This is a challenging time of year for all of us. I am grateful you are here and I know we will all think of a new motivating plan for all of us in the New Year. New is good and I think we all need something we can be excited about again. We will find it. We will do it and before you know it I will be wanting to sneak in your suitcase and sip fancy margaritas in Mexico!!! Just dream of how beautiful it will be and how great you will look!!

I'm with you...I want to make it through the holidays and then really work on where I need to be. I am choosing to be proud of myself for every candy, fudge,muffin, bread, cookie, dessert I pass on. You wouldn't believe how many times I day I get to be proud of me...sharon 'just don't gain 'is my rule right now and thats pretty hard during this season. Be kind to Moose and come the first there will be some master plans on where we plan to be in the new year. chin up...all will be well.

Yup ~ I am clinging to my vine barely. BUT, I am committed, Jan 2 ~ down and dirty, even if I have to walk in circles saying "I CAN DO THIS". I am adding another goal, 3x a week exercise of some kind. We all will do this together Moose! All of us that have put on a few lbs are feeling FAT, you are amoung a bunch of us there. I have allowed some old habits to show their heads, but Jan 2nd I start chopping them off. You too, we will do this together, we are a team!!! P.S. Yea, hot flashes and hormonal crap sucks!

Carol, I feel for you and wish I had some magic solution. But if you keep coming here, and keep journaling and just coast for a while ... hopefully it will all come together for you soon. My heart aches to hear you. I am usually in a funk at Christmas and have found this year so much easier and think its because my blood sugar is controlled and I don't have the highs and lows that I normally have. One foot in front of the other, this season is almost over. Do what you have to do, minimal is fine. Enjoy your son's visit over Christmas. Love yourself as much as we do and if you can't, we will do it for you. HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS You are so precious.

heya Miss Funky! Fill'er up w/ Christmas spirit and enjoy Christmas time, give the man what he wants (date bread lol) I would REAAAAALLY love some too, hoping gma makes it too. I know times are hard, but live in the now... don't regret spending this time too upset. I know you will succeed at the losing game one more time and this would have all been worth it, becuase you know? what fun is it being entirely done anyway??????

I think I may need to consult with my doc ... the more I think about it today I think I am really struggling with menopausal stuff. In the past I wasn't a candidate for bio-identical hormones or any kind of hormone because of the migraines and the blood clot I had a few years ago but maybe he'll consider it. I just feel too awful ... just not me. It isn't just because I've gained a few either. I know darn well I can take it back off. The sleep disturbance alone is enough to make someone feel crazy. My baby boy (almost 30 years old ... LOL!!!) is coming home for the weekend. I've made some yummy macaroni salad, clam dip, the prime rib is in the fridge ready to be cooked ... I'm going to enjoy the celebration and find my way back to me.

Random fact: I'm not able to take bio-identical hormones either! I ended up in the I.C.U for a few days to find that one out. LOL. I hope you are feeling better my friend. Maybe some extra vitamins could help? How's your D and B12 looking thses days? :]

Lol, your ever-loving mind is so great, Moose. Power and beauty come from within. :) I haven't wrapped my presents yet - might be up very late tonight. Join the last-minute club. ;-) We are juggling moms and professionals. Yes, after Christmas will come the peace and blessing of balance, plans, and health. Wishing you every blessing this Christmas and always. :)
