What's Happening Monday???
Suggestion for taking vitamins. . .
If either of these can be done. . .
I send myself notifications on my outlook at work to take the vitamins in the morning and afternoon. . . while I know you are not on computer for work, it might at least get your a.m. vites in. . . then keep them where you will see 'em for afternoon/evening dose.. .
other idea, if you have a cell phone and it has a calendar, you can set it to alert you to take your vitamins. . .
All tools that can be used to help aid us.

Good morning Candy and OFF,
Thankfully, you made it home safely....I would have freaked, slipping and sliding like that. Drivers like me do not belong on slippery roads - lol
I just took a break from work and will start back up here shortly. It's bitter cold and windy. Brrrrr.
Saturday, I went to a really great support group meeting at Barix in Langhorne, PA. It was a two-hour drive for me to get there, but so worth it. The meeting was 4 hours long and probably one of the more "feeling" type support groups I've been to. I got to meet Laureen in person, and what a delight. I'm going to try and get back again next month.
Well, I'd better get back to work. Enjoy your day everyone! Prayers going up for all of my OFF friends.

Good Morning Candy and the rest of you. It is cold here in NC too. Thankfully the wind died down some.
Went out shopping yesterday while waiting for son to arrive. I bought my first pair of size 4 jeans. 4...still can't believe it. A yr ago I was wearing size 24. What a year it has been.
I bought my husband a gym membership for Christmas. He has been going regularly. I am so glad. I really hope he continues. I know how great it has made me feel.
Well, light day at work today but tomorrow it should be back to full force. I work on a Marine base. They don't come bac****il 1600 today. I will be gone by then.
My hard drive on my work computer died last week. I lost all of my files since they no longer allow us to use thumb drives. What a PITA. ugh. It could be worse. I could be out of this job that gives me so much angst. lol

My body does not define who I am but I am trying to define my body. It gets easier with every pound I drop.

Hi Candy and all my OFF Friends,
I was a slug the whole weekend. High winds, snowing all day and low temperatures was my excuse. I was a TV zombie even though I had projects I could have worked on. I think I needed the downtime though. Going out to get lunch and stop at the grocery store for milk. I wrote down everything I'm going to eat for today. I've been blowing it for so long that the hunger pains are really bothering me. I need to tough it out so I can get this weight off. I have been drinking my water too. I went back to my old habits and know what I need to do to make the correction. I'm really struggling with exercise. I just do not want to go outside. I'm cold everywhere I go. Even though I have a free gym in the next building at work, it is a windy cold walk to get over there. I need to suck it up don't I.
We are going new car shopping next week if it clears. We are supposed to get a break this week. No more snow expected until Friday. I wish the wind would die down.
The birds at our feeder are ravenous. My favorite are the Juncos. We only see them in winter. We've had a nice fire going in the fireplace since New Years. We have one of those efficient wood stove inserts with a blower in it. That is why I don't want to leave the living room when I'm home.
Well I've blathered on long enough. Stay warm everyone. Prayers to those that need them. Be careful driving. I hope the new year brings better health to you all.

Good Afternoon Candy & OFF friends!
Have not been here in a few days, so let me say that I wish the year 2010 to be one that brings all of you more blessings than struggles and hope that what challenges you must deal with are met with the knowledge that we are a community of caring folk here who lend an ear and a kind word, which while often enough is not necessarily going to be the solution, it helps me to know that you all are listening and care and I hope it helps you to know that while I don't necessarily respond to all your posts, I read them and keep you all in my prayers and positive thoughts list. . .
Candy, glad you made it home safely and I love the snow, but then again, I don't live anywhere we get too much of it, so it's easy to love. . . so glad you are soon embarking on yet another chapter of the Thelma & Louise saga, can't wait to hear what that trip brings to light ;) Hoping to meet up with some of you gals later in the year ;)
The cold has been biting and I don't mind the cold, but would much appreciate these winds blowing the heck outta here. Tony was all layered up for tailgating and the Jets game last night, whose idea was it to play football in such cold temps at night? But he said that it is the game fans wait all season to be at, I'm just happy the Jets won it and he can say he was there, had a great time and made a good memory with his buddies and OUR team still has a good shot, hoping that they can beat the Bengals in like fashion next week. . .
Anyway, I've been in a sort of funky mood the last few days, mostly just a pity party due to my own lack of enthusiasm about my diet and exercise regime, which went by the wayside a few months back and more recently the food choices were poor and the scale has gone up and up and I am saying that I finally got off my lazy butt and put it in gym gear and this morning at 6 I was there working on what needs working and making better food choices too! Past weekend was my monthy Barix support leadership group and I showed up at the pre-meeting, despite my best attempts at coming up with a good reason not to go, and there I spilled the beans about how I was so disappointed in myself, what I got was a good dose of love and support and 5 hours later, when all was said and done, I was smiling and feeling that there was still hope to change the things I can and so today I begin again. It also helps to know that I am not alone, as others have had their share of struggles though the holiday season.
Roxie continues to be a great joy and she just cracks me up with her antics, the energy and her sweet disposition are nice, I had 13 people for NYE and she was very well behaved and oh well, I have relaxed within my rules of no furniture and sleeping in my bed (lol), which most people knew I would, but I do not allow her on the furniture when people are around. . . Well I guess that about sums things up.
Hugs, Laureen

Here I am bring up the rear, so to speak! I've been sick since 6 a.m. this morning when I got sick to my stomach....went back to bed until 8 then had to scurry around to make it to work at 9.....felt okay but tummy was grumbling all morning. Came home and had a bit of cottage cheese and some saltine crackers, tried to watch Y & R, but kept falling asleep - so went on the bed and slept for 4 hrs - would have been even longer except the phone woke me up.
Tonite is support group, but I called and asked one of the other gals if she would lead it for me......I just don't feel right, am chilly, but no fever, and besides it's snowing like crazy again! I'm in my nightie and robe and soon will be in the recliner covered up with the afghan. Don't work tomorrow, so hopefully I can get over this bug.
Went to a lovely dinner party last evening (should have stayed home)
but it was our book club Christmas party....I ate shrimp ****tail, and hardly any of the other delicious meal.....it just wouldn't go down....most of it was not WLS friendly....don't think anything there caused this, because I didn't feel all that great before I went.
Our roads are a mess, they can't afford to get the plows out often and people are absolutely nuts with their driving!!!
Ok, I'm done -- gotta go get warm.

Done! Your Ticker:
Hi Candy and OFF'ers!
How ya all doing? I'm really bringing up the rear but oh well!
We got snow during the night and off and on during the day. Its cold here too and the snow is the light fluffy kind. Of course I didn't shovel but may do some tomorrow. Thursday this week I am taking off. Our church has dinners once a month for anyone in the commuity that wants to eat. Free. I am making chili for 200. I bought all the rest of the ingrediants tonight, having no real clue if I really have enough or not but suspect I do. Fortunately there are 4 roaster ovens at church that we can use. I will brown the meat up Wed evening and I bought chopped onions (whew! thats one job I don't like too well), have to slice and chop the peppers and celery yet though. The other lady cooking with me is making a poultry sandwich. I can't say it is chicken, although it has some chicken in it, and it also has turkey-more turkey then chicken so we'll call it a poultry sandwich! I went to Gordons to get the foodstuffs.
I started anew again today too. I have been eating way too many things I shouldn't be eating. I can tell when my sugar goes up with sweets and it went up several times the past few weeks, fortunately it didn't crash either, but it should have and I should have learned my lesson, but that's another story. BAH!
That' my piece and I'm sticking to it, oh guess what? I found out today that I got an A on my class I took. HA. Not sure when I will take the next one or what it will be yet. I am thinking about switching universities. I like the school but want a more secular one. Now I really am done!
