Friday Frantics
 

Well a wonderful holiday as always, God is Good. Here is our thought for week.

So true, quiltermomma. Thanks for my laugh of the day!

Wow where has this month gone. I will be posting the new thread tonight when I get home from work. If I have time during the day will post while at work.

Remember to send me your weight loss tomorrow and Wednesday. Winner will be announced Friday.

Goodness I have not posted much this month. I hope everyone is recovering from Christmas. We have a very small, quiet Christmas this year. Spent the day with just the three of us. No family drama, no stress, no schedule. It was so peaceful. It was also sad because my siblings won't have anything to do with each other so we can't get together as a group. I don't think I will have any weight loss worth posting this month. I have lost a couple of pounds, which is great but not enough for those batiks. :(

New thread is posted. here is the link

Well the pot of batiks will not be staying at my house, it seems that I have gained 2 lbs instead of lose them. I had lost 5 lbs but put it back on plus some. UGH.

Waiting to hear from you all, don't forget to PM me your loss.

Good Luck

No sense in my sending a pm. No batiks for me!

Well I know what caused my gain, I was battling with some depression and loss of self worth. Found it again, realized I don't need to depend on anyone or anything for my happiness, it is my choice to be one way or the other.

I am changing me from the inside out. I will work on winning the next batch of batiks. LOL I am starting the new year with a new lease on life and no one or nothing is going to stop me.

I have let several things in my life go, including controlling my diabetes. I had it so under control, I know when I have my next set of labs done they will not be good. I have too much still to live for. My son and DIL are thinking of starting a family. I want to enjoy my future grandchildren. I am in control.

Cindy, there was a commercial several years ago that I really liked. (Can't remember what it was advertising.) It was a little old lady and she said something like this: "I wake up every morning. I can choose to be happy or not to be happy. I choose to be happy." We can't always control how we are feeling about everything, or what things are happening to us or around us. But we can have some control over our lives, even when things are tough. Hang in there and take back your power over what you CAN control!! May 2014 be a great year for you!

Happy New Year everyone, and a fresh start!

BTW I had no loss but no gain this month (for which I'm very happy).

No batiks for me either. Can only hope that I haven't GAINED this past month. Good luck to all of you who worked so hard to lose. May the best (loser) win!!!

Please PM me any loss, one month the winner won with less than 5 lbs lost. Don't think because you didn't lose big won't make you a winner.

Looking forward to this batik batch. I will get my pm off as soon as I weigh myself. I do not have a digital scale so I don't get to calculate the decimals will have to keep whole. Had a great time in Arizona, walked and stood lots. some exercise in the pool, but my skin developed a rash so could not enjoy more. Not sure if I will be in for the January pot, have so much going on in January. Think we will be gettng us a new puppy which I am excited for. DH finally said yes, after I said we will whether he likes it or not. I know, we need to agree, but there are times when you have to say the heck with living for bills, but need to live happy regardless of the bills.
will post on friday my frantic, have a couple more good ones. You go Cindy R, attitude gives us altitude.

No loss here. Only gained .5 so that's much better than the 5 lbs I typically gain with the holiday season.
Cindy, glad to hear things are looking up for you. You have to take care of yourself. You have no idea how much fun and joy a grandchild brings into your life. You have to stick around for that!

Happy New Year to all, and blessed with good health.

Hello all. Been a really busy couple of weeks. Glad to have all our guest back in their own houses. My son is still here, he has leave until Sunday.
I did not step on a scale this morning. I am afraid too. I know I have gained again.......
A few things are a little tighter on me.
I must do better for January

Sent my PM for December's loss. It wasn't much, but it was down. I, too, battle with self worth issues - must be a 'woman thing'. I can talk myself into a blue funk real easily sometimes - then I have to figure out how to get out of that hole and get back to smiling again. I will try to walk with you Cindy (and everyone else) to have that positive 'can do' attitude. TOday I got out of bed and said I will be happy. Happy New Year everyone.

Well according to the doctor's scale I gained 3 pounds in December. I like my scale better lol. I will do better in January, no more excuses.

Well last night I forgot to announce our December Winner. Drum Roll!!!!!!

The winner with 7 lbs lost is QuilterMomma.

Congratulations.

WooHoo! Congratulations QuilterMomma!!!

Great!!! You go girl. I know how much you were wanting to win those batiks. You won them, and lost the weight.

Wow QuilterMomma. Good job. Enjoy the batiks. We had my DH family for our Christmas party. It was really nice. When I cleaned up I threw away all of the fudge. I couldn't stop eating it. So now it is gone. I gotta start behaving myself.

Great job, quiltermomma! Congrats! You earned those batiks.
