Good Morning to all...just got back from church. Plan to be OP all day again!
Patty, I found out yesterday at my meeting that we won't get the info on new program until January! We are a franchise and not part of International! GO FIGURE! Our leader did say, though, the same about the "filling foods". At least it doesn't sound like they're screwing up a "good program", anyway!! I'm ready to hear anything from anybody this week that will have the new info!
Carrie, I've thought of you so much since your post yesterday. You're in my prayers. Hope your visit goes well.
Laura, my younger daughter's in-law's live in Michigan....moved there from Washington state a couple of years ago. Our kids were sort of planning to go there for Christmas from Florida, but may not because of weather, etc. And I just thought it was BRRR cold here! You have snow and wind and......!
That makes me want to bake, too. In fact, I have to make something for SS Christmas party tomorrow night! I'm trying to think of a good finger food that will be WW friendly for me. I can always take fruit and dip, but I wanted to do something different!
Maajida, I'm guessing you know that Aldi's is a grocery store. You can go to Aldi.com and there is a store locator there. The meatballs that I used were turkey meatballs. I'm thinking that there are probably other manufacturers that make them. If you want to make your own use ground turkey breast or very lean gr. beef. I've done that also with the sauce in the crockpot. There are a couple other sauces that are good but not really WW. A bottle of chili sauce with a can of cranberry sauce is good. Also a jar of current jelly with a jar of dijon mustard.
Hey all...I'm just now getting home from work/church. What a day! My Sundays are hardly a day of rest!!
The visit to my mom's went ok, meaning, we didn't get into "it." The weather was really bad and it took awhile to get down there (1.5 hrs. away, but it took longer due to the snow). By time we got there, we only had time to go eat and then she had to go on to work b/c she needed extra driving time. So, we really didn't discuss too much of their problems.
Unfortunately though, the stress has thrown me somewhat off program for a couple days, not to mention the trip down there unterrupted my schedule and I haven't been to store yet to shop for myself. Tomorrow is a new day though. I don't think I've gone too terribly overboard today, but I need to get my stuff in the cabinets.
Hi Gang! I just wanted to check in for a moment before heading off to bed.
(((((Carrie)))))) - my heart goes out to you right now. As I read your post, my eyes filled up. My parents split up when I was a toddler, so I really had no relationship with my father. It doesn't matter how old you are, separation is ALWAYS painful. You are in my prayers.
Maaj - hang in there girl!! You can do this, we know you can. You have been down this road before and you bounced back and you can do it again. Are you planning your meals and preparing as much as possible? Have you identified the triggers that cause you to go OP? Sometimes if you can identify them and have a game plan in place for when they hit, you can thwart the binge. Let us know how we can help.
Laura and Patty, way to go on staying OP. You are a great inspiration!
Diane, I agree about just maintaining during the holidays. That is a good way to look at things. Holidays are so hard, sometimes it is too discouraging to try to lose. We are often better at maintaining and then trying for that loss in January.
Uki, I'm doing ok today and planning ahead for things, as you suggested...gotta admit I got a little teary absorbing the caring in your words. Thanks so much, maajida
