Hi Lori,

Yes, on week-end it will be or they promised to be 60F. It's getting a little warmer today, in 40s. Really when it is cold weeks in the row you are getting tired of it. I agree, you have to work to look good in the bathing suit. I didn't count calories for couple days here and there, just forgot or we didn't have electricity. I know how and what i eat now, so it's not a problem. We have busy week-end, half of it actually. On Saturday there is my husband's family reunion and Sunday is usual staying at home, cleaning and cooking day.

Florida sounds so great, we went there a year ago to visit friends. Laying on the beach was my favourite thing to do

Wow, that's great that you stay in your weight, good job!

have a great week-end

Hi Lori,

I am coming every day to enter my calories and checked if  you were here. I am glad you are back. I have one more pound until i will reach my goal, but now i am thinking maybe i will have another goal to loose 5 more pounds. I am going to the gym 3 times a week now, try to but sometimes i miss it. Like last week we had winter storm and we didn't work for  two days. Then it was so cold that when i was home from work i really didn't want to get out.

Hope to see you here more often.

Leila

HI Lorri,

I am so glad to hear about you and i am glad that everything is going good with you . I missed couple days counting calories and was all right. I think that i learned how to eat right, beeing in my calorie range. I don't go to the gym as often as i would like to, but i  feel good. I think that i will have new goal after i will reach 132, want to go down to 125. We will see how this will work for me.

Florida sounds great!!! We went  to St.Petersburg last year to visit my husband's friends and stayed at their house near the ocen. That was such a wonderful time, sun, sand and ocean. I can't wait to go back. Have fun,Lori, enjoy your family. I miss talking to you too.

This year started good, hopefully it will be this way all the way.

have a wonderful day

Hello everybody!

I had wonderful Christmas and New Year. I was  in my calorie range all this time and i did weight in on Friday, i didn't loose anything, still 134. I was very busy with all the parties and dinners with friends and really didn't have time to come on CC.

I am glad to see you, Lori

talk to you later

Leila

HI Girls,

I didn't loose anything this week, still 134. But i know the reason, i am  not eating my calories, i am always under. When i come home from work we have dinner and then i  can't eat a lot after that. If i am hungry i can eat Kellog's special K , which i love, that's 160 calories and maybe frozen yogurt which is 90. So i end up beeing under my calories every day. Need to eat more on Christmas  

I am sorry to hear about your storm, Lorri. We have just rain and clouds and fog. It doesn't feel like Christmas at all. Now, it is so dark outside that it feels like night and the temperature is 40F. So i guess no snow for us. We went to the Borders last night and there were so many people there doing last minute shopping, it's amazing. I am so glad that i am done with that.

Maintaining is probably as harder then to loose weight. Good luck to you, Tammy. And  you are right, i will enjoy Christmas and New Yors without thinking too much about gym. I am planning to go on Saturday, we will see if i will be able to. We have a lot of stuff to do.

Enjoy your week-end, girls. Lorri, i hope you will find a minute to have  a rest and enjoy yourself.

Leila

Hi girls,

Lori, i have heard about the weather where you live, that's really horrible. I hope that your daughter will have electricity back this week. We have very warm weather this week, in 60s and that is crazy. I am really tired of the temperature jumping from cold to warm and back. I backed the cookies as i planned on week-end and put the tree together, decorated it too. I started to wrap the presents and did half of them yesterday. So i am in good shape. I went to the gym on Saturday morning and spend there good hour. But i overslept my class time on Sunday. We are planning to go the gym tomorrow with my husband.

have a great day

Leila

Hi,

Thank you,Lori, my eyes are much better today. The medicine worked and i slept for couple hours. But i also put my Christmas tree and decorated it. So on week-end i will need to wrap the presents and my Christmas cards are ready to be sent out.  Fried clams sounds good, here in Maryland, they are in every restaurant and very good. But they are deep fried which means they are high in calories. It is Christmas time almost,i guess you will eat a lot of stuff that you shouldn't. I am under my calories and will see what scale will show tomorrow for me. It is raining here second day but on week-end cold weather will come back with snow showers.

Leila

Oh, Lori, how could you eat in McDonalds!!!  That is really bad. Maybe you just needed to eat something bad, it just makes you feel better(while you are eating) and then you feel guilty. I know this feeling. You know sometimes i crave a piece of cake, chocolate or pizza and i eat it. After that i feel guilty. But we are all human, so don't be so hard on yourself.

I didn't put the Christmas tree yet, we have artificial one. Once we had real tree and i was cleaning after that all year round. So we bouth artificial and that works for us. But it takes time to put it together and to decorate it. I don't know yet when i will do this, maybe one day after work when i will be in mood for that.

I feel so sour still, i can't walk, can't sit down without feeling pain in my legs. Well, i didn't have a class for a long time, that is the result. But now i want to go every Sunday. I hope i will be able to do everything planned for the week-end.

Leila

Hi everybody,

I managed to go to the gym two days in the row, Saturday morning and Sunday morning . On Sunday i had body pump class, which was great. I  figured that i can't go during the week right now, so i will go on week-ends.  I am done with Christmas shopping!!!!!!! Yesterday we were shopping whole day and finished. Now i need to wrap everything and i feel that my back starts aching now I will spend a lot of time sitting on the floor.  We had snow yesterday for the first time and in the morning when i left house everything was white, cars were covered with snow, as were trees and ground. That was really beautiful picture. And it is really cold. So i feel like Christmas today.

That is so great that you want to give little presents for kids. I didn't know that you work in foster home. That is probably difficult to see how they suffer, they are so little and probably went through a lot.

I am doing good with the calories, actually almost every day i am under. And today i feel like i can eat something that i wanted for couple weeks - a piece of cake. I burned a lot of calories today at body pump class, i was sweating so bad, that it was embarrassing.

Well, we have a company lunch before Christmas and potluck in our department. I am going to bake German Chocolate cake.

Christmas is coming......... and it's great. Next week-end i am going to bake cookies for my husband and for the office.

stay warm and take care

Leila

Hi girls,

I had a very long and wonderful week-end, from Wednesday to Sunday. It was hard to get up today and go to work but i am here. Everybody is sleepy and talk about shopping on-line, i guess that's what we will be doing today. I hope to loose couple pounds until Chtristmas too. I am planning to go to the gym this week. I am done with Christmas presents for my family and going to sent the box on Saturday. Now i need to start looking for the presents for my husband and his family.  I will try to by in my calories even on Christmas holidays, and i think that now i just can't eat much. We went couple times out for dinner and i always took half of the meal home.

have a good day

Leila

Hi everybody,

Tammy,that is scary!!! Shooting in front of your house, wow. That never happened at the place where we live. But in Baltimore, that is 30 minutes away from us that happens every day, i watch morning news.

These couple days were really busy at work. We work until 1 o'clock today and we are off tomorrow and the next day after Thanksgiving. So i have stuff to do before the long week-end.  It is cold but sunny today. Lori, how are doing? I hope everything is all right.

Have a wonderful holiday and great week-end

Leila

Hi Lori,

I  gained one pound too this week. I don't know why but that's the way it works.

It sounds that you had fun last night, that's great. Oh, you are good if you are wrapping Christmas gifts. I am almost done with my family in St.Petersburg. I want to get for my Mom's birthday gold hoops and i am going to go shopping tomorrow if i won't get sick. My husband got sick today at work, he is sneezing and coughing, his nose is stuffed. So i will take care of him tonight so he would be able to go to work on Monday,he has important meeting. I will use herbs mostly.

It is cold here too and today it was snowing for the first time. Today it is 32 all day and wind is strong and cold. I love to come home and wear something really warm.  We don't have any plans for the week-end except shopping.

have a wonderful week-end and stay warm

Leila

Hi girls,

Oh, i am sorry to hear about your back, Tammy. I didn't have anything like that ,but my parents have this problem all the time. So i know about it. I saw my mom crying like a baby when she was trying to get up from the bed or sofa. You did really something increadible, actually you were learning how to walk again. That's amazing! I hope you won't need to go through this again.

Yes, i really did enjoy the concert and can't wait when we will go again. It doesn't cost so much money as to go to the musicals. I really didn't know that it is so expensive. But we tried to find out about tickets to listen to the opera in Washington opera and ballet theatre. It is crazy money, $200 is just a start. And of course there you can hear the best voices, but still it is too expensive. So we have DVD and CDs  to listen to  epera singers that we like. Sara Britman is coming to Washington in November, i am going to find out about the tickets. Maybe we could afford to go. Lori, maybe you should try to listen some Andrea Bochelli cds. 

I am going to the gym tonight after work. It is really getting cold here, at night in low 30s.

have a great day

Leila

Hi Lori and Tammy,

I did my weight in this morning and lost one pound, i am really happy about that. I am 134 now and going down to my goal.

Last nigiht my husband and i went to the gym and spend their an hour. I was on my favourite elliptical machine. I have a day off today, so i  am going to enjoy today and this week-end. We are going to do errands today instead of Saturday, because we are going to the concert on Saturday night.

How was your weight in? 

have a nice week-end

Leila

Hi Lori,

I hope everything is all right with you and you feel better, not worse after your birthday. I didn't go to the gym last night, i was so tired that i couldn't even think about it. You know when it is getting colder it is more difficult to get out of the warm house and go somewhere. Besides it is getting dark at 5 o'clock and when you get home you feel sleepy
