WHATS HAPPENING SATURDAY

Sorry about not getting on here yesterday....the day just got away from me way too fast. So i thought that i would get on here today.That way i can continue to do the things i need to get done ...Yesterday I started cleaning the house and kept getting stopped . either byh the phone or someone in the neighborhood...but i got a lot accomplished any way....cleaned the bedroom from top to bottom,  love my tall ceili,ngs until i try to clean the cobwebs down . Even cleaned and straightened the closet and sock and underwear drawers...so Joe has lots of new rags and we have gotten rid of a lot of things we dont need or what eve. , ususally take all left over clothes to the goodwill or some such place but a lot of this wasnt any good for any thing .., just old t shirts and stuff like that. .

Im having a problem of snacking lately....will be ok for several days and then one day it will just hit me and i snack likke ton and want to eat anything.  so far havent gain any weight from it but i know i will if it keeps it up

Oh was meaning to tell all of you , Last week i got a phone call fr Vesta....do some of you remember her from here....anyway she called me and told me  her husband had passed away...dont remember if i told you all this or not???

Well coffee is ready going to make me a protein coffee and get busy working....got the tree put together last night and part of the lights on. will get the rest of them on and the other things on ...
funny how something so pretty can take so long to do. lol 

will try to get on here later today and see what you all are doing with your long vacation   day....

Jan, sometimes I get in the cleaning mode and can't stop.  My vacation is officially over.  It was very relaxing.  Didn't get much done.  I did put together a Barbie quilt for the little girl I adopted from the Angel tree.  I'm going to work in my woman cave this afternoon.  I've got 2 heaters going out there.  Takes a while to get it warmed up. 

I have a problem snacking and I'm working on breaking it by scheduling one mid morning, afternoon and in the evening.  Those snacks go right down.  At mealtime I can't eat very much if I had a snack plus too many snacks aren't good for anyone.  I did lost a half lb. this week.  I'm down about 6 lbs. this month.

One thing I need to do is track my protein.  I'm sick of protein coffee and if I don't like something, it won't go down.  I add protein to my yogurt but I really need to check and be sure I'm getting at least 80 grams a day.

Turkey has never been a favorite of mine but I could eat it until I had RNY.  I just don't like it and this year, it ruined my dinner.  I ate the turkey first and I swear it got bigger and bigger as I chewed.  Just couldn't eat it.  I had put a spoonful of gravy on the dressing so it tasted like turkey too.  I didn't enjoy my T-giving dinner at all.  I took my knitting so when dessert was served, I said, "No, thanks."  My SIL baked a Pumpkin and Apple Pies so there was no SF dessert for me.  I wanted to take a healthy dessert but my SD said Steve was making dessert.  I took a fruit salad and baked corn.

I'm making dessert to take to my niece's but I'm using Splenda.  One person is diabetic so he appreciates the SF and the others can't tell the difference.

Beautiful day today. 

Jo i dont think of my protein coffee as that, i think if it as a cappachino because the way i make it that is that is what it taste like....i put about a half package of  sugar free hot choc mix in with the protein and splenda...mix that up and then add the coffee....i love it ...and have been doing that every day for over a year. ....sometimes i will put a dollop of sugar free whipped cream on top but not often.

finding things that taste good is always a chore ....what we use to love just isnt right now is it.? i have found i like really simple things that have different seasons on them . i use a lot of hot seasons tho i know that a lot of people cant eat them for me and my tummy it is what it likes....

Good Mornign OH,

My DD and her DH and DD just left, just have my older DS and two of the GC left here. They will be here til tomorrow morning.

Jan~I officially start school this Monday, have to be there between 06:30 and 07:00. School last 3 weeks, hopefully will have a job set up by the end of the last week. Am really excited now.

I have read several articles from medical profressional that say sometimes when we have cravings it's our bodies way of telling us there is a need for something like minerals, vitamins or maybe not enough of some nutrient. Since you are good for a few days maybe it's just not getting enough rest. Then again could just be the Holidays and winter coming in.

Sorry to hear about Vesta's husband passing. I pray that she has a good support system with her.

Getting ready to take a nap, Loved the Thanksgiving but it really wore me out. I did really great with the food, I made myself a sugar free crustless pumpkin custard and enjoyed having that for my desert, until I got sick after eating it, at first I thought because of the canned milk it might have too rich, then I looked at the whipped topping I thought was sugar free, turns out I grabbed the regular by mistake. Won't do that again. Also found out I can't drink egg nog, didn't dump, but had to lay down until I got rid of the quesyness.

We had Turkey Tacos yesteday and today I am making the boys take all the food they can carry home with them. The only thing I want is the little bit of Turkey I saved for me.

I hope everyone had a good Thanks-giving, I am Thankful for the wonderful people that post on this board.

HUGS
