And just in case any of my other motivational friends are lurking out there...HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! But we expect you back here and not just January 1st with your tails between your legs (tho that's OK too...I'm such a softy....)

Hi Hope

I am here as well! Just waiting on a couple of my kids to show up for the opening of presents. Ate some oatmeal for breakfast - trying to keep the snacking down for later as I will be cooking turkey and all the fixins today.

Had a little walk with the dog this am. Didn't go far, My husband was with me and he has some physical problems and can't go far.

Your meal plan sounds yummy!

Robin

Hi Robin, so glad you're here! I think it's great you walked no matter how far (both DH and I have physical problems but a little walk is better than none) and you are trying to keep your diet in line too. Great job!!! Enjoy your time with the kids!!!

Yeah, I am going to try with the plan, failed miserably yesterday but today is a new day. I am trying to work around my planned indulgences. Considering there is a whole bunch of chocolate cupcakes in my kitchen that DD and her friends baked, it's gonna be tough...it's a landmine in there LOL!!!

It's -14 degrees. But the sun is shining. The dog will pester us til she is walked. Good motivator!

Just checking in to let y'all know I'm still logging! I just don't want to look at the results! Ok, for Monday:

Cholesterol: 319, not too bad...
Exercise: 45 mins
Calories: 2462!!!

I'll try to remember everything I eat later today, but I know all numbers will be over the top! Will have to try to work it off later in the week.

Good luck to everyone!

- Donna

Donna, you're still here and logging!!! That alone is an accomplishment and you're doing great with the cholesterol and exercise.

Robin, I keep telling DH we need a dog. Here is yet another good reason.

:eek: did you borrow Mern's whip?

Ooh, I hope Mike doesn't have my whip or else he'll use it on ME!

Nine of us at my house for Christmas breakfast today. I was NOT good.

Back on the wagon tomorrow, logging, and reporting--and that's a promise. :)

Wishing everyone a wonderful day.

Yes I did. Be scared. Be veeeeeeeery scared.
