Good Morning Girls. Ok, today is the start of the challenge. Hope everyone is up for it. I'm almost ready. This is a hard time of the y but I'm just going to have to learn to slap my hand when I go to reach for something. One thing I'm going to do is hold off on my baking. Usually by now I'm making Cookies. That's just going to have to wait. So good luck to you if you are doing this challenge. Hang in there. Angela, Poor Tuffi, Hope it's just that all the food was too rich for that little tummy. I will keep Tuffi in my prayers. Hi Michelle, you guys getting ready for your big trip? We had so much fun that day. I felt like I was a young girl again. It brought back so many memories of when I was younger and our dad would take us. Have a blast. Today is our day to work at the hospital and I'm really excited. We haven't worked since right before the surgery. So it's going to feel good to be back there. Have a great day and hope you have success today with the challenge.

Shar, have you been getting our emails. I hope you know that we have all moved.

Hey. Wanted to post a reminder that starting tomorrow we are starting our challenge. From Dec. 1st to the 30th. We will try to lose weight. You can set an amount if you want, the idea is to just get thru the holidays without gaining anything. So, Good luck. Bitterly cold here today and we had some snow flurries. The sun is supposed to come out in a few hours. But the tems will still stay down. Brrrrrr.

Hey Debbie, glad to see you finally got to post. I hope things are going well for you. Not much going on here, usual daily stuff. Ginna try to get my personnal taxes paid today, well maybe. Have a good one.

I'm not a violent person so I won''t be able to do that for you Tracy. You think Plain might be up to it. Or he may like it to much. lol.

Debbie, so glad you had a good T-day And that you also got to bring some leftovers home. That's the one bad thing about not having it at your place, no leftovers to snack on later in the day. My sister brought stuff home from the dinner they went to and it was really good. Just wish she wouldn't have brought the 2 pies home. LOL. Hopefully it won't take long for you to come over to the other site. Untill then we are having a challenge. Our challenge is to lose weight during the holidays. Starting Dec. 1st. thru the 30th. the goal is to lose weight. It doesn't matter how much, you can set your own goal like maybe 4 pounds. It's going to be tough to do with all the goodies of the holiday but I know it can be done. I did it the first year I was banded. We had a great football weekend in our house. All of our teams won. We are enjoying it while it last. Cold today and they are now calling for a major storm towards next weekend. Should be our first chance at a major snow fall. Have a great day.

Debbie, so glad to finally hear from you. I was really getting worried. That was such a nice compliment from the singer. Pat yourself on the back. Today I getting a few things done. Only a few more things to do but I'm taking a break right now and watching "Julie & Julia". What a really cute movie. Hubby just went in to take a nap so all quiet here. He'll be back to football soon enough. Michelle, I hope you guys have a great time at Disneyland. I know we did back in Sept. Take lots of pics. Back to my movie.

I'm here Cindy. I'll stay as long as it takes.

I went over to the other site and posted. I love the lay out. No adds on the side. Love it. What's on the agenda for tomorrow??? Michelle, your dd doing any better? I hope so.

I found it and posted. Added it to my favorites. Now I can float back and forth.

Kat, I pm'd you about 5 days ago and you have never answered. I'm taking it that you didn't get it. That's ok, nothing important. I was chatting about the conversation we had on FB. I may just call you tomorrow at home. I tried to figure out how to start a thread over there. I'll still work on it. Poor Debbie. That really pisses me off. Like she doesn't have enough of a hard time manuvering her way thru here. Tracy, tell her I miss her and hope we get to chat with her soon. Ashley, how about a bird's nest or something like that in the bare spot. Or get a small bush of poinsettia to stick in there. I bet the fluffing would really help with that though. I agree, I hate to fluff also.

Saw this on another thread. Alex posted it. Hope it helps anyone that needs it. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/index.php?app=core&module=help

Good Morning Girls, My two days of laziness are over with. Back to work this morning. It's only a 3 hour shift but I have to get up and move. And on top of it, it's really cold here this morning. Brrrrrrr. Jenn, you amaze me. You've gotten so involved with the FD. I've seen them all dressed up in their outfits and that seems like such a chore to just put all that stuff on, let alone have to move around in it. How do they kneel down and get back up??? Hope your dd gets to feeling better soon. Michelle, Did you guys just have a storm or getting ready to have one. Supposedly it is headed this way. Not sure how much precip we are supposed to get. They aren't sure if we will get rain or snow yet. The Weather people are saying our first measurable amount of snow will be Dec. 4th. Oh great, not only is that the day that hubby is being accepted into church but it is also our 28th wedding anniversary. So right now we are not making any plans for dinner yet. We will wait and see what goes on. I'm holding out hope that the bad weather will hold off for a day or two. Kat and Tracy. I haven't talked to Janie in a very long time. I've been thinking about her alot here lately. Think I will give her a call and see if she wants to meet up in Columbia. The last 2 years we have done that in November and did shopping while we were there. I feel like such a heal for not calling her to do it this year. Time has just gotten away from me. She is just one of the sweetest people I have met in a long time. Have a great day everyone and I will check in later today.

Well, I did it. I ate a piece of Pecan Pie. And it was wonderful. In the last week since my surgery I managed to lose 4 pounds, I hope I haven't put to much of a dent into that. But it was so good. Hubby's home town high school went to the State Finals for football this evening. They played in the Dome in St. Louis and with 16 seconds left in the game they scored a TD and won the game. We got to watch it on TV. It was a lot of fun to watch though. I kept looking at the crowd to see if I saw any of his cousins there. Cindy, glad to hear you are home and your mother also. I will still keep her in my prayers. That was so nice of your husband to fix a meal for you, how sweet. Tracy, I would start the thread but I don't know how to do it. Homie thread is fine with me.
