WWer's Check In- Friday 12/22

[alsrnbsn]

Well, my parents may be arriving tonight, but it's a maybe depending on the weather!

The to-do list is now, officially a "no-do" list. Yes, it's all done (except the delegated duties of cleaning the bathroom) I am determined NOT to worry about it. It was delegated, therefore NOT my problem anymore!! Right?

Anyway, I was thinking about that "Things I don't get" thread earlier tonight. One thing that I just don't get is, why, when you are trying your darndest to get things done, stuff just doesn't cooperate??? Okay, I am trying to hang up my clean laundry...you would think that the hangers would cooperate, but NO, they have to hang up on everything BUT where I want them to hang. And when I re-vaccuumed the floor, you'd think that the cords would cooperate, NO, they have to get caught on everything and hold up the works! It seems like it never fails, I am always tripping on the stuff I am using to help me get stuff done! Oh, well!

Well, I hope that everyone else has had a good evening and a good Friday before Christmas! I hope that you all sleep well tonight! And get more that 3 hrs!!! (yes, that means you, Traci!!) I will check in with you all later when I get a chance from work.

Good morning Amy...

Yes I know all about trying to get those last minute things done. Usually Murphy's Law is in full swing in those times!

I woke up again at 2:45 but I believe I did snooze a little between then and when my alarm went off at 4:00. I feel pretty good so I probably got what I needed.

We are on the homestretch gang. I weighed this morning and measured and am up again probably due to the HIGH FAT lunch I had yesterday and don't forget all that lovely sugar in the cheesecake! I am not worried about it. This is once a year, this week, and I've decided I will struggle the rest of the year but not this week. I am mitigating the damage though with keeping up with my workouts and eating clean today and tomorrow. Sunday and Monday I'm not tracking but will be mindful of that I'm putting in my mouth but not running to my tracker every time I pop something in my mouth. Life is too short and I have from January to Thanksgiving to track and worry about every bite that goes in my mouth.

How that for rationalizing!

Happy Official First Day of Winter! Our texas weather actualy dropped below 78 degrees yesterday in honor of this fine occasion!

I have a legs/Back/Abs triad from P90 on tap today.... feeling a bit lethargic... pms starting combined w/ a little low I always feel not being around my family at holiday.... DH working a ton of hours so its pretty much me and furry kids trying to stay in holiday spirit. I really think I am also "missing" that little high because of not baking breads & cookies for allthe friends and service people. I didnt want to do it because I knew I'd eat it so I guess I just made a choice that I am now not all that happy with. I may just venture out and get a few things to bake and give away today & tomorrow. Anyway... I am not a down in the mouth kinda girl so I will flip this around!

AMY: LOL- You accomplished a ton the past few days...Kudos! Hope mom & dad arrive safe & sound! As far as delegated toilets... if you're like me you WILL stress about it all day... you'll start to nag... and right before leaving for work you'll just do it yourself because deep down you want them nice & clean for parents and you really dont believe it will get done!:+ I always think... If the toilets arent cleand (Dh's job too)is company going to see it and think that awful DH? No- they'll say I cant believe Tracy has dirty toilets..LOLOLOL The female obsession I suppose.

JANE:Cant wait to dig into those the B&G mixes.. they sound incredible! Congrats on the party eating victory... High 5! I think your thoughts about food/tracking etc.. are VERY HEALTHY! We work out so hard- do so much w/ changing habits all year I agree that to obsess when its family time is a bit sad. If eating sweets etc.. is part of what makes us feel like its christmas I personnaly see nothing nothing wrong with that! Last year this time I was 15 pounds heavier and on the way UP... I am very proud of all my lifestyle changes this year so I too am relaxed about it all. Thanks for being a voice of reason!

CHERYL: Off til New Year- HOORAY! So what big plans do you have for yourself???? 130 - Goodness girl I'm doing happy dances for you! INCREDIBLE feeling isnt it?... Whats your goal wt?

TEDDYGIRL: What an agenda you had on yesterday! So organized... I need to hire you! Hope it all got done without a hitch...

LORI: I am so sorry about your horrid ttom! I just cannot fathom having a migraine and having to proceed w/ all of lifes demands. Hang in there hopefully you'll be feeling fabulous by Xmas Day. Had to LOL on how I function on so little sleep- Well it takes its toll after awhile.... I am blessed to need 5-7 hours to function at high capacity so 3hrs a few nights a week isnt as bad for me as others... Its all about hormones for me! Gotta do what you gotta do! I guess I thank the heavens that its only 2 weeks a month I get like this...so many women suffer 100% of the time.

CLAUDE: I am envious of your hub-bub going on this weekend... I could use major distractions like that right before the big day! Can I come and play chef/hostess? I work cheap! I wouldnt worry too much about WT gain ... you'll be running so hard that you'll be working out plenty! Have a fabulous time and know I send you love & hugs for your holiday!

Morning,

TGIF YEAH! after today, I’ll be off work until Wednesday did I hear someone say REST, you bet

Yesterday, was fabulous, I did everything as plan, workout last night was scrambled eggs, while clothes was in dryer. After, a hot bubble bath and it felted great our water was X hot and that's not always the case when your living in a appartment.

Went to JC Penny and boy did I get some nice gifts saved a few pennies too, so first thing when I got to work came in and ordered Cathe’s Calendar. I figured I better I’d hate to pay full price + shipping Also, I got my email, I’ll be receiving LIC Tues, can’t wait. I got home around 10:45 last night boy was I pooped. Took sleeping aid and off into a sleep I went. I heard the alarm going off this morning, but I let it buzz and buzz for about 30 minutes before I got up and shut the dog gone thing off, my buzzer is loud too. I laid back down turned on TV a caught the news.

For my workout tonight hm....let’s see. I’m thinking good old Imax 1(1-6) and B&G leg blast HELLO!! Now, that sounds like a good combination too me. Yeah… I like. I probably end up doing the whole Imax workout I can’t never seem to stop, once I start it. I tell ya, I have so much fun with all the Imaxes, and too, I haven’t done one in a while, well guys back too work, I check in later to read everyone post, ttys. Hopefully, we’re out of here early today, keep fingers crossed

Good Morning everyone...you are all such a happy group, it is very uplifting! My migraine just does not want to completely go away. It is just lurking there every time I turn my head. Yes, it has been one of the worst TOTM's I have had in awhile. I could eat 40 points a day. My stomach just growls and growls no matter what I put in it! The important thing is, I have not just let it all go & binged. I am just trying to keep eating, and little things at a time. Now, I have to go lay back down. I think I will wait and workout tomorrow, today I will rest. Hopefully this thing will be gone tomorrow. I have that echocardiogram today too, I hope that goes well.

Hi, everyone!

Great to read the posts from such a happy and uplifting group this morning!

Amy, sorry the cords, vacuum, hangers haven't cooperated - but hope you're through the worst of it now!

Jane - Sounds like your plan is a good one for the rest of the holidays.

Claude - wow, you're a busy lady - hope everything's going smoothly!

Traci - Yes, I'm doing the happy dance. I've just hit 10% bodyweight lost with the 130... WW goal is 125... ultimate goal is 120 and then see what I think. When I ran my best marathon, I weighed 112 and was 10% bodyfat. I loved how the 10% looked on my legs and core, but I didn't have as much muscle as I have now... that's why I'm holding judgement on the ultimate goal until I get to 120 and see what I think. Am loving the better fit of my clothes.

Great experience this morning - I've been working out in long pants for the past three or so months due to the winter... this morning out of the blue I pulled out shorts and was delighted to see how much my legs have changed from 2 1/2 months of Cathe and 5% bf gone. Yayy! Happy day! Christmas is here

I did Boot Camp this morning. Just right for an hour, and one of my all time favorites!

Have a great afternoon, everyone!
Cheryl

Hi all!!!

Sounds like everyone is well into the holiday spirit.

I'm just trying to maintain here; not too much hope of losing this week. I'm going to track everything even it I go over my points because if I don't I'll just go hogwild and I don't want to do that.

We had our holiday lunch at my firm. Someone brought in a baked ziti which was really good. I limited myself to one small portion. Had some angel food cake and 1 cookie and salad. All and all could have been worse. I'm going out for sushi tonite. Shouldn't be too bad but I will have wine. I earned about 6 AP's from my morning workout but I don't think that will cover everything.

Ok weekend, here I come!!!!

I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I'll not be around until probably Tuesday. I have soooo much to do tomorrow (all here at home though)!! I'll not be out with the poor people trying to shop two days before Christmas!!

I have my baking to do which has gotten sidelined time and again. Good thing though, it will not be a temptation for long since I plan on unloading it at my MIL's on Christmas eve day and my daddy's on Christmas day.

I'll talk to y'all next week.

Hello all!

Well, my parents made it in today around 3:45 this afternoon. It was great seeing them. I had to laugh though, because they unloaded their car while I worked out and I got the distinct feeling that Dad wasn't used to seeing me in that frame! I was also surprised with all the stuff they unloaded. It was like they were moving it, they brought so much! They were also enlightening me on all the homemade goodies they brought. I have decided that I will stick to the working out, but I think that with the eating "come what may!"

I hope that you all had a good evening and I will "see" you in the morning!
