12-7-23 Thursday Weigh-In -- December Holidays

[Belle]

Enjoy the Holidays you celebrate

Know they will be great

 

Trouble they come with drink and food

The whole month can you be good

 

Know that we all will try our best

December sure gives us a test

 

Just have to eat less  you can do

Dessert just take a bite or two

 

At least try to maintain so not to have extra weight

So in January same weight or less to start out straight

 

 

Robin welcome back.  Hope everyone has a good weigh in and has a good week coming.

Belle, thanks for the poem!

 

Well ... the ice cream has been my downfall ... I seem to be up 2.0# this week.  

 

Hope everyone had a good week.  Jan

Thanks for the great poem Belle!

 

I've weighed myself this morning 😱 and have a starting point for next week. DH is going to work out of town for the week so I have a good chance to drop some weight without him here insisting we eat all the food, all the time!

 

Sorry to hear  you gained Jan but hope you enjoyed the ice cream.

[Belle]

Hello Jan and Robin.

 

Jan sorry you had a gain but understand the "ice cream." As I said before

calls my name too. Ignore it calling your name this week and hope the

gain will come off fast.

 

Robin glad you came back, sorry about the cancer. Glad you're doing well now.

Yes, you have a good start with only having to cook and eat for yourself. Wishing

 you a good loss next Thursday.

 

Me I lost a pound this week. Hope can do it next week.

 

Hope to see Izena, Terri and Solo in here soon. 

 

To those reading, join us and get a start on the Holidays of checking in each Thursday to keep you accountable and help you not to gain during this time

or help you gain less. And the main thing might help you have a loss this Holiday Month..

Belle, congratulations on losing this week!!!   I will try to ignore ice cream the rest of this week!!  Jan

[Belle]

Jan I know it's hard. We can eat it in Freezing weather as well as hot.

What I'm trying when eating it to have a small serving and not have seconds.

Works sometimes, not always to be honest but I just keep trying.

What would work the best is if I Wouldn't BUY IT.🙁

 

Thanks on the congrats.

[Izena]

Good evening.  Just letting everyone know I’m alive.  Basically getting my 73 year old tune up - feel like I’m trying to get in the Guinness book of records to have the most medical specialist referrals in a year.  So far nothing serious has been diagnosed but the process is frightening .  
 

I will check in weekly.  I know I am gaining so will need everyone’s support when I’m ready to get back on track.

 

Belle thanks for this site.

[Belle]

Izena I'm sorry you're still not feeling well and don't know why. Glad they haven't found

anything serious but sorry you're still taking tests.

 

I know it's hard not to eat right when you don't feel well especially. when it's been months.

I know you'll be able to lose weight when you feel better and are ready. I hope you coming

in here helps you not gain too much more that you can just stay the same for now.

 

Take care

Everyone ready for the weekend?  Having a quiet one or a busy one?

Hope you have a relaxing one, a fun one, whatever way you choose.

Hope you can keep your eating right with your plan or don't go off to

much that you have a gain.

 

Take care. there's covid and the flu going around. Here to stay forever sorry to say..

 

[Belle]

I guess a busy one. If quiet one you could of come in and talked.

Mine was half and half.

 

Everyone have a Good Sunday.

[Belle]

No one feels like talking. Come on--How was your weekend?

 

I did a little shopping for Christmas (having early this Friday) and for my

cruise. What I hate is the online shopping is making stores close. Lost couple of stores I bought clothes at. Don't know where to go now. I like to try my clothes on. Guess will have to drive farther but their losing stores too. What's funny the one online store I did shop at in the covid time frame

is out of business now!  Woe is me.🙁

 

Hope to see you all in here soon, tell me how you're doing. As of today, lost a little but went

food shopping yesterday too. More food in the house. Have to be careful. I should be to busy

to eat, need to clean house, get stuff together for cruise. (still iron) Way behind in everything.

Plus, Wed. going out to get flu and covid shots (I know should have done sooner) and the bank and little more shopping.

 

My cruise is Dec. 22nd to Feb. 2nd.  Hawaii and Mexico. Will be people I know each cruise,

doing 3 b2b's.

 

See it's not hard to come in here and talk. 

[Jan_In_Maine]

Oh Belle, wish I was going on your cruise - I love Hawaii!  Nice that there will be people that you have met before that always adds to the fun.

 

I still need to do some shopping - we are going to be playing games, having breakfast together - this will be after Christmas as we do a every other year so that the "in-laws" have the same amount of time with their families .... On Saturday as many people who are available will go to Walmart where the local police department have a toys for tots .... the grandkids can pick out items they think that kids will like - we've done it before and we had a great time and it was good for the kids to understand about giving (and not always getting).  On Sunday we are going to do the theater "A Christmas Carol" with all our kids and grandkids (except for one daughter-in-law) who is going to the play with her mom.  After the play everyone will be meeting for dinner at a local restaurant.  (My daughter-in-law will be there also).  Christmas Eve we are inviting everyone to join us for Chinese food (its a tradition) - Not everyone will be here - then we will all be together toward the end of the month.  Christmas day we are going to my son-in-laws mom's for dinner - that will be fun.

 

This time of the year is always interesting - my dad's birthday is the 16th and my mom passed away on the 20th ... we will also be celebrating them too.

 

Hope everyone is having a good week.  Jan
