I have lost my will power, good gosh I was even randomly eating chocolate covered almonds at 5:00pm. What the heck! Tomorrow I plan to do a full refrigerator clean up as our last kid goes back home. I hope to be on the straight and narrow by the time we leave YIKES on Tuesday for DLR! If you see someone rolling down Main Street on their way to Gibson Girl it just might be me

And it's a reason to not pig out. Want to look at least half as snazzy as the chicks on the stage! (Twice as dressed, half as snazzy.)

LOL A birthday party, a birthday dinner, two nights of drinking, Thanksgiving day and a few days of potato/gravy/stuffing leftovers really did me in! In exercise news, I'm not getting out as much as I'd like but I have knocked 20 minutes off of my 4 mile walk. Am doing it in just under 60 minutes and have added some hills. Here's the best part...my husband can't keep up with me. Heh. It's driving him nuts, too. ;-) He started out in August in 38" pants (and they were getting too tight) and he just bought a few pairs of 32" jeans and a pair of medium jammie pants. He doesn't even remember the last time he wore a 32". :-D I've asked him to do me a huge favor and eat all of the Danish butter cookies while I'm at work today. We had to make them for Linnie's Heritage Day school project (Heritage Day). Those damn things are tasty!

Did the Wii fit today, took a nice walk including the "goat hill" and have my foods planned out for the next few days. mele, that is awesome about your DH! Hmmm, now who does he owe the loss to? Hmmmmm
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hi folks, sorry I have been away, my new job means long days and little time on line. I am now light enough for the Wii fit (first time since we bought it a year ago) and only 6 lbs from being obese rather than morbidly obese! 70 lbs gone, 80 more to go. Problem is, it has slowed down now, despite walking much more (4 miles yesterday)
Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS Wow, I've been away a long, long time....Dave, you lost 70 pounds!! Holy bat cave. That is wonderful! I won't pretend to join in here until after the holidays as we've now discovered that baking is fun and oh so yummy. Look forward to joining all on new year's day. It will take me that long to catch up on all of the posts. Good job everyone - really.
