Step'en Out

new signature

Oh my goodness....everything I typed got deleted!!!!! I was pretty witty too! Here is the short version....

date with husband....long island iced tea

thanksgiving dinner....not too bad but loved those mashed potatoes and coffee drinks!

love and luck to everyone this week! I don't expect to see a loss tomorrow when I weigh in but I hope I don't see a gain either.

Abundantly grateful for time with family this week.
 
Mmm long island ice tea... I haven't had one of those in forever. I'm sure you're doing fine for your weigh in, but we'll forgive you if you're not if you forgive yourself :)
 
No big loss

Yes, those long island ice teas are yummy indeed. I suppose the drink, along with the other temptations, last week are responsible for my wimpy loss of half a pound. I was surprised to have even lost that much though because I was not following the program well at all. It is not a big loss time wise as long as I get right back on track. This week my challenge is an over night xmas party in San Francisco. I will be motivated though because everyone else going is stunningly beautiful and they will be wearing dresses that compliment their perfect figure. I'll keep my eye on the prize, have fun with my friends, and avoid those tempting calories! I'm sure their praise for my efforts will be helpful too. I am blessed to have friends that are so supportive.
 
Clean Your Plate

Well, tonight gave a whole new spin to cleaning the plates after dinner. I did fine eating my little JC dinner, not giving in to the temptation to have KFC with the rest of the family (why they were having KFC is a whole other story). It was the cleaning up that got to me. I scraped all of the plates, rinsed them off, put them in the dishwasher, started the dishwasher and then...here is the killer...packed up the left overs! You guessed it....while packing the left overs, I discovered the true meaning of "finger lick'en good" and I caved in. I ate a chicken thigh, minus the skin mind you, but definitely not on the program!

So you might be wondering why in the world would a person on JC allow fast food to be in the house!?!? Me too! My dad is visiting and he thought it would be really thoughtful to bring dinner home after a day out and about. He was right...it was really nice. No more fast food though and I will be stronger at expressing this next time. Now I can't get the craving for more out of my system. I hope that a good night sleep will cure me. Heck, I just hope for a good night sleep! Kennedi is teething and she has been up several times a night lately. Wish me sweet dreams and a better tomorrow....

Thank you Beagle for the info on the signature!
 
Kit, Tomorrow is a new day and you can put the KFC behind you... I can understand about the KFC though because I love chicken.. I have been tempted several times to go there but I haven't yet. I will make it a point to go when I reach my first goal.. And that is probley gonna be a while since I've only lost 1 lb. in 3 weeks... When is your next weigh in?

Tricky Ticker

Hey there Christina and Beagle,
Thank you for helping me with the ticker thing. It is pretty tricky and I can't spend time on it right now. I feel lucky to have time simply to read and reply...learning a new thing is beyond hope for me right now. Kennedi seems to wake up every 15 min. crying....she is trying to learn how to crawl and she is cutting teeth. I think learning something new, like crawling...or in my case....adding a tricky ticker, is enough to disturb a girls sleep! Thank you for looking over me and one day I will have a cool ticker like you do. I also want to post my photo but the darn thing says my file is too big. I don't know how to make it smaller! Seems to be a theme in my life....my hips, my butt, my arms, my tummy....all too big and difficult to make smaller! Glad I have new friends like you to encourage me!

Love to you both!
 
No worries on the ticker, we'll get it eventually. From what I can see it should be showing right... I wonder why its not? Maybe one of the mods can help you with it later.

I hope Kennedi finishes her teething soon, or that it at least becomes less painful for her so that you can both get a good nights rest!
 
Time!

Where does all of the time go? I celebrated way too much this week...two birthday's and a holiday dinner with girlfriends at my house. What fun! I hope I always remember the dinner with friends...everything was perfect. I was really proud of myself for making everything so beautiful, delicious, and special. Last year, because of the car accident and pregnancy, I was unable to host a party at my house. This year, I totally relished the ability to pull it off. It may be at the expense of not getting any weight off though. I did partake in several meals that are not diet like at all. I was watchful of what I ate when I was not at a party. I'll weigh in on Tuesday and see how it went. By the way, last Tuesday (I can't believe I have not posted in so long) was a 1.5 loss.

Hope everyone is doing well and loving the spirit in the air. Blessings!
 
Lucky Me

I am so lucky to have lost a half of a pound! I honestly don't understand how it is possible...I was not following the JC program well at all! Lucky me, but now I feel like I can't make poor choices this week because last week is still right behind me...I know it will catch up if I don't get back on track fast. Tomorrow I will go to the market and stock up on really fresh veggies, nonfat milk, and some delicious apples too. I have gotten away from eating veggies and apples when I am hungry. My favorite thing to snack on these days has been microwave popcorn. This week-end will be challenging because I have three holiday parties. My plan is to eat before I go, stick to my plan, and make healthy choices when I am there.

Good luck to all of us this week!

Broken Down

Hey there! Hope everyone is feeling the love in the air...all of the holiday celebrations are so fun and feeling the love from all of my friends and family is terrific. I really enjoy seeing how everyone lights up when they see Kennedi. She is such a doll. The flip side of that same coin is the difficulty of getting everything done, being to every party fully dressed up with hostess gift, wine, and appetizer in hand, Kennedi looking darling in her dressy dress, and pretending to be fully awake as well. Sleep at my house is still impossible. I'm starting to grind my teeth again and I can't begin to explain how much pain I am in...the Chiropractor is taking x-rays on Monday, we think I have a disk problem in my lower back. This is from the car accident but holding Kennedi all day and sleeping in odd positions to accommodate her is making it really bad.
My food part of the program is going ok...I don't eat the JC food every meal because of so many parties and get together for coffee or lunch. I do try to make good choices, drink a lot of water, and walk as much as I can. After Christmas I will start the treadmill commitment again. Right now I just simply don't have the time. I'm looking so forward to the Christmas concert at church today....My friend Lisa Leuschner is singing and that is always a treat! I feel blessed to have so many great things to look forward to, it makes me feel bad when I complain about the difficult things. Truth be told, my body is broken, I'm in pain all of the time right now, and I just feel broken down. My spirit is high though and I love this time of year! The music, the cheer, the celebrating, the birth of Christ remembered! Merry Christmas!
 
where have you been? hope your doing well and check in soon! :D
 
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Thank you for checking in with me. The day after Christmas we headed to Carmel for some good 'old R and R. The weather was bad but we did get a few hours each day of clear sky. We enjoyed the Monterey Bay Aquarium one of the days and we did tons of walking. I worked hard to drink all of my water and chose food options wisely. Eating out every meal for 6 days, right on the heals of Christmas week, is going to set me back a few pounds I am sure. I will be weighing in tomorrow while holding my breath and squeezing my eyes shut! The past few weeks have been eventful to say the least. John (my husband) was in a horrible car accident but we are so blessed that he did not get hurt! My brother in-law, niece, and cousin were all in separate car accidents too....each one bad enough to total their cars! Imagine our feeling of gratitude when we were all together for a family Christmas...well enough to talk about it. We have an abundance to be grateful for!!! This is indeed a Happy New Year!
