Re: So many new Faces Already!

Hi guys,
Well, we already have so many new people to get to know &amp; become buddies with. Since we all love Christmas, why don't we start to get to know eachother by sharing a Christmas idea, tradition, craft, story, recipie...
I will start w/ a little one.
Induction Friendly Popcorn Balls
Get a package of Clear glass balls
Pull the metal top off gently
Pour in just a bit of veg. oil
pour in enough popcorn that it stays covered by the oil. (not much) 20 kernals or so.
Place in microwave and nuke it for 3-4 minutes.. watch it, if it is popped, time to stop!
Replace the metal piece on top and hang it on your tree!
(No... you cant eat it!)
Wallah! Pretty little popcorn balls.

up to the last minute i thought i was gonna be able to eat this...lol...i guess this says something bout me...

Weigh In

I actually don't own a scale. I threw it away because I used to get on the thing like 3 times a day. So now I just weigh myself 1x a week when I go to the chiropractor. I go Mon, Wed, and Friday-so any of those days are fine for me. How about Fridays? I'm not going to weight until next Friday though since I just weighed myself on Monday. I love the idea of sharing Christmas ideas! So I'll send one right now. I'm one of those people who don't throw away cards from years past. So what I've done is I purchase a huge frame and make a collage using all the cards. (A huge frame that a wall print used to go in). Then I glue the cards in it. At christmas I take down all my regular wall hangings and replace it with the frames of this. My house explodes with christmas-every single room. By the way, Mystique I LOVE your weight loss counter with the changing fairy picture. Today I'm on day 9 on the induction so I may be in a different place than some of you. Last Monday when I weighed I'd lost 12 pounds already though! So I'm probably going to hit a plateau for a couple weeks after ending induction right? But with you guys I know I can get through it! I look forward to getting to know all of you and more about you!

Welcome to the challenge....you can weigh in day you like....just let mystique know, so that she knows when to update....
You may or may not hit a plateau....I didn't....well....only if you count 4 days as a plateau...LOL....But you will be ahead in the challenge, since you loose more on induction, so if a plateau hits you, you are already ahead.....

Great Christmas idea....I love to have my place explode with christmas....I think I will have to try the picture idea....I think I saved most of the christmas cards from last year.....
