November 2012 Weight Loss Adventure with a Prize
#121
After my Thanksgiving weekend I am filing for a divorce from my scale. Things are not good on the scale. I ate everything. I am now back on the wagon.

I like Cindy's picture of setting the scale back ten pounds.
I have been out shoveling snow for the first time, which is actually late. It's a wet, heavy snow so hopefully I burned a few calories. The white/red dog, a Siberian mix loves and the little black Border Collie mix doesn't notice.
Now I can think about Christmas shopping. Some of us Northerners need snow to Christmas shop. I hope the Black Friday shoppers left a few things though I know Home Depot is out of a lantern I wanted for my son. My list is a page and half long on a legal pad because these 'guys' just keep getting married and having children.
I ate too much on Thanksgiving, but no thirds. - Oh, oh, the apple dessert after I came home. Well, almost no thirds. Apples, cinnamon, sour cream, butter. What's not to like. My weight is where is started this month. Can I lose two pounds in the next few days?
I'm putting the binding on a Spicy Spiral. I think I will sew this one by hand. The other machine has an apron still on it and there is a mystery quilt waiting in the wings. I am NOT doing any Christmas sewing, but I do have a baby quilt to start - the shower is in January. Will horizontal zigzags be okay with only using six colors and repeating them? I hope so. I'm having trouble with gender neutral when I think she's having a girl. My brain is thinking pink.
I am losing weight and getting healthier.

hope everyone is back on track. i am. and hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving. everything good is out of my house now. sent a lot home with a daughter. and hubby ate the rest. got a lot of sewing done today. made pillow cases out of flat sheets that were still good. after the bottom sheets were long gone. that's what i like about the basement. i go down and sew, and just stay there. don't even take anything to drink. if i get thirsty, i have to climb the stairs to get it. extra calories get burned that way, i figure. about a week left before weigh in. be good, and make this week count.

Maybe that's my problem - my primary piecing machine is 8 feet from the fridge. I sew in the family room and my sewing room is for storage. The family room is next to the kitchen.

I survived Thanksgiving without gaining.. but I did join a gym again now that I'm working again and I am signing up for a 5k that happens new years day. I do 5k's all the time for various causes but I hadn't done one in awhile, and unlike the ones for causes, this one's cause is myself. This one I'm going to try to jog at least 1 mile straight. I used to jog 5 miles a day a long time ago.

Watch them knees and ankles Ana - all that shock on them after you haven't been running can be stressful. Just take it easy.

Hehe I'm going to be going to the gym after work every day, not going to just show up jan 1 and jog.. I'd die after a block I think.. haha..

hehe I'm 32. I usually do them for like.. Alzheimers, AIDS, Breast cancer (not the susan b koemen, I could never raise that much money), Humane society.. different causes I like to help. I don't raise much because I don't like approaching people but i bring them something and i get the exercise and a t-shirt But this one is solely a commitment to the participants own health. Best cause of all right...

Anastasia, I will have to look in to the Commitment 5K. I see they are doing it in Cincinnati area. That is where I live. I do a few 5K's a year for various causes. I help coach Girls on the Run every year at school. I don't run, I walk the whole way. My goal was to finish faster than last year which was 43 minutes. I didn't do it this year. Partly because I am out of shape and partly because my walking partner this year was slower. I have bad knees and my doctor advises against running.
My eating is back on track the last 2 days. MY Dh finished all of the cookies and chips so I didn't have to eat them. I made stir fry for dinner and my DH actually liked it. He usually complains there isn't enough meat in it. It was really good. I am hoping there will be enough for lunch tomorrow. We are still getting spinach out of the garden and I am getting tired of it.
