ME! Hi all, its me, Deb. I have been meaning to come back on and post but I must admitt I have been embarressed. I did great this fall and lost 8 pounds with WW and then with the holiday season aproaching, and my focusing on school I kind of let things go and well..........you know the rest. I regained the 8 pounds, plus one and have not exercised one bit. Last night I rejoined WW and started counting my points today. Unfortunatly we got hit with this snow and everyone has been home. My problem with this cold weather all I want to do is eat the cookies and stuff. So today has been a challenge. I managed 35 minutes of exercise and I was really huffing and puffing when done.

I finished school on the 17th of this month, yippie! I passed but not sure of my actual grade is yet. Holidays were crazy here, I had the inlaws here for Christmas eve, the entire family here for Christmas day, I had a huge adult cocktail party the Saturday after Christmas (about 60 people), and then Katie's 10 birthday the day after that. Like I said things were busy. I am working this week while Bill's mom is away on vacation. Giving him a hand at the shop. Plan to work around the house on a few projects for the month of Feb and hope to start looking for part time work come March. Well that does it for me. I hope to pop in and out as much as possible, hope its ok.

Of course you're welcome back, Deb! Glad you're back so I will have someone to discuss WW things with sometimes. Glad you and your family had a nice Christmas. Your parties sounded fun & yes, I can hardly resist cookies, myself! Know what you mean about gaining back lbs.! I did gain some, although, thankfully, I didn't get back up to what I was this time last year! Horrors! This Thanksgiving/Christmas I would like to just ignore the goodies. I hope I remember how hard it is to lose the weight before I dig in to the goodies. No more foregoing the food journaling for me, even during the holidays!

I'm not going to meetings as I can't afford them, but am journaling & counting points. That is what keeps me honest on food intake. Otherwise, I sit around thinking, "How come I'm not losing any lbs. when I'm eating healthy & working out?" For me to lose weight, I have to cut down, not just eat healthy.

Congratulations on finishing school? What plans do you have for spring? Are you still going to Curves? One opened up in Longview.

Hurray! Welcome back! Believe me you can't possibly be doing any worse than I am. I told them at the last chat that I am an embarrassment to the board with my lack of exercise and so-so eating lately.

Welcome back! What a hectic, but fun, season you've had. Glad to hear from you again. And belated birthday wishes to Katie. Does she do any riding during the winter?

Having fun in the snow? We've had light snowfall all day, and it's a little slick walking; don't know about driving, but I'll be able to figure that out when I see how late DH is in picking me up tonight. I'd rather he be late and safe than prompt. Besided, Starbucks is right across the street from the train station, and a decaf, grande, non-fat, no-whip (ok, you forced me, I'll have the whipped cream) peppermint mocha is sounding awfully nice.

Hugggsss,

Donna

Good to see you back Deb...You are always welcomed back! You are not the only one who gained weight back over the holidays. New year and new beginning.


Good for you to start back at WW. It will get easier when the kids are back in school and we aren't trapped in with the snow and ice.


Don't forget to let me know when you want to meet for lunch. I am more than ready.

OK? Absolutely it's OK! I was wondering how you were doing. Welcome back!

It sounds like your holidays were pretty much like everyone else's around here. Busy busy busy! But it also sounds like you are on the road to getting back on track. Good luck with WW and good job on the workout!

Congrats on finishing school. I'm sure you did just fine.

Hugs,

Lori

Welcome back...and I don't know too many who were saints during the holiday eating season!!! Even my super thin watch their figure friends indulged right along with me.
