Desert Mo--Welcome to our neighborhood...maybe someday I can be comfortable spending a holiday alone. I dread Christmas although I am going to a potluck. I guess my Christmas present this year will be peace and quiet. myrt

Myrt I am so sorry this happened to you. My prayers are with you, as women we have to be the strong ones sometimes. Congratulations on your new dog. I would say congrats on the weightloss, but that is not how we want to lose weight. I certainly hope you feel better soon.

Went Christmas Carolling last night, with a food fest after. The food was too yummy to ignore so I over did it. Well it was bound to happen. The good thing is it was only one meal.

DD brought over some veggies yesterday, mostly lowcarb but the carrots. I don't believe a carrot ever hurt anyone anyways.

Christmas is coming close, we are going to our youngest daughter's home on Christmas Eve.

I wish everyone a great week

I'd be happy with a T-bone, haven't had one in ages.
Been eating rib eyes when I have steak.
You know the LCHF stuff.
Haven't had a filet.
Maybe I'll shower and go have one, haha.

Judy---what are fat bombs? I read it somewhere in your journal.

I made it through another day but I'm so tired. Eventually things will get back to normal. I'm already happier but Christmas season stuff us hard. I'm just ignoring it and thinking about the spiritual side of Christmas. myrt

I think I've taken up residence at the malls.
Seem to go everyday.
Today was take back day for all the things I've already discovered will not work.
While doing that found another top that I think will work so much better for DD's wedding.
I went to a hair dresser just down the street last week to see if there was any solution to the disastrous hair cut.
She said it will still grow some by the wedding.
That I should look for a neck scarf that will take attention away from my hair.
This lovely top should take care of that, such beautiful colors.
Enjoyed a cookie from the mall.
I was buying DH 1/2 a dozen and saw the iced cookies.
Resisted first time by, not the second when I was wearing down from all the walking.
It's a huge mall.
Had a salad with chicken.
Had about 5 almonds.
Thinking about a snack.

N2L, when is the wedding?? I didn't read about the disastrous hair cut, that must be maddening. One frosted cookie shouldn't do you in. Nice job for keeping it to one. I hope it didn't set off carb cravings though. The mall walking should have helped too.

Hello my friends,
The wedding is New Year's Day.
It was originally for New Year's Eve and she switched it to the next day since the restaurant she want her reception at would be crowded with celebrators.
Then after changing to the first, found out the restaurant would be closed on the 1st.
There will only be 7 of us, his parents, my granddaughter who at 8 is planning the wedding, and us.
Simple and wants to keep it very simple.
Doesn't want the word wedding to even be used.
She was burned so badly with the first husband she just wants to get married and have life go on like it never happened.
I tried on the wonderful blouse.
I barely squeezed into it.
Looks horrible, it's going back.
It wasn't me, the size had to be way off.
I've things in the closet I can wear if necessary.
Barely worn clothing as they aren't pj's.
N2L

N2L, sorry the blouse didn't work. Do you have someone who can go with you to help you find something? I had a friend go with me when I was looking for my second wedding dress. It helped.

I think I remember you telling us about the date now. If the place is closed on New Years day, where will the "wedding" take place?

The wedding is at a church in downtown Charleston, SC.
We were to have walked to a famous steak place near the church and that is what is closed.
Going to a brand new place now, don't know what type of food they have, but since we will order off the menu it will be fun to try out starting the New Year eating right.
Took back the latest top.
Got a really good deal on a top at Belk's.
I really like it and it fits.
Naturally, it is black.
haha.
So all is well with the outfit
Bacon, eggs, tonight around 7 p.m.
That was the first and only meal.
Had a rough day health wise.

N2L, basic black is great. Think of how you can dress it up with accessories

Down a few ounces today. So close to onederland. Hanging in there on plan so far with the exception of the darned chocolate covered cherries that DH has around.

Judy---what are fat bombs? I must know...

I got down to 143.2 and my goal on the home scales is 140. This is a heck of a way to lose it (husband left me) and hope I can keep it off. It's been so hard but it would be for anybody. I just don't have any appetite. I just make sure I get protein and a little carbs each day. I need to eat more veggies besides greens in a salad. love you, myrt

Just jumping in here with the recipe I'd saved from a long time ago.
I thought I'd post this until Judy has time to give an answer.
Gypsybird had posted this for Newbies at one point.
I've never eaten them and don't know how they taste.
Know some don't think we should be eating them.
Others think they are what gets them through the day.
I've seen some add lemon, or other flavors to them to make them more enjoyable.
Hope this helps until Judy can get back with her recipe.
N2L

8T butter
6T Coconut Oil
4T HWC
3T unsweetened chocolate powder
1/8t vanilla (optional)
Sea salt, some in and some on top
Sweetener to taste (10 drops liquid Splenda, 22 drops liquid Sugar Twin)

Mix together. Spoon into mini muffin wrappers. Freeze. Enjoy!
