sorry, i haven't been much of a cheerleader. Just insane with work right now - and had my foot (bunion) surgery yesterday. I feel the pain blocker starting to wear off and am heading for one of the valium or vicodin.
so, I'll just sit here in my chair and cheer you all on.
Congrats to all on doing well, and good luck on dealing with any of your problem areas.

hubby is in control of my diet for a few days. which is good. I sure don't seem to be able to stay away from sweets.

well, this has been my view since Friday, and for the next week (at least).
although the colors are new as of yesterday.
It didn't hurt until they changed the bandages yesterday, now it really hurts.



my pants are looser cause hubby is in charge of feeding me at this point, although I did manage to get an omelet made (frozen/microwave) and a cup of orange juice from the kitchen to the family room today. about 4 feet at a time - Imoved it across the counter, bookcase, and couch until I got it to where I am.
no fun.

Wow! Mea culpa everyone!! I'm so sorry I've been MIA for a bit. Life just flies by during the holidays, yanno?

I'll update stats for the last 2 weeks next... just wanted to post and say I'm OK - great actually! I hit ONEderland this week! Woo hoo! Just squeaked it in at 199.8, but I'll take it! It was a BIG motivator, not seeing a 2 in front of my number on the scale.

Again, sorry about my absence! I'll try and be a good girl and post much more often! We're almost done with the challenge - just a couple short weeks to go!

I think I got all of these points right, except for Celest... Celest, I have a different total than you. I think I'm a week off. Could you tell me where I need to correct your totals and I'll fix it for ya.

Heather - I'm catching up to you! If it weren't for you holding the whoosh fairy hostage those first 2 weeks, I'd be neck & neck with you on points.

Great job to everyone for at least holding their weight steady through the holidays. That's HUGE!

Great job Mada!! You are on a roll and will pass me soon enough I'm sure. It's going to be a busy day so I'll just be confident that I'll finish the day on plan today.

Up to Date to Mondays Total:
Exercise = 245 points
Water = 205 points
Not eating = 165 points
Pounds lost = 130 points
-
Exercise - Walked on treadmill & upper body weight training every other day
Water - All 8 cups *5 points each day
not eating - *5 points each day
Pounds - Looks like I'm battling a stubborn plateau. Got to keep the faith that the scale will go back down. Maybe a Christmas present from the whoosh fairy? lol

Ugh... MIL sent homemade candy with the presents for the boys. So, I had one of each kind (3 total), and have decided that's enough. I won't be eating any more of those (they were OK, but weren't mind-blowingly good, so I'm not going to waste calories on them). The boys & DH can have 'em. I think I'm going to make myself some LC peanutbutter fudge and LC coconut bark candy instead.

DH cracked me up last night... he comes down after taking a shower and asks, "What does it mean when the scale reads "GET OFF! GET OFF!"." LOL! I laughed and told him "Well at least it didn't call you Fatty McButterpants!" and said I knew what his New Year's resolution was going to be. He said, "Yeah...." *crossing fingers he really means it*
