NYNY, And it's FRED by two sticks of butter
Hey our big dinner is 11 days away. Reasonably speaking, I probably could
not actually lose more than a pound of fat in those 11 days unless I Suffered some, and I don't want to Suffer. So I am behaving. And I am going to eat in such a way on that day, that I don't actually Gain a pound of fat either. This was too freaking hard to achieve to let some holiday wipe it out. "Prairie Roots" wrote in message ... The Southern Contingent seems to being hold her own quite well. I think it's great that you were able to get yourself right back on plan. Planning for Thanksgiving this far in advance is a good idea. I was thinking about treating myself to pizza tonight, but maybe I should be thinking ahead as well.

NYNY, And it's FRED by two sticks of butter
Hey long lost sis, I'm beginning to think like you too. I decided last week that
I'm just not going to worry about Thanksgiving. It's ONE day, that's all. Plenty of time to adjust before and after, might as well sit back and enjoy the day. I'm not going to fuss too much, dinner will be at my MIL's house - no idea yet as to how many will be there. I know my oldest daughter is bringing that wonderful cheesecake and I will not refuse it! Portion control, that's gonna be my motto. grin Joyce current weight: 130; total loss 98.8 lbs Lifetime: 4/4/03 On Sat, 15 Nov 2003 15:51:47 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: Hey you had to eat all those activity points that DAY now they are Gone.!!

Yikes! Sure doesn't appear to be a promising day for a hike ... or anything else
for that matter. It's one of those days that I prefer to stay tucked into bed. g Joyce On Sat, 15 Nov 2003 09:22:32 -0800, Fred wrote: Oh, why am I here today: Here's a link to a freeway camera 5 blocks from my home: http://images.wsdot.wa.gov/nwflow/cctv135.jpg I was dressed in my hiking finery and then checked the doppler and some cameras and decided to stay dry!!!

Yes, exactly. I am going to put about half of what I think I might want on
my plate, or a third, and keep in mind I can have more if I want. Then eat slowly and enjoy every bite. My holiday problems in the past were mostly from starting about Now to sample treats and ending up Jan. 1st with the stomach to show for it and the new years resolution. My new years resolution this year is going to be to not have to take off any weight. .! "Joyce" wrote in message ... Hey long lost sis, I'm beginning to think like you too.

NYNY, And it's FRED by two sticks of butter
We are going to a fancy buffet for Thanksgiving dinner at my mother's place
in Florida. I'm going to have to fill my plate up with lots of 0 point veggies that night. Then I will get a bit of turkey and roast beef. If their Thanksgiving buffet is anything like the one they have at Christmas, it will be the dessert buffet that I have the most trouble with. Pie, cookies, parfaits. You name it, it will probably be there. "Lesanne" wrote in message .. . Yes, exactly.

It was like that most of the day. I friend came over and I made some
Latte's. Tomorrow is suppose to be similar but accompanied by winds up to 50mph. On Sat, 15 Nov 2003 16:37:11 -0600, Joyce wrote: Yikes!
