It was warm and so nice today
I got in my walk at lunch and we sang Christmas Carols out side...
I'm doing good, they had candy and brownies today but I smile and said boy they look so good, but never ate one did not even think I might try one...I told myself you really don't need another treat, you will have some soon enough.. It even surprised me....then I went for a walk in the beautiful Sunshine, more the same tomorrow...
It's survivor night so I need to get on the treadmill and get another 60 minutes of exercise in...

Have a Wonderful Thursday....

My heart goes to John Lennon today.....I loved you man....

Glad you had such a good day today! Warm weather sounds nice...I'm kind of missing it and it's so strange for me to say that. LOL!!! Hope you have a relaxing evening and that tomorrow as a repeat of the excellence of today! Report Inappropriate Comment

Another good day, I'm keeping very busy at work and at home so that keeps me from thinking to much and worrying so much.. and getting a lot of steps.....
So how can I ask for more......

So that's it from my end of this busy world...

Take care and think healthy thoughts.....
know that there is no shame in asking for help ,,,,,, we all need it......and don't we all feel better when we can help some one...

HUGS

Looks like Christmas is coming

Monday, December 06, 2010

I'm feeling the Christmas spirit today....I had a fun day, going to a few thrift shops and getting some really cute Christmas items really cheap..... I had 5 of the people from day program and they had a ball looking and exploring all the wonders of the thrift shops...
Then we had our singing group, we are getting ready for the big Party where they will sing and dance...
I also helped 2 of the Guys pick out gifts for the gift exchange, the got women names and did not have a clue what to get ...I also told them I would wrap the gifts for them as they don't have the paper and tags and well all the things I have so much of.....it was so much fun and it really is the true meaning of Christmas.... to help those who truly need help.....
I have a lot more to help but I love doing it....
Tomorrow is a different group and we will be looking for some treasures for them too...
What a way to spend the day and get paid for it.....

well off I go to get my self ready for tomorrow...
Our weather has been very nice sunny and 56 today and the weather man says warmer tomorrow...
I did good on food, they brought in chocolate cake and carrot cake from some meeting but I looked but did not even have a taste..... I took 5 people and we went for a walk.....they have gotten use to our daily walks and now wait for me at the door , asking me to "lets go , we want to walk"...lol oh and one thing I want to share, it won't mean much as I can't give details but one our people, who never ever wanted to exercise has decided I was right all along and she want to start exercising, she walked up and down the hall today, saying it's time to get healthy.....she gave me a big hug and said, help me get healthy... of course I said Yes...I'm here for you every step of the way......It brought me to tears as I have been so worried about her ....she has a chance now for a healthy life.....
okay enough talk

Have a healthy Tuesday

Kitt

This is such a lovely, giving post. Not only have I recently been inspired by your weight loss and health journey (I read a good deal of your posts starting from the beginning), but your work sounds like a dream! What kind of work do you do? Cat Report Inappropriate Comment

Happy and healthy Sunday

Sunday, December 05, 2010

I had a very productive day today....got menu ready for the week, lunches made, nut snack bagged....
got the things I'm going to send to my Dad ready to mail, house cleaned , laundry done..

and got in over 20k steps both days.....ate healthy and still found time to have fun.....

I have decided that I will take it one day at a time.....not going to worry about the parties and the food..just follow the plan I have been on for the last 4.5 years and not look back....I am a very strong women and I won't let anything or anyone get in my way of my healthy life style and that includes myself.....so there self ...lol
I do let myself get bogged down at times with worry....not sure why but I do
I am lucky that I have so many good supportive friends here at Sparkpeople who help me stay on track and remind me that I can and will do this....

Gary is a bit down this Christmas it will the first one since the kids moved to California, and he is really missing them....He said he would rather it pass quickly and for me not to fuss as he doesn't need the extra calories either......and he want to go out to dinner for Christmas eve and me not to made a big dinner, so we shall see...not baking a ton of goodies will be a plus for me......

well have a healthy week, only 19 more days till Christmas...are you ready......

Sounds like you had a good weekend! How Gary feels is understandable...it's hard not having the grandkids around when you're used to having them there. Going out sounds like a good idea...start a new tradition this year for the two of you! Report Inappropriate Comment

LAINIESNEWLIFE 12/6/2010 2:25PM

Sorry Gary is sad this year. It's too bad you can't take a trip to California to visit with them. Maybe that's something you can plan for next year. I know it's not easy when you're away from family during the holidays. Take care! hugs, Lainie Report Inappropriate Comment

Kitt, I like your plan and like what Gary wants to do about eating out. Before the grandkids were around DH & I would go to a fabulous brunch on Xmas morning at the Hyatt Hotel. Festive, great food and I didn't need all the fuss, muss and extra food. Report Inappropriate Comment

Kitt 19 days oh my no am not ready lol..yikes glad you had a productive day.. plan sounds great.. You are a strong woman so no worries needed.. Hope you and Gary stick to his plan of a low keyed Christmas ..I think I know how he feels if my kids were far away I think it would be soooooo sad.. hugs to you both Report Inappropriate Comment

COUNTING_DOWN 12/6/2010 7:56AM

Good for you. Idea: Instead of gifts to each other, how about taking a trip to see the kids sometime over the Christmas vacation? Figure out how you can do it the cheapest...drive, pack your food, take turns and drive straight... We did that to visit our son in Charleston, SC from Vermont. We took turns driving, we packed our food, or went to grocery stores and used our cooler, cutting board and knife. Maybe you can cook this up with the kids and surprise Gary. At any rate, wishing you a Merry Christmas. Report Inappropriate Comment

Wow! You are so on top of things. Maybe that's why you look as good as you do - you are organized and determined. I have my Christmas shopping done, my cards and the letter made out and mailed and all the inside and outside decorations up. But I still can't walk very well at all.
