Where is everyone?????

What is everyone doing? How are you all handling the holiday treats, the partys, the food? I find myself so busy and I am not getting my protein in. We have to make sure we make time for ourself and eat right. Plan ahead so that we don't get caught starving and making a bad choice. Right now water is not good because I am so cold but I am drinking a lot of decalf hot tea. Let us know from all you new guys how you are doing. Anyone buying a new outfit for the holidays? Don't spend alot, shop at thrift stores. I do and that way if I only wear it a couple of times its no big deal. I bought 2 pair of pants today and only spent 3bucks. You guys keep in touch Jane

I am working! well hardly working but shhhh dont tell anyone. Its been crazy lately but you know that already. Tomorrow is Masons 4th birthday and everything is taken care of with that. I noticed something the other day that is kinda bothering me though. I can see my chest bones not my collar bones... but the other bones lol. They arent super noticable but I can see them when i look in the mirror and one of the girls in ER said she could see them also. So... I weigh 154... my goal is 150... do I keep losing just to get to goal... or do I stop now? I have had a rough time with food lately and not wanting to eat... which i know is bad but its hard to force myself to eat. I am getting better with it though. I just dont know what to do... any thoughts?

Yea it's probably time to quit. But I have found just maintaning is hard to do. We don't want to see those bones now do we. When I look in the mirror I can see my bones in the back. You know our wings. I don't have hardly anthing on my shoulders. He did you see I am in a size 8. Yea Glad Birthday is worked out. Jane

I can feel and see my shoulder bones... I dont think I look sickly though... but i dont want to get to the point when i look sick. Yes congrats on the 8's... I still need to come over and try on your size 8's. I bet I could fit into em. You and i are only 4lbs apart. But I have a boatload of hip lol... My hips stick out so far its pretty gross lol. anyway yes masons birthday is all worked out.. i will tell you about it later. Sarah

Hey Jane, Do you want to use my Holiday Ham from work for Christmas...If not I don't know what I will do with it....I sure can't eat it...LOL... Let me know... Amy

Sure let me know what kind. You know how dad is about hams. He like the old fashion. But we can freeze it. We can use it I am sure. I trying to figure out the traditional macaroni salad. I have to make it you know. I plan on doing shrimp again. And the cheese ball is ok. Good protein. I even think taco dip is ok. Will use baked tortias.

Sounds yummy....I have made the mac salad a few times...I think I remember how... The ham is from honey baked ham...would probably have to add to it if you want to use it for Christmas...the gift cert. is for $37.00 ham...so let me know...I will get the cert. next week...I am off Christmas Eve..so just let me know what you want me to bring, or make... Amy

I have an actual HAM in my frig. Chris got one from work. Take a look at it. I don't want it to go bad. Ok....as far as the bones go...I am thinking, you guys SUCK!! I want bones! I want the back fat to be GONE. I want my hips to stick out and I promise I won't think they are gross. Neither of you look sick. You look gorgeous. I'll make something too!! I'll just add the nummy nummy Unflavored Unjury.... mmmmmmm mmmmmmmm good.

Hi Jane, So far the treats haven't been that tempting. However, I have to start my holiday baking next week (I use them as gifts). I bought sugar free Dove chocolate bites that helps, though. I eat it really slowly and it gives me the sweet chocolately flavor that I love. I'm finding it hard to get my protein in as well. I have three more weeks of my disability leave and have to find a routine that works well. It will be so much harder once I'm at work so it's important that I establish one now. Have a great holiday!
