i am in Iowa. We have a Christmas dinner tomorrow with my siblings. There are usually 40-50 of us. Usually not much healthy food to choose from. Hard for me to do food when I travel 400 miles. Portion control, right? i got a pedometer for Christmas but it seems like it only tracks about half or maybe only 1/4 of my steps. Could I be doing something wrong? |
Oh IrishRose I don't know how you do it! Too too cold for me I use to do it but can't anymore. We'll be up to Houghton Lake this summer! And Pam H if you're by Cedar Rapids wave a Hi that's my hometown. Do to asthma DH and I moved to Florida a year ago still have problems but not like living in the Iowa cold climate. Can you believe I can't even go walking if the temp drops to below 60 good night isn't that terrible?! Createfourpaws, hope you are better we just over the flu started 12/10 and we didn't feel human till Christmas Eve so hope it's not the flu.
Weight is slowly coming down I still eat 4 small meals a day, drink at least 6 glasses of water and drink lots of tea too. Love those red grapefruit, they are my favorite citrus and I put on a Tblsp of honey. I have found when I try to modify this way of eating I will actually gain don't know why I guess it's all about balance for me. FQ's are in the mail as of Friday - had fun visiting our local shop as I didn't have anything coral. I had a Fossil Fern in mind but when I went to find it - couldn't so had to go shopping -;). Today is our celebration of the Epiphany the 12th Day of Christmas so tomorrow I guess we have to take the decorations down and store them away for another year - I'll miss seeing them. Think next year I'll make up some weather proof large gift boxes and put them in the yard on this celebration - neighbors will wonder what thats all about - might be fun. It's interesting hearing what all of you are doing - keep up the good work - Any of you doing the Mystery stash buster train ride? it's fun. |
Cindy, my pedometer is the Omron GOsmart. I will have to fuss with it and see if I can get it to work better for me.
today is another driving day. North on I-35 from Des Moines to Minneapolis then east to my house in Wisconsin. No where near Cedar Rapid, daisy. |
Cindy - I'll be putting my FQ's in the mail to you tomorrow. Getting my butt back on track since I'll be going back to work in a few days. I'm actually looking forward to that!!!! I need my routine back!!!! I have definately enjoyed the time off and all the extra time I had for the Holidays and trips with family and friends, but I need to get myself back to normal again!!!!! And get rid of this bagage I'm carrying around!!

Good Morning my friends
Woke up this morning feeling a little better. Everything is in my head all the congestion, I only get to coughing when the sinuses start draining. No fever or body aches. SO I dont think I got the flu, feels like a head cold and sinus issues. I am working on the Mystery Train ride also. I am doing the larger size. I got all of my 9-patches done, posted pics on that thread. Also have pic of what is my fabric a and b......but changed my mind on fabric A. I am half way done with putting together clue 2. Well I am going to go get some breakfast and then work on my mystery quilt. I really need to get back to this t-shirt quilt and get it finished. |

well one thing with being sick this weekend, I have gotten more done then when I am well. Amazing how that works, can't sleep at night, cat napping during the day. I was able to get both of the clues done on the mystery train ride I am doing here on the board. it has been fun. it is a scappy quilt. here is the picture with it done through the 2 clues given. I ended up chaniging my mind on what i was gonna use in clue 2.
This has been fun. I still need to sew the rows together. but it is better than it was yesterday. |
Cindy, really like your fabric selection. I've been looking for a little something different and can't seem to make up my mind.
Glad you are feeling better. |
Well, gals --- you are lucky! The fat qrtrs will not come to me this month. I can't get my willpower started! Help!!!
I do plan on joining WW this Thurs so maybe that will work??? |
Cindy, look at you go on that mystery quilt! I just got home from the weekend away. I need to get my clue printed out and get to work. I also need to work on the wallhanging for the nursery and finish up some booties.
Almost forgot! Here is an interesting little tidbit I got in an email. I REALLY need to start getting to bed early and get more sleep. [h=3]Sleep More, Weigh Less[/h]Sleeping an extra hour a night could help a person drop 14 pounds in a year, according to a University of Michigan researcher who ran the numbers for a 2,500 calorie per day intake. His scenario shows that when sleep replaces idle activities -- and the usual mindless snacking -- you can effortlessly cut calories by 6%. Results would vary for each person, but sleep may help in another way, too. There's evidence that getting too little sleep revs up your appetite, making you uncommonly hungry. |
Walking the dogs in the moonlight with no wind blowing was lovely tonight. How do I do it? I made a mistake and taught my Siberian mix how to say 'Walk". It's hard to resist a pretty furgirl asking for a walk. She says "Hello", too, and knows when to use it. We were working on "I love you" when I rescued Moira. Now Lily would rather communicate with the Border Collie mix than me. If I am going to keep dogs in an urban setting, then it's my responsibility to see that they get adequate exercise. Lily is a PSD and could be certified a SD if she weren't too shy to pass the CGC test, so I need to keep her. She takes care of me and Moira makes me laugh.
I'm doing better with my food intake, but it hasn't shown much on the scales yet. I will mix up some lemon water and my other concoctions later. I am losing weight and becoming healthier. |
