Welcome to Wacky Weigh In Wednesday!

Good Morning Everyone,

Today brings work and the office luncheon.  It is my Friday.......................................WOO TO THE FRICKIN HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Sorry for being so excited, I could just really use some time off right now. 

Well, today I am happy to report that my scale is being nice.  I got on it Monday and did not like the number (although it was a loss and a good number).  I thought to myself "this can't be right".  So I moved my scale over a bit just to make sure it was level, same number.  Hmmmm, all I could think was that the stupid battery must be going out, yet I did not receive an error message.
Today I got on and it was 1 lb less than Monday.  I did not question or weigh again I just went with it.

So for today, I am happy to report  a loss of 4 lbs. for the WWW.  

Merry Christmas to me.... a year ago I was at 321 lbs.  Consult weight was 304 and today is 230.  In a year I have lost a total of 91 lbs. and I feel just awsome, loving the compliments, and the way clothes feel.  I need to take several pairs of pants in to be altered as I am not going to spend more $$ right now on clothes.  I did this in October and they can be altered and hang around a while longer.

I am ready for Santa.  Wish I had made some tamales this year but no time so I will make Menudo as we are going to need it Christmas Morning.

Wishing everyone a Blessed Holiday Season.

Morning Barb and Cali crew!
Well, it is REALLY official!!  Since today is WWW, I can say I'm down 1.8 lbs for the week and officially recording the 100 lbs loss....whoooo hooooooy!!!  I can't believe the scale has stayed at under 100 lbs.lost for 3 days..I usually shoot myself in the foot when I get close to a goal that I really want to reach.  Something about 'success' and not feeling 'deserving'??  Dumb dumb dumb!!!!!

Since we are getting close to the Greatest Day EVER, Christ's Birthday, I want to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR, just in case any of you are AWOL over the next few days.  May Santa be good to you by overlooking all the 'naughty' times this past year and only concentrate on the 'GOOD, Loving' times instead ^_^  And May GOD BLESS each and everyone of you!!
Hugs

Good Morning Barb and all of California,

Not much going on here.  Just another day closer to a long weekend and I sure am looking forward to it.

I got a nice surprise the other day which I forgot to mention.  For the last day of Chanukah Mike's mom had him go out and buy me a beautiful white gold necklace that I had been wanting.  I wanted something white gold with a small charm hanging on it and they picked out an abstract of a mother and child.  It's really pretty and is perfect for me.  Made  Chanukah special.  I don't really celebrate the Jewish holidays as the whole religion thing is just so not me, so having Mike and his mom remember me makes it that much more special.

Now it is on to celebrating Christmas for him and my son's girlfriend.  It will be a lovely day at my son's apartment.  We'll do more presents then, when we can all get together.  Anyday we can all get together is always special.

So a Happy Chanukah to all my Jewish friends and a Merry Christmas to all my Christian friends.  Hope everyone has a great day.  Enjoy yourself.

That is awesome Stephanie. My dad was Jewish, but we never celebrated the holidays. He did claim the heritage tho and was very proud of it. Even tho modern day religion states that a child get their religion through the mother, in Biblical times the child got their religion from the father, so I claim the Jewish heritage. I lost my dad in 1997 and I wear his Star of David out of honor for him. Unfortunately, my chain broke about a week ago and I haven't been able to wear the Star or afford to replace the chain. It usually never comes off except for xrays or surgery.

I'm not sure how modern or ancient it is, but in the Jewish religion the child's religion was always based on the mother's religion as maternity was proven while paternity could not be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.  So with my son, for instance, as I am Jewish but his father his not, like me, he has a Jewish birth certificate with no questions asked and if either of us chose to go to Israel we'd have automatic citizenship.  Now my niece, who was adopted, had to go through a conversion ceremony as an infant in order to become Jewish.  Crazy stuff if you ask me.  That is pretty much why I don't get into the religious thing anyway.  My feeling is, if you believe in the theory of the one God of Abraham, I don't think he/she much cares how we get to him/her so long as we follow the 10 commandments and do good for others.  Just my opinion.

Stephanie

Couldn't say it any better myself, Stephanie!!  Am wishing you and Mike a joyous Holiday and a wonderful day spent with your son and his girlfriend ^_^  I think it is wonderful that you have 'married' the 2 holidays together...and you both celebrate them together.  That is PRICELESS!

Thank you Nancy and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family.  It's the season of families as far as I'm concerned.  It's just a time, no matter what your religion, to remember those that you love and spend time with them and to reflect on the past year and prepare for the new year ahead.

My scale is obviously broken!  It hasn't moved in months. 

I am proud to announce I am finally down 3 of the 6 pounds I gained while on the Trail Mix Binge.  Go figure.........get rid of the trail mix, get rid of the 6 pounds.  Hmmmmm, are we seeing a correlation here? 

I've been up since 5 when that vampire crack ho I'm married to woke me up.  He's up all night long doing not much of nuthin and then sleeps all day.  I get up, wor****il 3 and then work my sorry ass off until 10 at night trying to get things ready for all this company.  Well, he woke me up to deal with,..........puppy poop.  He just had to make me get up and help him clean it up.  Nothing said from him about how I've cleaned it up twice a day for the last week.  Nooooooo,   About 10 minutes into this, I let his sorry ass have it with both barrels.  The shocked look on his face said it all.  He never thought about doing it all himself and letting his precious wife sleep.  Well, he's about to find out a sleep deprived over worked wife is a *****!!!!   Unless he humbles himself and pays major pennance.

Today is more work, and after work I'm shopping at Costco and then cleaning my house.  I think I'll be done after that.  A few more packages to wrap and done.

My hubby keeps asking me what I want for Christmas and I keep telling him either a new bed or a new 15 speed mountain bike.  Apparently it's not what he wants to hear so he keeps asking again.  If I tell him a new rifle he'll remember.  The man, as much as I love and adore him, has a one track mind!

Ok, that's it for me.  Back to work.Vitamins are in, water's going in and dancing at my desk (have to to keep warm, the heater's broken again.).  It was 51 degrees in here this morning!

Ask him for a new double barreled shot gun and ask that it be wrapped in a festive box springs and mattress..lol
