back later to catch up on everyone else's news.

Re: TGIF Roll Call 12/14

Good Morning everyone!

Last night was a huge test for me - I made 5 batches of sugar cookies and didn't have one nibble, one lick, NOTHING! I had my son test each batch to make sure they tasted good....hehehe...he loved that part! I have three parties to attend this weekend one being a cookie exchange party so it will be definately a battle to make it through for this recovering sugar addict.... Just so you all know how bad I was, my brother in laws sweet nickname for me is the COOKIE MONSTER!! Hopefully soon he'll call me the sugarfree monster...lol!
Its wet and cold here in the Pacific Northwest.

Hope everyone has a fantastic FRIDAY!!!

Re: TGIF Roll Call 12/14

Good Morning everyone! Sorry for the late check in but Life has got ahold of me and Won't let go!!!!!!!! LOL the holiday crazies have set in for sure! Atkins wise Life is good ...........

Storms coming over the weekend (same one as Starr is expecting!) So I did my shopping and "got ready" you would think that after 28 years of living in Vermont I wouldn't have to "get ready" for these anymore ......... ready should just be a way of life.

Have a fabulous day!!!!!!

Re: TGIF Roll Call 12/14
