Merry Christmas All!!

Melly - Thank you so much for sharing your Christmas. It's so often when we give of ourselves to Him (such as you going to worship service when you really wanted to stay home) He blesses us in a most wonderful way. Beautiful!

I hope you all had and are still having a great Christmas!

Hope everyone had a great xmas

[Mom2Daisy]

Ok....I have one more Christmas gathering tonight to break my all time record....Staying on ANY plan during the whole holiday season!! TOM decided to visit for Christmas I've also been on hydrocodone (sp) cough syrup this whole time too. I think once I stop taking it I'll finally get to 'go' LOL and lose 5 pounds. I endulged in pecans and peanut butter last night...but still low carb!! I haven't gained anything either. So all in all, I'm proud of me! Not gonna pee on any sticks for a few days though
Hope you all are having a great day!!

Day 157~~ 166
It is my own fault. I ate whatever I wanted in a day. Well that stopped this morning. I upped my water last night and my green tea. Hopefully I will be in ketosis in another day. Today is going to me hard. Gave hubby all the bad sweets to take to work

My butt still hurts alot. I need it to get better fast to start my new job on Jan 2. I am also suppose to test drive new trucks/suvs on Sat and Sun. Hard to do if you cannot sit

B~ 2 fried eggs
D~ Sirloin Steak
1/2 cup cottage cheese

WATER WATER WATER......I cannot get enough water today. and I will make it.

Happy Holidays everyone

[Melly]

Michele I missed something..........new job? Do tell!!!!

[Melly]

BTW........did you try the washcloth thingy?

[Crohnie]

well, I got offered a new job running a gas station ( just one, thank god)) and then moving up to District Manager. It is with a totally new organization. Hell , they wanna pay me alot of money to do it . The stores I was running were sold in Oct after I was there for 27 years.

It does hurt to sit though and I have not shared much of my illness with the new employers.

I have tried the wash cloth thing and taking 3 baths a day. I also have those Tucks pads that help alot too. They put a seton in there and it is making it very uncomfortable ( you can google seton fistula). Basically it is to keep it from closing back up into an abcess and keep draining. Not sure for how long
Sorry TMI

[Crohnie]

Finally going down again.

B~ fried eggs
D~ steak
1/2 ~~cup cottage cheese

not in ketosis yet. Still hungry

Guess it is just you and me Melly

[Mom2Daisy]

I'm lurking girls....just now had the time to post again. Also ashamed of myself.... ANGELA ~REPEAT AFTER ME "Peanut Butter is NOT your friend" neither are cashews or any kind of nut for goodness sake!! I gotta go back to strict stillmans. The nuts are holding me captive in this house. The jars are conspiring against me....I hear them clinking in the cabinets.
I did cook a bunch of chicken yesterday in hopes of getting back to strict stillmans. It's not like I'm eating the macadamia nut filled hershey's kisses :: drool :: I've still stayed away from sugar and bread but I know they are the next level of the cave in if I don't get back on the wagon!!
Ok, I've fessed up...I wish I felt better! I still want to finish off that jar of Peter Pan.
Ok, I guess I'll go to plan B - Clean house My child has an obsticle course in the livingroom with ALL the cushions off the couch and chairs mingled with large bags of christmas gifts she got from all her child-spoiling family members.
Keep up the good work Michelle! You are motivating me more than you know Melly, no need for the Doxidan (sp) jingle. Had me lots of coffee yesterday! I remember that cowboy singing back in the 80's "Doxidan gentle Doxidan, when nature needs a helping hand..." ROFL I'm done with all my drugs too....no excuses now.
Ok...off to my plan "B"
::::Jumping in the pile of cushions wrestling them back in order::::

Hi everyone..........popping in briefly to say I hope you all had a great Christmas.

Nope, I'm not "dieting" until Jan. 2nd when I will be going CHEAT FREE UNTIL I REACH GOAL WEIGHT!!!!!!! Have never done completely cheat free and I'm gearing up. I have not even weighed. I will do so and report my horrible number on Jan. 2nd!!!!!!!

Was extremely busy over Christmas, spent time with family and went to visit dad in the nursing home.

Will try and check back in more often, but DH's business has finally taken off again and I don't have much computer time. Really need to save money for a laptop!!!!!!

Bye for now..............and HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

[DEBI IN OHIO]

xmas and hubby have been home while I am still working fulltime during the holidays.......weight isnt coming off, but I am staying the same, cashews have been my side kick the last 2 weeks -I dont like other nuts, and I have been hungry no matter what I eat, I dont eat many nuts at a time(thank goodness)

[idioglossic]

running thru...

Happy new year to all...

[Crohnie]

[GApeach23]

Dropping in to say hi y'all.........where is everyone hiding???? Myself, I've been in a carb haze...........

Still gearing up..........I'm trying to get every craving out of my system. It seems to be working.........One of my all time favorites (homemade mac and cheese) is doing NOTHING for me now, as well as my homemade dressing. And the fudge........still a bunch in the fridge........so maybe my plan has worked, it what I want until I get tired of it or until Jan. 2nd comes along, which ever comes first, and I think it's me getting sick of my favorites.........YIPPIE!!!!!!!

Hope to see some more folks checking in soon.

[Mom2Daisy]

GApeach23: I'm trying to get every craving out of my system.

Sounds like a plan to me!! Honestly, I sat down with a new jar of peanut butter yesterday thinking on this same line of reasoning. Not sure if it worked It lubed all my gears that's for sure!

Hubby took me out for crab legs tonight. YUMMO!! He said he's proud of me ....even if I did eat that sugar encrusted dessert last night. I tell ya, that goes a long way with me (not the sugar....the encouragement!!) I've not had this sort of support out of him before. (Long long story )

I'm WAY off schedule today. I feel like a newborn with my days and nights mixed up! LOL Tuesday is going to hurt so bad. Back to working on my hello kitty latch hook. LOL My DD started it (like 8 or 9 pieces of yarn) and I'm in it for the long haul to get the fuzz ball finished.
Good night.....or morning
