Good Saturday afternoon! We woke up to gusty winds and cold temps with a little snow thrown in!! eek A couple of inches for us. Up in the higher mtns, they got 8-12 inches!! Hope this isn't what this winter is going to be! sad
Oh my goodness that wind is awful!! Around lunchtime, my DH got called into work to help with power restoration. I will try to download a picture after I get through here.
Yesterday was a great day for our family. My DD and her boyfriend tied the knot!! I would put up pictures but she is in marketing and doesn't like me putting up her pictures everywhere. biggrin They looked wonderful and happy! So, now we have a son in the family. My DH is very happy that there is now another male!
No walking outdoors for me! That wind chill is too cold! So, walking inside once I get some things done. Dinner will be for one--veggie pizza or turkey burger, whichever I get in the mood to fix.
Hope you got down to Disney ok, JMed, cause it is cold and messy at your hometown!! Wishing you sunny days, girlfriend!!
Hope you all have a great rest of the weekend!! Disney is getting closer!! clapping

Working out pre Disney was well worth it, I got a cold after 6 days but when I left home all of my family and friends had nasty colds so it was expected. I'm sure the working out helped as where they had it for a week I had it for a day and a bit.

I'm now back and I hate to say it I'm going to need to do a lot of working out post Disney!!! I put on a LOT of weight! eek but I don't regret the eating or the drinking, just accepting I need to get on and lose it.

Welcome back Brinbunny!! Good words to live by!! We will be very supportive of you!! Glad you had a great time though!! wink

Thanks Boomer, it's great to have support with losing weight and getting fitter. I've stuck to the healthy eating for the last 3 days, feeling rubbish today as I've given up bread, alcohol and cut way back on my snacks replacing most of them with fruit so I am carb and sugar troughing today.

Gym is next week, just noticed a new one has opened near me, will check them out and join or rejoin my old one this week.

Just catching up, it's great to hear that you are all working hard towards your goals.

We had a very busy one with DD getting married, the snow, DH working Saturday, etc. Whew!
Now, I need to get in the final planning for my birthday WDW trip! It is only 24 more days!! I am getting super-excited!! Gotta start my pre-TR soon!
Lots of chili and soups in the slow-cooker this week! Watchmaker, you get ready for that hibernation! I think we all will be doing that before you know it.Smile
Have a great Disney day everyone!!

Good morning! Cloudy and cool

I just about did my back in washing windows yesterday. Think I will take it easy today!
Walking about will be enough for me.
Grilled fish, orzo, and a kale salad for dinner tonight.
Have a happy day! laugh

I'm from New England (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont) and around this time it is getting cold, I usually go to the gym but I am having a disput with them, I usually don't ru. There anyway but I guess I will need to start running even though it is getting colder, gotta make the bet of it before it gets miserable

I've got one week in on my diet. Down 1.8 lbs. I'll take it.

I'm doing old school weight watchers point system. Last time I lost 37 lbs over a six month period. But then gained it back slowly over three + years. The doctor is threatening to put me on more cholesterol meds, so I'm motivated. But I'm having a hard time getting up early for cardio.

Hey guys!! Glad you all are getting up and moving!! clapping Yes, Colonel, I am with you on that getting up early and working out. I have to wait until early afternoon to do any workouts which mine is stretching and weights. I just am not all that limber and warmed up early in the morning. I can tell you one thing though. Walking is helping me with keeping my blood pressure down. We walk 4 miles a day outdoors when the weather isn't too bad. Plus, it keeps us young!! biggrin

HI! Here I am. I am so tired of walking last week! LOL. We didn't stop. So I stayed the same even with all the yummy food and drinks! Weather here is finally getting tolerable for me.

Joe is on his weight challenge at work and I am putting on my winter weight eek

I will be in a holding pattern until early spring Smile

Good morning! It is sunny and cold here! Think we will miss the snow this weekend-farther up north.
Starting my Christmas shopping today! And getting my packing list going! wink
We have started walking at lunch since it gets dark by the time DH gets home.
Turkey burgers with cranberry-apple relish and sweet potato wedges for dinner! New recipe!
Hi JMed!!! All that walking keeps it off for sure! Wish I could walk at WDW every day then I could eat as much as I want all the time! Lol
Have a super day!!! laugh

Sunny and cold here today. In the upper 20s. Winter is sadly upon us. I don't mind it so much if the sun is out though wink
Probably doing all work inside the house this weekend since it is cold both days. Eating lots of comfort foods--at least healthy comfort foods. lol
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!! Stay warm or stay cool wherever you are!! Two weeks from today, we will be on the road to the happiest place on earth!!! biggrin clapping

Good morning guys!! Sorry I have been so busy running around shopping for our upcoming trip and trying to finish the painting and mouldings in our kitchen before the holidays kick in!
We have been trying to get in walking outside whenever possible before dinner. But, the time change finally got here and it is too dark to get in our 4 miles then. sad So, either I walk by myself, (when it is warm, which has not been the case lately), or DH does the treadmill and I walk around inside the house. We live in a 2 story so we have steps which makes walking inside better.
I have had a lot of heartburn lately at night and trying to figure out what is causing it. So, I have cut out all garlic, onions, caffeine, chocolate sad , and carbonation to see if it helps. If any of you have a great solution, please share!
Tonight's dinner is comfort foods: meatloaf, polenta, and green beans.
Hope everyone is well and moving a lot. This is going to be a longggg winter!! yuck Have a super day!!!
