Waxing poetic there, Linda!  I love it.....  Just "you" is decoration enough I'm sure.......  only two more "get ups" and the big day is here!  I brought Christmas cookies home from work yesterday and they aren't even tempting me.  It's a very good year......

Same foods for me today I think but it's pretty early!  Enjoy your day.

Linda.....you are such a poet! Love your countdown to Christmas!!

I went out and bought a car last night. Not brand new but new to me. It is a 2006 Black Grand Prix.  24,000 miles on it...not bad. It has everything including a sun roof!! Very sporty...very fun!!

My meals are always plenty of protein just not sure what they will be......B-yogurtw/kashi and string cheese...the rest of the day is a mystery??

Have a wonderful day my wonderful friend!!

Love you...gentle hugs....Boo....to you!!

Three days before Christmas and the internet brought to me, pretty people who have had wt loss surgery!

Sorry, I'm not such a poet like you, Linda.

Did well at the little Christmas supper for DS & DIL -- had a pretty big slice of the "supreme" pizza and only ate the toppings, the crust went into the trash, and also had a nice salad.  Did have a small piece of pumpkin pie
*my low fat/sugar free version^ with a dollop of lite cool whip on it.   Got the nice heavy grill pan I had asked for so now I can grill my meats and also a beautiful pair of 14 ct. gold small hoop earrings, along with some other nice things -- kids spent way too much.

Work again today -- hope I have some, it was getting pretty scarce yesterday..

B - Wt. Control oatmeal w/ff milk & PB2
L - taco chicken breast
D - don't know yet, maybe just some cottage cheese
S - Lord, keep me away from the cookies at work!

D - George, our older son, and I are going out for an early dinner.  George's former supervisor recently opened a little diner type restaurant - homestyle food.  We've been once already.  Son wants to go try it.  She doesn't have the healthiest choices, so I'm watching what I eat all day in preparation for this evening.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (With all I have to do tomorrow, I may not have time to post.)
Love y'all, Debbie

I saw my pcp yesterday and he was so pleased with my 35 pound weigh loss.  I told him I haven't felt this good for years.
He smiled at me, put his arm around me and gave me a hug and wished me a Merry Christmas.  He has been DH and my family Doctor for years and I adore him!!  Very kind, understanding and thorough.  He is an Internal Medicine Doc.

Yes, only 2 more wake ups!  I think I'm done with all the shopping, except I've got to get some sweet potatos.

Menu
cuppa ambition
B- greek 0% yogurt & Kashi go poop
S- Protein drink
L-Turkey roll up and string cheese
S Navel orange off my tree(they are sooo sweet)
D-3 oz med shrimp & edamame
S- greek 0% yogurt & Kashi go poop

that should do it for today.  The scale has started to move again,      thank goodness. I hate plateaus.  

OK folks,  Not doing so well here.  The weather in the Pacific Northwest is just too scary and I won't be driving to my daughters for the holidays.  So have to get her presents in the mail fast.  The roof started leaking a week ago and the tarp I put up there isn't working so I need to get that fixed sooner than later.  My son who lost his job is moving back to his dad's place in Bakersfield.  That's a good thing that he wil be closer to me but his dad is a brutal man and I am concerned for Tom's safety while there.  So these are my main concerns.
And I find that I'm using food for comfort again.  There are just too many tempting sweets around at work and I've had a few pieces of candy.  I had a glass of wine on Saturday and a bourbon/water on Sunday, none of which made me sick, darn it.  And I've been eating tamales but they will be gone today.
So I need to get back in control pronto.  Pep talk would be greatly appreciated.

B coffee, string cheese
s protein wafers
L tamales, tangerine
s turkey jerky
D maybe last two tamales, maybe I'll just give them to the dog

Linda,

We had lentil soup today, too.  So, so good.

And we were without power for most of today.  A big inconvenience, but then I remembered my mom telling me about growing up in a house without electricity, no telephone, and the only toilet was outside (in the freezing weather of northern Maine), and then I realized how lucky we are.

Of course, I realize that many parents tell the "I had to walk uphill through the snow for 10 miles to get to school" story, but other family members have confirmed Mom's version of their life, so I'm not in a position to argue with her about it (or anything).  The only thing I debate with Mom now is when she says awful things like, "I was a terrible mother."  I just can't let that kind of remark pass without contesting it.

We are happy today because Patch and her babies are doing so well.  We needed another dog (never mind her puppies) like we needed a hole in the head, but having these wiggling little kids here is a true Christmas miracle.  I know it's not quite the same, but it makes me think of a friend who said recently that every time she has looked at her grandbabies (or remembers her own babies), all she could think was: "And our Lord loved us so much that He sacrified his Son for us."

B: oatmeal w/ skim milk, banana & PB2
S: iced skinny latte
L: salmon w/ fruit salsa
S: protein bar
D: lentil soup
S: flourless peanut butter cookie (made w/ Splenda)
