Think Happy Thoughts!

Oh man! When it rains it pours… and then it freezes and covers everything in a deadly layer of hazardous ice! Argh! Just when I started recovering from Thanksgiving, my monthly pimple and crazy cravings flare up! I am up 2.5 pounds since last week which, wait… THAT TOTALLY RULES!!! Today is Thursday! And last Thursday was Thanksgiving itself! I’ve made it through THREE huge feasts,

Thanksgiving Flop.

Did I mention that I had THREE Thanksgivings to go to this year? One at my Aunt Linda's (Dad's side), the second at my Mom's and then Thanksgiving with my husband's family.I did really well at two of the three, but the other one went really bad...I was cajoled by my mom and sister into having a large glass of wine.

Argh! I fell for the old "Trick of the Lite.”That’s when you end up eating lots of “fake” treats, trying to satisfy your cravings with “healthy alternatives.” But you just end up eating way more calories of lite junk trying to satisfy your craving than you would have just having a small portion of what you really wanted in the first place!*Sigh*Real treats are so much more satisfying to me,

Period Puff and more Halloween pics.

I was 144.75 this morning. Thanks Period. Stupid body. I am doing okay though, and looking forward to the weekend!!! :) Here are some more pictures from Halloween.
