Mike,
Another great game for the Saints! The Saints should do like the Packers did today and run 4 of their second string to tighten up the score a little! LOL Did I mention that I think I'm in FIRST place?? I only called one game incorrectly today! Woohoo!! There are going to be 19 men that are going to hate me! Never underestimate the power of a blonde who knows sports!

Something wonderful: I learned yesterday that a friend of mine in her mid 60's seems to be significantly improved in her memory loss that was really debilitating to the point of being dangerous. Long story short: three years ago her doctor prescribed a medication for her INDIGESTION that is intended to relieve MENSTRUAL CRAMPS. (Sorry, Mike. ) A common side effect of that medication in senior citizens age IS memory loss. She's been routinely overdosing on it because it didn't help her indigestion and she wouldn't remember that she had already taken two or three doses in the past hour or so. She had a mild stroke a few weeks ago and was staying with her daughter who caught her accidentally overdosing. A visiting nurse caught the prescription error. She's now off that medication and taking over-the-counter antacid that works just fine.

Cassie, great job on your goals yesterday!

Cassie The party was fun most of my dd friends have little kids running around so they had a ball with noise makers and sparklers we actually celebrated New York City’s ball drop for them so it was 9 here but they were none the wiser. My dd doesn’t drink so most of her friends without kids moved on to bars before midnight which left the loud but fun friends of my son’s and I chuckled when you mentioned your son singing I’m to sexy as we got to see drunk men doing the wiggle wiggle it was so wrong but yet so stupid you had to laugh. Good job on eating right and still getting in some party time I will be on track tomorrow no more excuses.

Mern Thanks I lost 60lbs but then put allot back on when life gets stressful I eat and I really struggle with people noticing how I look so I am really trying to work on the mental issues this time not just the food ones so hopefully this time it will stick, plus I have a support system this time thanks to all of you. I am really excited about hubby getting on board but I don’t want to be to in his face about it either so I am really trying to figure out the best way to be encouraging without being annoying. Nice green day for you!! I am glad someone caught your friend’s mistake with the drugs and that she will recover from the memory loss.

Tori Glad to hear you sounding more your happy self today. Hope you didn’t love those shoes because they are gone now, yuck. Good job on losing weight during the holidays I am envious but still happy for you.

Mike Wow want to come clean my yard and garage when you’re done.

Pam I am not a real resolution person but I also need to refocus my energy into my career since I have been off work for 6 months it’s time to get back to work.

Lisa Welcome great goals.

Mh Congratulations on your triathlon acceptance. Good job on your run today. Thanks for the definitions the SO I didn’t know.

Msclark Welcome. I use custom foods a lot so I go forward a day log everything in my salad then turn it into a custom food I am very routine with my food so this works for me I always eat tomato and sunflower seeds in my salad with raspberry dressing so it saves me time having it as one food.

Quinn Nice job on kicking the men’s butt's in your football pool!

Today wasn’t horrible but I did get company so a couple glasses of wine and some meat and cheese put me at 1540c. I enjoyed it as my head was saying you are so done, I think tomorrow will be an easy bounce back I took Quinn’s advice from earlier this week and everything that the kid’s didn’t want to take to their rooms got garbaged so no more looking at candy in dishes or leftovers every time I open the fridge. I have a hike planned and a busy day taking down the tree and all the other decorations. I took out the chicken for dinner and made the salad tonight so hopefully I have set myself up for a great Monday. Have a nice night.

As I promised -- for those of you who asked, I'll share later about what the dietician is working on with me. I had 1 visit, and have another time scheduled. My labs are out of whack. Before starting on meds, I want another blood drawn completed. Low thyroid levels & high triglycerides are NOT good! I've heart & diabetes prevelant in my family on my mother's & father's side.

As far as walking goes --- I do variety. I love to have variety. I walked this last week to the library with my daughter (about 15" one way). I paced in my house. Sometimes I use Leslie Sansone's walking DVDs. My parent's offered use of their treadmill. I used to do hiking when younger, but don't feel up to it just yet. (Not real serious, but when I lived in Kentucky would take little hikes). I want to be able to do more of hiking & to learn to ski, skate & swim better.

Thanks, Mern; congrats on an awesome day yourself! Such good news about your friend...with an easy fix. Who'd have thought?

Luv, thanks for sharing about where you are. I hope that you're able to get things resolved soon, with healthy eating and exercise.

Darlene, what is New Year's if not for loud and fun, right? It sounds like your party was in two shifts and went on all night, lol. I know it feels like a relief to get that stuff out of the house! Enjoy that clean feeling of being back on track, and enjoy your hike! I have no time for one today, and our 65* weather has plummeted to the 30s, so I'm not eager to get up the mountain today, as they say. I admire your commitment to go in rain and cold when called for!

Quinn, congrats! Did you end up in first? I've a friend who took first in his league and posted it last night. Congrats on using your noggin. I don't know too much about football; baseball, yes, tennis, yes...I'm just happy the Ravens pulled it out yesterday. My niece posted a Facebook photo yesterday of the dads and their babies lined up on the couch...3 in Ravens jerseys and shirts were smiling and one in a Bengals sweatshirt, not so much! Good times.

Today I think I'm going to make a huge pot of chicken veggie soup, since our temperature has dipped so drastically. I may attempt homemade noodles like my grandmother used to do. I found a good recipe using whole wheat flour and I've already got the board out from homemade pizza last night. I can remember going to visit her and seeing them drying all over her kitchen. Ah, another one of those food-as-memories moments !

So, on to some goals, back to basics!

1. Calorie limit 1300.
2. Balance pie chart.
3. 25g fiber.
4. 4-5 fruits and veggies.
5. 2 sports bottles of water.
6. Exercise 6 times.
7. Take vitamins and supplements.
8. Shoulder exercises every day.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
