Sandy701's Journal, 22 December 2011

AAAACCCCCKKKK....just saw a newly updated commercial for that "I've fallen and I can't get up" product and the new actress looks younger than me!!!!!! AAAACCCCCKKKKK!!!!!

On a brighter note....walked 3.1 miles this AM with both doggies along for 2.4 miles. Very humid and warm (mid-70's) so shorts were the clothing of choice again. It's the kind of day that has gusty breezes and you just know the storms that are forecast to arrive later will be the severe kind, based on how it feels already.

I had to run back to the thrift store today to retrieve the umbrella I left there yesterday - might need it today! Then, it was back home to get the grilling done early because it looked like any dinnertime outdoor cooking would get rained out big time. I ate my dinnertime meat/protein at lunch because it was all nice, hot and ready to go. Probably just a salad for dinner then.

DH, after successfully passing his fitness assessment last week, is still celebrating that achievement with lots of off-plan foods. He's not sure what kind of a program he'll be on "after the holidays" but right now, he's NOT on Atkins or anything similar to it. It's hard enough for anyone to stay on plan in the midst of the holidays but it's even more difficult with DH eating all sorts of foods that have no place on Atkins....or any other lower carb plan. I keep telling myself that I AM allowing myself a pizza on Christmas Eve and that, as of this morning, I'm just 1.1 pounds away from my 12/15 goal and changing to Pre-Maintenance. Those thoughts are like a chant going on in my head right now to TRY to keep me away from all the other temptations that are seemingly all around right now.

Even if DH is celebrating early (and often) it is good to know you've got your head on straight. I expect you'll be on had to help pull me out of the wreckage come January. BTW - I'll have to be on the look out for that infomercial. Age is a bitch. I see kids driving that look like they are not old enough to leave the house alone.

Buffy, even if you're a bit off-plan over the holidays, I doubt it will be any kind of wreckage for you....you've worked too hard and come too far to allow that to happen. As far as age is concerned....it's really bad when your primary care doctor looks like he/she should just be learning how to drive!

Hey there M2B....I was used to seeing a decidedly-older person in that commercial, but this new actress threw me for a loop! Have a Merry Christmas, too!

Notfast....You have a wonderful holiday, as well. I bet you're not missing one single flake of the snow that's supposedly heading for Kansas.

LMAO Sandy..I hate that commercial...I know what you mean by having all the stuff right in your face...hopefully my DH will stay on plan with me like we plan on doing...If not I am just going to have take some pointers from you on how to stay away from the food...I try having my own space for the things I can have and a place for his..its hard...going to hunt down my back bone and super glue it to me so I can say no...LOL...MERRY CHRISTMAS..my dear friend...Oh put up a pic of one of my morning sunrises...:O)

Merry Christmas Bren...I'll hop over and take a look at that picture - bet it's just gorgeous. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your DH stays on plan with you....lots easier that way.

Well, enjoy your pizza! And, have a great Christmas. You have already demonstrated that you have the determination to make your next goal. Pre-maintenance - that is exciting!

I can't STAND that commercial either....enjoy your pizza & do try to never mind what DH does...you do your own thing so well anyway! Merry Christmas to a grand buddy!

F8thful1, although I'm probably doing more "low carb" than official Atkins, I still look forward to changing over to Pre-M...just 'cuz it's something different!

GG....believe me, I WILL enjoy that pizza. I even called the place today to see what their hours are for tomorrow. I'd hate to get all psyched up for a pizza from this place and then find out they're closed on Christmas Eve! But, I'm in luck; they're open 9 - 6:30!
