Hope all gets back to normal

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

Now that the holidays are over (except for New Years) I'm hoping things will get back to normal. There was a hugh snow storm, for our area we would consider it hugh, during Christmas. We were house bound and didn't get to my daughter's Christmas day so we missed seeing the grandchildren get up and see their eyes get big from all that was under the Christmas Tree. But we will do a little celebration probably this weekend so they will get to open our gifts and we can see the reaction a little later than Christmas. All is good tho and it's good to get back to Sparking. Have a good day.

Im anxious for things to get back to normal too so that I can get back on track. Glad you all are getting some fun even if after the fact and kids get to extend the fun of christmas this way. Keep up the good work! Report Inappropriate Comment

As nice as the holidays are, having them passed is good too. The memories of the holidays are often more enjoyable than the actual event with its attendant chaos. Report Inappropriate Comment

Another Christmas lunch

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

So, they are at it again. Another Christmas lunch today. We are going to a country, family style restaurant so I can probably get a veggie plate. Or chicken, etc.
This has been a strange month for me. I'm usually in a very festive holiday mood but this year has been different. I didn't send out Christmas cards this year as usual, I love doing that. I didn't decorate much, either. The inlaws celebrated Monday, a week in advance and we don't have Christmas Eve plans, just Christmas Day plans. The BH has had surgery too, the first of this month, so I guess everything has just added up this year. I have really enjoyed Sparking tho during the holiday season beginning in November. Sparkers are great to share holiday wishes with. Have a good day and Keep Sparking.

I know what you mean about having a tough time getting into the spirit of the season. Family was supposed to be here already and guess I should be glad but havent been inspired to get things set for them yet anyway. Guess we are all feeling a little stressed financially and blue too. You are right that it is nice to touch base this the Spark friends and thanks for making a point of nudging me. Hope things will be a bit merrier as the days go along! Report Inappropriate Comment

Holidays seem to mean a lot less in today's society. It is a pity really. Have a great season. Report Inappropriate Comment

Down, Down gradually

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

So I'm reporting on my Weight Watchers weigh in this afternoon. Was down 2.2. I've lost a total of 6 lbs. since September. Only 2 more to go and I won't have to pay for Weight Watchers as the company will pay for those losing at least 8 lbs in 17 weeks. Good luck to all you Sparkers out there. See you in the morning.

Full staff donut

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

We had a full staff meeting this morning. The company provided donuts for us. I took one and wrapped it up and will eat 1/2 of it today after Weight Watchers and 1/2 of it tomorrow. It's a chocolate filled one. My favorite. Next weigh in Dec. 28th.
Did well at the inlaws party last night. Just had a spoon of each of the dishes but here were several so I'm sure I went over on my points. Will let you all know tomorrow how my weigh in goes today. According to my scales I have lost 2 lbs. Hope this holdiay season goes well for all of you Sparkers. Keep Sparking.

What will power you have! I wouldn't have been able to touch a donut...let alone save it! LOL WOOHOO on the loss of 2 lbs!!! You go girl!!! Report Inappropriate Comment

You are doing really well with practicing moderation. Taking small portions of the buffet & splitting the donut over 2 days is a good idea - it lets you have a taste of everything without bingeing on anything. Report Inappropriate Comment
