-0.2......better than nothing!

play was good! we had a really great time in NYC yesterday

, despite the massive crowds of very rude people

i was born & raised in a city (elizabeth), but living up here in the mountains these past 15+ years, i am no longer used to all that traffic and crowding

CRICKET......although you gained a blip, your loss is FANTASTIC so far this week

i'm so glad to hear carl is not drinking (and not missing it either)

and hallelujah that he is not chewing tobacco!!!

we have raccoons that knock on our back door & beg once all the outside cats' food is eaten up!

zac & i LOVE cartoons

i'm so glad to hear shadow is doing better

KATHY......have an awesome time at bingo, dinner, and with your parents.
a fancy dinner at the tram near the base of the sandia mts sounds like something scott and i would LOVE to do!

have fun!!!!!!!

HIMI.......enjoy the ride in mabel!

PAULETTE......glad all of ed's testing went well; now we wait to see what they say.........
congrats on another great loss!!!!

BARB.........my son and i are of the cartoon lovers' persuasion also!

sorry for your tiny gain......tomorrow we get "dead-on-balls-accurate" serious!!!

good luck to your son!!!!

......sorry i mixed you & himi up

HI CHRISSIE~~~ happy clapping for the loss!!! Carl went to NYC for the first time after we married and he adored it..He took on the subway system like a MARINE IN ACTION! HE had a ball. I worked there so not thrilled buy had a great time seeing it through HIS eyes! Happy the play was great!
I TOTALLY DISLIKE the avenger hero cartoons etc. I loved FROZEN and all Dysney.. they are not the same category at all.. Carl loves the 3 Stooges but that goes along with most men from what I can figure out. He has zero filter with 'toons and LOONEY TOONES collections are right here! UGH.
I like fantasty ones only.

Heading to sleep and hope i get some in. It got suddenly colder and the wind was picking up so i schlepped Cookie's heavy winter blanket out and had to drive the golf cart to of course the farthest place in the pasture.Was thrilled when Cookie willingly came to where I had to stop.. a total lake there.. good girl got a handful of horse treats.She stands so still and pateintly while I fumble with the heavy huge blanket. The others will have to wait for Jodi to cover them.. it began raining pretty hard just as I buckled up the last strap!
My soggy smelly once clean this morning and my change of clothes after feeding is now in the wash. That is 3 changes for me this morning! I am sitting here in the all together waiting for the laundry to get done so i put it in the dyer to wear again. Not a very pretty picture LOL!

We had huge coons in Kerhonkson and they were everywhere and a major pest with the horse feed. We had one adorable baby possum..I found it eating out of the cat bowl on the back step landing with the cats. The cats figured it was just another one that was UGLY! It got so, that when I BLURPED and called to the cats to come for dinner, this little guy was coming as well. DID so until he was all grown up.Guess mother nature was calling.He ate well all winter and by late spring he was on his own and never seen again

Even though we are in the country here, we are too near other home areas.. up there we had to wait for deer as well as black bear to get out of the drive way before I could drive in! Turkey were everywhere as well. Kinda miss that kind of wildlife.

IF you listened carefully just before 3PM, you could hear the sweet sound of tinkling bells that sounded for the angel wings given to my dear friend. Will someone please change the cahrt for me.
Good night.

Cricket: Oh No!!!! Are you saying your dear friend passed away this afternoon? I know you just mentioned earlier today about still going to visit her and I was so hoping that she would hold on long enough for you to get that opportunity. Hugs and much love to you during this difficult time. Cherish the memories and the time you had together.

It has been a really difficult month for most of us with so much illness and sadness. I'm really hoping 2016 will be much better for the team...weight wise and with life in general!

No worries! We will take care of the chart.

Thank you . Kerry always said that no one was the boss over her. And I told her hubby that she picked her time. He said she certainly did. They had just finished final plans and she said " I am not dragging this crap into next year". Carl and I will go down for the memorial service but do not know when it is. I have never been one to really allow closenedd in my life. I have had too mnay childhood friends die. The 2 adult close friend i had are not both gone to cancer. My sister died of cancer in 1984. If not for this team i would feel quite alone.Thank you.
I hope everyone has a better, healthier and happier 2016.
I went off plan tonight. Tomorrow I will pay for it.

Paulette:

Cheers on the continued losses. Hopefully, this is a changing trend for both of us. You will be back to your low in no time and will, hopefully, fly right by it.

You are right about the Type 1 diabetes. A lot of people who know people with Type 2 don't realize the difference. With Type 1's, they don't produce any insulin and must take it to survive without any hope of ever getting off of it. Fortunately, my husband and none of my children have any weight issues. My youngest eats very low carb and the middle child is finally "getting it". The boys are probably on a better insulin regiment than my husband as it is a little easier to control since they take a 24 hour insulin and then have to take a bolus injection for the amount of carbs they are eating at each meal. My husband's timed insulin kicks in around 11:30 to 12:00 for lunch and there better be food available or his BS starts to drop. It's sometimes difficult if we are riding with a large group and we don't always have control over when we can eat. My oldest child, fortunately does not have the disease, but had his own illness to deal with when he was diagnosed with hepatablastoma (a malignant liver tumor) when he was 6. When I think back, that's when a lot of my weight issues began...sitting at the hospital for 8 months, 2 hours away from my 3 month and 3 year old, trying to make myself feel better with food. I am blessed that, right now, they are all healthy boys even though they've been dealt a difficult hand that they have to take control of and manage!

Chrissie: A 0.2 loss is still a loss. Most of my gain came back as a 0.2 to a 0.4 daily gain so you can lose it the same way. I enjoy visiting the city, but I always love coming home to our 3 stop light rural town. Glad you had a great time last night.

Hope Kathy is WINNING at Bingo and enjoying her evening!

Himi must be out bringing in the New Year. We were home by 7:30 and I think my husband was sleeping by 8:00. That's okay with me. With being sick all weekend last week, I'm just hoping for a nice uneventful few days at home.

Just saw that you posted before I was ready to submit. Don't worry about the gain...For you, it will be temporary!

Have a Happy New Year Everyone. Again, Cricket, I'm so sorry for your loss!

I'll update the Chart!

Going to start the year off right. I am signing up for AQUASCIZE at the COLD indoor pool three times a week with the same insructor i had for for 8 years in the summer sessions outdoors. I was considering the gym but that is quite a bit further down the road and I can only do the treadmill which I have at home! Fate had the manager send me an e-mail just now to let me know about openings.Will go ASAP to register.Classes begin Jan 4th. I better get out leggings and a top to wear. I need to get my health back in working order. I think my angle arranged this to happen!

I have lost 2 lbs this morning!

I must say, I am amazed at how swiftly I am dropping right now. I knew I was holding a lot of water, and it is finally going away! I wonder how much if any is actual fat? I am starting to become hopeful that I may finally get over this damnable stall!!!!

CRICKY DOODLE!!! How sorry I am for the loss of your good friend!

And you did not get to see her.

She is now at peace and will always be there for you if you talk to her.

Be kind to yourself now, if you ate off plan, I am sure it was reasonable.

Do not worry about it. The aquacize class sounds fun and I envy you having something like that available to you! I am going to hunt around and see if there is a class like that available to me somewhere near here. I believe they USED to have them at the high school, but that was discontinued for some reason a few years ago.

Have a nice New Year's Day, Cricky.

BARB - Great drop!

Have a fun Induction Day!

You picked the best day of the year to begin anew!

Thank you for the cheers!

HIMI - Sorry your scale was not in the giving mood yesterday.

Maybe today will be better!

CHRISSIE - Congrats on your .2 loss yesterday!

May you see another today!

I think raccoons are creepy. Not as creepy as bats (shudder!), but kind of scary to me! Not sure why I think that.

KATHY - I hope you won the big BINGO pot last night!

----------------
Today I have to eat the leftover Chili Cheese Chicken which I have been putting off for a while.

I am thinking of chopping it up cold and putting it on top of my lettuce greens.

And I have a bunch of avocados left! I will need to whip up some guacamole to put on top, too.

I will have one of my venison patties for dinner. That's the plan. Along with the daily coffee/cream, and a shake made from my yogurt and some cashew milk, my total cals will be 1221 for the day and 18 total carbs. This is pretty high for carbs (for me). I will test my ketones at night. I hope these carbs will be acceptable.

I hope we all have a great start to this new year today! I am so happy these Holidays are finally OVER!

Up .2 today, but today's the big day.

Paulette: Have a great ride on the slide! You deserve these losses after your months of unfailing dedication to this WOE. Love the sign!

Cricket: Glad to hear about the class....and I too feel that in some way, it was an intervention from your friend, Kerry! Came just at the right time! Take this gift and make results happen. You always seemed to enjoy that class if I remember correctly. It's better to exercise and have fun doing it than to dread it. Hope you had a good night's sleep and today is not too tough for you.

I'll check back in later.

"my name is chrissie, and i am a carboholic"......obviously i still am, and will always be. whether it's alcohol, drugs, or food.......an addiction is an addiction, and the fight has to be for the long haul

i have to say, i am glad the holidays are over, and i am glad winter break is almost over......i do SO much better with a routine
