Hey, I'd love any loss at all. This is a hard season for all of us who are carb junkies but we'll get there. Hugs and love to all and Merry Christmas. I'm going to DD's Thursday so may not be bac****il I get back from there near New Year's Eve.
I love you all and hope you have a great holiday.
Hugs,
Lana

Can you believe only 5 days till Christmas.  Where did this year go??  I did some baking yesterday and dipped pretzel rods in chocolate and sprinkles.  The bread will go to friends and my kids.  Way too high in carbs for me but I'm going to make my own bread.  The pretzel rods were a total pain to mess with.  I finally dipped them, laid on wax paper and sprinkled the stuff over them. 

Until I had RNY, I baked and made oodles of candy and stuff for Christmas.  Now I think I was really doing it because I wanted it.  I did give a lot away, but I ate a lot of it.  It just doesn't interest me now.  I'd rather be reading or sewing or something that doesn't involve a mess to clean up.  The sugar just doesn't sit well and I know I won't maintain or lose any weight eating that junk.

Last week I lost 1.4 lbs.......not earth shattering but it's a loss.  I feel so much better when I'm eating healthy. 

Hope all of you have a great day!!

Hey gals,

I missed ya'll while I went quail hunting in Texas last week. Long days, hot weather, dry weather all conspired to make for horrible quail hunting. However, I walked at least 5 miles per day and got lots of exercise. Still struggling with water and protein (geez, you'd think I'd get it by now) - but have added foods now and *think* I can get my protein in with foods now since I was puking on the protein shakes.

I'm down to 203.8lbs weighing in today. Will update the ticker thingee soon. Hope everyone is ready for a great Christmas week.

Take care!

 I got to speak to my brother on the phone for a minute today. He knew who I was but he got really confused while talking. He fell out of the bed the first night he was in the VA hospital so now they have him in a lower bed and have someone sitting with him. I think he is getting extra attention due to the fact he was the volunteer of the year there last year. I am concerned about his confusion.
He took a big hit to the head and was knocked out so I hope there is not any damage and its just all the meds.

Its gonna be a different Christmas here, my youngest is not coming home. First time ever. I hope I don't get too depressed. Oldest one will come over at least for a while so that will help.

DH and I are planning a trip to Paris in the spring. Really looking forward to that. Couldn't have  enjoyed a long plane ride two years ago.

Hope you all have a great day.
