SoWell on Sowal

8 lbs! how are you feeling now? I hope you will treat yourself to your favorite comfort foods, at least for a few days, til you feel all better!

Ditto!

I have a self-imposed weigh-in tomorrow morning. I have been bad - have been really stressed for days in anticipation of the mammogram and ultrasound yesterday (it turned out to be normal, thank you Lord). I might have gained a pound. I don't expect any weight loss.

BR - glad to hear your tests came out ok - I'm the same way before mammograms. Had to get 3 of them last year due to glitches and I was a wreck until they finally got a clean one back.

Yes, it's pretty scary. Thankfully, where I go they do all of the testing right in the office and keep you there until all of the results are in. It takes several hours, but much less stressful than not getting test results for days and wondering every time the phone rings if you're gonna live or die. Of course, we're all gonna die eventually. But I'd rather last until 90. I used to say 100, but seeing my 83-year-old mother go downhill has convinced me that living to be 100 provides no quality of life.

One way to handle the portion thing is instead of cooking a turkey and a ham, cook only a chicken or two depending on the number of people attending. Same thing with the desserts, instead of cooking cakes and pies, maybe cook one pie and cut into slivers for portions. No leftovers to snack on. Also, many people like to make salads filled with mayo, but instead try some Spinach greens with Olive Oil and Balsamic vinegar, and don't bring out the hot foods until everyone finishes the salad. I know that may be difficult, but the stomach controls the serving hand, and will turn down Spinach Salad for Stuffing every time.;-)

Just tossing out some ideas. Take the ones you like and let the others fly by.

Glad your okay BR!:clap_1:

Too cute!

SJ are you joining us for the 5K Turkey Trot tomorrow morning at 10:00?

I didn't know about the Turkey Trot tomorrow. If it involves eating, I will gladly trot over to your house to eat some turkey. If it has anything to do with running, I gave that up. However, I am hitting the gym today.

you are more than welcome to come eat with us! it kind of involves all day eating. do you have my house phone # from my previous pm? if not let me know and i will send it.

regarding the turkey trot, read the turkey trot thread here in the lounge! Sounds like funn! SJ, do I look like I run?!

I wonder how long it will be before this thread gets hot again.:scratch:

I would imagine that January 2 will be the day.

A girl at the gym recently told me that my six-pack wasn't going to show until I lost all my body fat. I guess I will just have to keep my 6-pack tucked away under that layer of fat.

:funn: I love you. That's so funny. I feel like you're close though. Right? I think you're pretty skinny.

Oh, I have a great six pack. The only problem is that it is hidden.

my stomach needs its own wardrobe, bed, car, etc. In fact, my stomach is my new car. it has certainly grown into its own entity... :clap_1: or should I say or ... my stomach needs its own sowal board name for sure...
