    Day 114

    ::: blink ::: Weigh in was today – the first weigh in after turkey day, which I enjoyed thoroughly, by the way. I lost. Two point two pounds, lost. I'm stunned, considering that I ate my points and then some this weekend. However, I'll take it, and no complaints! :) Current weight is 268.6, for a total loss of 23.2 pounds. Currently losing at a rate of 1.4 lbs per week.

You know where they really came from.And you do enjoy the seasonal celebrations,regardless of their name… A merry Yule toyou! What Christmas Carol are you? brought to you by…

    "Paging Goldilocks", or "Clothing Industry: Necessity or Cruel Joke"

    So I've got five or six pairs of jeans (pairs? There's only one!) all the same size. Of those, a couple are too big, a couple are too small, and one or two fit ok, except the legs are too short. What. the. hell. Plus, all except one are the same bloody manufacturer. It's a plot, I tell you. Is it any wonder I hate buying new clothes? Of course, this makes it completely impossible to buy clothes online. :-/

    YAT

    you are palegreen#98FB98 Your dominant hue is green. You're logical and steadfast, focused on figuring life out and doing what makes sense. You value being trusted because you know you're taking the time to figure things out and everyone should just follow you. Your saturation level is lower than average – You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan. Your outlook on life…

    Padding the world…

    Santa's knee off limits? A small town in New Zealand has banned children from sitting on Santa's knee because organisers fear liability if anything goes wrong. Instead, children in the South Island village of Mosgiel will be asked to sit next to Santa, on specially decorated “elf chairs”, as they discuss their Christmas wish list. Organiser Gail Thompson, secretary of the Mosgiel Business Association that is organising the event, says the precaution is “ridiculous” but necessary. She fears children could come back in at a later date with allegations about Santa's behaviour. “None of us really want the risk of…

    Day 108 – Gold Star Day!

    Yesterday we had the carpets cleaned and the only appointment I could get was during my meeting time! So weigh in was today and I'm definitely pleased: 270.8 – down 1.6 pounds for a total of twenty-one! So my plan for the week is hitting my points target every day except T-day. Tomorrow I'll eat damn well what I want, thank you, but I'll record and count it all. I'll be aware of portion sizes and not go crazy, but I'll allow myself to have that second serving of mashed potatoes and gravy if I want it. There's also an…
