Sure, Mak1. It's not really called sugar cookie but I can't remember the name so that's what I call it. It's yummy and quick and easy to make too, so double bonus. It may take me a while to find it again but I will put it in the cookie thread when I do.

I haven't figured out how to do all those cool gifs but right back at you Mak1 and everyone else too!! I can't believe it, I got sick on Saturday with a bit of a cold flu type of thing. I was sick last Christmas too. Hasn't stopped me from eating goodies completely.

OK, I'm back but not back to full strength. Decided not to wake up at the butt crack of dawn today to exercise since I'm still low energy. Hopefully, I can do the bike and maybe the elliptical later. I gained 2 lbs since Friday. I'm ok with that but this is the last week I will be ok with gaining.

I usually get sick around Christmas too Denecee, rarely does it stop me from eating but this time it did, lost 5 lbs but have since gained 2 back..so I sit at 157lbs. I know you probably feel guilty if you don't exercise but you need to keep some energy for yourself if you're not feeling 100%...maybe just do it half as long...don't push. Most people in my family have gotten this stomach flu too so we had to postpone Christmas til tomorrow...Must.try.not.to.eat.everything.in.sight Good Luck with the scales everyone!

Thanks Cinnamongirl! I can't believe it because up until last Christmas, I had only been sick with the 24 hour flu bug once in my life. Was sick last Christmas and then again it October(right before I was leaving for a short vacation) and now! It's wierd but still not as bad as some people get the bug.

ok, Escapee, we had our indulgence, now it's time to start thinking about bikini weather! Does that help? LOL, I know I am planning on putting on a bikini in about 7 months and I'll be at a huge water park and would like to not stick out like a sore thumb. Plus 25 yr high school reunion is this summer so I have the motivation.

I am in avoidance mode with this thread/topic. I've been snarfing chocolates and chocolate-coated cookies and other crappola like a pigglet for the past couple of days. Eating an apple and cheese now, but it has lost its lustre compared to the bad bad stuff. I'd say save me save me, but am deep in the heart of badness right now and not ready to take the goodly leap yet.

Ate like I was on the verge of famine. lol .. I completely understand. It was like a free pass. I gained 4 pounds. Not happy about that but today I am getting back on track. What was working for me was .. no meat, no dairy and no wheat. So that's where I'm headed today! Good luck to everyone, I know we can do it!!

Well, I weighed last night out of curiousity, and I haven't gained....sweet. Slipped on a pair of jeans that are a 9 in juniors. Oh how nice to be in single digit pants...now if I can get to a seven, my heart will sing. OK, back on the wagon today (Have I mentioned I am still off of red meat?)

The past two weeks have been murder on me. At this time of the year there are soooooo many sweets floating around at work, it's really really hard avoiding them. Every direction I turned there would be more and more stuff. I did real good, I only ate 3 different things the entire time, of course they all had chocolate in them. Since I have switched to a diet of counting carbs and eating on a regular bases I have dropped over 50 pounds. It is getting harder and harder every day though. Some days I just want to grab a bag of chips and woof the whole thing down in one sitting. I'm hoping the will power I have discovered with watching what I eat works when I try to quit smoking, although I don't know if I can do them both simaltaniously.

I didn't count, but am pretty sure I consumed about 5,000,000 calories over the past week. I worked out yesterday and felt a bit sluggish with all the sugar flowing through my veins. Today I am almost back on track. I ate healthy meals except for one small piece of lasagna, but had too much dessert. I'll do even better tomorrow. Good work Jagger, Escapee and Denecee! Denecee, I hope you feel better soon. MameB, I hope you can kick the sugar again soon. You have been doing so well. Like Vacanick said, we CAN do this!
