Anyone ready to ring in the new year...and lose weight/get fit?

My kiddo had walking pneumonia this year, no fun. I'm sorry to hear that everyone is feeling so bad. Bronchitis hurts, and I hope you feel better soon, Goodeggs.

I'm suffering from a different situation, overeating. I'm exercising at least 6 days a week with cardio and weight training, but I can't seem to stop eating. The big kiddo turned 13 today, so we went out to dinner last night....buffet, very little healthy food and that's not what I picked. All the healthy stuff was cold, and I couldn't stand the thought of eating cold food; I haven't been warm enough in days. Also the dear boy asked for Tres Leches Cake for his birthday cake. The cake has 6 eggs, then has a glaze of cream, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk poured over it (the three milks) and then is frosted with whipped cream. Mind you the boy could eat the whole thing himself, but by 6 tomorrow night he is off with the boy scouts for camping. Any of you know how to pack a milk soaked cake for transport to camp?????? I think a bunch of boyscouts on a 25* night could use the calories, I know I can't.

yipe! our scouts wait for the coldest months to camp. Their shoes freeze over night-can't keep the stinky things inside tent apparently.

Celebrations are meant to celebrate. Start back today. One week of 'uh-ohs' doesn't mean you have to quit. we are the flexible weight watchers. Right?

have you had your thyroid checked?
I think everyone over 45 needs to have that done, like every four years or so.
 
If you can't send the cake with the scouts, perhaps there's a neighbor who's been thoughtful to you lately? A friend? Take over the remains (arrange nicely on a pretty plate that you don't mind never seeing again). "Just because".

Cake is my downfall. I pass the discounted shelves at Wal-Mart and can't stop from looking at the small cakes and breads there. Bread I can survive without (usually get it for Hubby's meals) but the cakes ... ay yi yi! I can eat a whole cake in one day. And have. Recently.

Yup. I also have an over-eating problem! And a cake-addiction.
 
Oh my goodness! I try so hard to stay away from the buffets and stuff. Golden Corral would just KILL me!!!!

I have this penny pincher in me, that if I pay for ALL I can eat... I'm going to eat until I'm SICK. LOL

I do hope everyone feels better... this has been a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE season for illness.

Buffets are my downfall too. Golden Corral, Country Buffet ... yowsers! CB has (had?) bbq beef ribs on Saturday so before I got married, once a month, I'd take my kid just late enough to pay for lunch prices (I'm cheap) but within a half hour, it was "dinner" and rib time! While I was waiting, I'd eat their crab salad with yeast rolls and lots of butter and dessert, because once those ribs came out, I'd eat until I couldn't move. There were times I could barely waddle to my car, with kid in tow.

Wonder if that's why he refuses to eat beef now?

Hmmm.

Nobody here eats at buffets because one time Sizzler had a hugehugehuge lawsuit in Australia because employees were putting rat poison in the food. So it's actually become almost a slang around here that buffet is synonomous with 'rat poison'.

My point being, you should come here for a holiday! Not only is it warm but you'd only need 3 or 4 bites before you'd be sick!!
