Hi Diane! Right there with ya babe! I made TERRIBLE food choices over the holidays. Thank goodness it is out of the house now! And today is pay day so I'm going to the store and stocking up on good food. And I'm back to the gym today too. A good fresh start for the new year! I managed to gain 3 pounds over the holidays and that scared me. I need to get back with the program! Deanna

Diane Good for you for being responsible to know that you made the choices to eat poorly. I would love to blame everything else other than me but it all boils down to personal choice. I was supposed to try to lose weight over the holidays because I am having knee surgery next week, but I ended up gaining a couple of pounds. As of tomorrow, I am back to protein and no white carbs. The lifelong battle...

Well here we are on the eve of the new year. I hope this message finds you all well and heading into a great new and wonderful year. My prayers are with you all for a new year full of great new adventures, goals met, and times to cherish forever. Luv you all and this past year has been an amazing ride, one that I could not have done without all of you and your support through out the year. Be well and I will see you next year. Carla

I have nothing planned but to chill out. I have a bunch of bookkeeping to get done in the next 21 days and I will probably start today... and of course that leads to Income Tax Paperwork. I hope to get it knocked out this month. last night I got out, and had a couple of sips of root beer from my son while roller skate, me skating, not him.. then we went out to dinner and I had a sweet tea and pizza with white flour and then I got home and started sucking down an orange pop with a tiny chocolate chip cookie. OMG I was dumping so bad I thought my heart was going to explode.. bad bad bad choices.. I sucked down 3 slices of cheese and a 1/4 cup of plain almonds and 20 oz of unsweetened tea to get my system rebooted. while I was dumping, I thought I was going to sweat to death, first indicator that I am dumping now days. and then once I was stabilized, I was freezing to death. it is so freaky.. my body temperature is indicative of my blood sugar. if I am too cold, it is too low, and I need sweets, if it is too high, I am too hot and I need protein. what a freaking PITA!
