Can't believe I am the first to post....hope that is a sign of my devotion to being OP. Starting to resume my workout schedule as a part of being OP...which means several days a week getting up and getting to the gym before work...uhg...tough to start old routines again, but I know it will be good for me, and that the more I do that, the better I'll feel. Hugs to you all, and hope everyone has a happy and healthy start to the week. Two more weeks of work and then off till after the holidays. Love, Maajida

Yes, Maaj, it's hard to get back into the routine of exercise. I had not been walking for a couple of weeks and it is not my favorite thing to do, especially this time of year when there are so many other things that need to be getting done!

I have a Christmas party to go to tonight (women in my Sunday School class), but I plan to control myself and not "over-do" on anything. It will be finger foods and you know what that means.....everyone tried to bring their best holiday stuff!! YUM!! AHH!! SIGH!!

This is going to be a great week, though! Hope it is for everyone!

Yay, Maaj - you are back into the swing of things. You are going to feel so much better. Give yourself a pat on the back and feel proud that you are getting back on the horse.

I am up to run errands and take my mom to the doctor and shopping.

We had a busy weekend. Mitch stepped on a screw (don't ask) on Saturday night and I took him to the ER. All is fine - nothing broken or left in his foot. He went to school all bandaged up today.

Meals are planned and I have exercised already. I will get a few chores done and be on my way.

I'm OP today. Kind of blew it yesterday and the day before. I also have a party to go to tonight and hope I don't over do it again. I think Christmas time is way different than birthdays, anniversaries etc. because it's the whole month of Dec. going here and there with parties. It takes self control which I don't have so much of, at certain times. Have a great day all.

Talk about being late to post. I left home at 8 AM to get to the 8:30 water aerobics class. Then did treadmill and weight lifting. After the gym went shopping for Christmas. I was very hungry so went to McD's. I'm so upset that they don't have the Asian Chicken salad anymore. Got a grilled chicken sandwich without mayo. Ate it with only half of the bun. It is expensive to eat there now. $6 for a sandwich and large soda. Sure won't do that very often.
I earned 9 AP today but won't eat them. I'm desperately trying to get off the weight I gained last week.
From what I've read about the new WW program I'm excited. I've heard that they want everyone to count points for the first 6 weeks. Think I'll do it even tho I have counting points. Maybe it will get me back on track. I'll get my new materials on Thurs.
Got to get supper ready.
