Good morning!

Well, I survived the office buffet this morning.  I drank 4 cups of coffee and nibbled on celery.  That's it.  Nothing else.  Yay!  I just finished my lunch, consisting of a tuna wrap, V8, and grape tomatoes.  I also had an apple after the buffet crowd had disappeared.  I'm glad that's over with!

I haven't been able to continue the C25K, unfortunately.  I have a lump at the base of my middle left toe, which has left it swollen.  I've had it a few weeks, but now it really hurts.  One of our employees is a massotherapist, so he worked on it a little this morning - it feels a little better.  He's supposed to do it again tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes.  Meanwhile I managed to do my 30-minute weightlifting routine and 15 minutes of stationary bike.  Tomorrow afternoon I'll try to get a message on my neck, shoulders and left arm - I'm really sore, especially after lifting the heavier weights and barbell.

I'm starting to get excited for Christmas, now that school is winding down.  If I can keep my eating (and drinking especially) in check, I should be okay.  My goal is to get into the 160s before my ladies-only cruise January 8th 2009.  Even a 169.8 would do!

Enjoy your day, everyone!!!

My mantra for weight control is "stay away from the buffet!"  Thos are dangerous.  And you did awesome!!

You did great on resisting the buffet.  Maybe we will all make it thru this holiday without gaining the normal 5 to 7 pounds.  I love holidays but I don't know why we humans have made the "all about food".   I am a little envious (in a good way) about your upcoming cruise.  That is good motivation for staying away from the over indulgence in the food area....as for the

my post was cut off AGAIN!!! to finish the sentence.....

as for the drinking....I can't help you there as I am not one to give good advice in that area, especially given the fact that I enjoy my lite beer and red wine....just not together...LOL  Blessings, Chargail
