Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / November 2003Amberle3's update & NSVs
Got so busy summarizing the challenges that I forgot to post my own update! I managed to lose the 2 pounds that I gained last week plus 1 more, bringing me down to 221 - I haven't been here since.. well I don't even know how long it's been. More than 5 years anyway. I'm greatly enjoying it. I'll enjoy even more when I'm finally back down to a Medium and can raid the many boxes of clothing I have stashed away. Got in 4 days of exercise last week, although I think that baking ought to count as exercise! It sure takes a lot out of you, and I'm pretty sore the next morning! At some point I'll count up how many dozens of cookies I've baked. I'm not going to get through all 20+ types that we had wanted to have made for next week, so I'll be baking more after the tour. I have 3 types that I want to get made today, and then I have to concentrate on cleaning! And yes, I will be posting the recipes - probably tomorrow. And I'm trying to increase the household cat count. There's a lovely all-black stray that's been hanging around the house for a couple of weeks. Now that it's getting quite cold I really don't want her (I'm assuming it's a her) having to live outside for the winter. I've managed to entice her just inside the house through window by placing food and water there. I can get her about 2 feet inside, but I can't get close enough to either get hold of her or close the window before she bolts. Her feet are all muddy and she's starting to get stuff caught in her fur, poor thing! My other cats don't seem to mind her at all - they see her in the window and just ignore her. Hopefully I can get her all the way inside before I leave next week! And I'm desperately trying to lose about 2 pounds (or an inch or so) for the tour next week, as we have our big Christmas banquet on Wednesday and I have a pair of pants that I'm dying to wear. I bought them at Herbergers on sale in the spring for something like $5. They're very nice tuxedo-style dress pants, with a satiny band across the top, and the legs are split at the sides about 3/4 of the way up and studded with rhinestones. Very cute. They had no hope of fitting when I bought them, but I was SURE that I'd get down into them at some point! I tried them on the other night and I can get them done up (NSV#1), but I'd like a little bit of room in them for comfort. If they're not suitable next week then I'll wear them when DF is here for Christmas and I make him take me out for dinner! NSV #2 was completely unexpected. I wear 3 rings - one that my DF bought me for my birthday shortly after we started dating, my engagement ring, and a coiled snake pinky ring. I stood up the other day and the pinky ring fell right off! No warning, no "gee this is loose" feeling. Just fell right to the floor. Fortunately the ring is easily adjusted, so I've squeezed it a little bit and it seems to be fitting better now, but now I'm wonderful how long it will be before I have to start worrying about my engagement ring!

If you can, I would wait until I see her in the window, then would go outside and approach the window from that direction and try to close it or block the exit. She might retreat into the house away from you. > Got so busy summarizing the challenges that I forgot to post my own > update! [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] > New Year, New You Weight Loss Challenge: > http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/nyny.htm I've been wondering about something like that - unfortunately the window is a basement window and it's located under the deck! If it were summer and the water wasn't frozen I'd be tempted to do a quick squirt with the hose. Maybe I can find/borrow a supersoaker or something like that... or another possibility is a large sheet of cardboard dropped down the narrow opening between the deck and the house blocking the window. Now that might work. Have to see about setting that up tonight. Amberle3 > I have two cats that were feral.

She is marked like a Jersey cow, ergo the name. She would sneak into the garage where I put the catfood. I was afraid to let the door down for fear I would squash her as she tried to take off. I finally got one of my dogs (totally cat friendly but she didn't know) and went outside and she hid behind the washing machine in the other side of the garage and I closed the door. It took 4 weeks to get her tame enough to come into the house. She still lets no one near but me. Today when we were doing the big dinner she disappeared until everyone was gone. My other cat Karma was easy. He is a boy, and really just walked right in and got comfortable the day he realized there was Food. He is in my lap now. They are so odd. She is fat like a football, he has kept his figure. They hunt together - go in and out my doggie door. He lets her eat first. She rarely eats cat food. > I've been wondering about something like that - unfortunately the window is a > basement window and it's located under the deck!

Prairie Roots >Got so busy summarizing the challenges that I forgot to post my own >update! [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] > >Amberle3 Congratulations on the great loss Amberle! All that cookie baking could be worth an AP or two, especially if you're mixing the dough by hand. You're arms would really get a good workout! I have a Kitchen Aid mixer, so my arms wouldn't get much. I've had surgeries on both wrists and hands, so they don't seem as strong any more as they were when I was younger. Sometimes they hurt quite badly, so I avoid putting any extra pressure on them.

[quoted text clipped - 61 lines] > New Year, New You Weight Loss Challenge: > http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/nyny.htm those are great NSV's, keep working on cat might take time and sometimes if you will just leave window open and ignore cat and leave room it will go findsomewhere to sleep so when you sneak back in room it won't have time to escape, my grandmother once put a heating pad under some towels to entice cat and it worked, cat ate and she left room when she came back cat was asleep on towels she shut door and poof indoor cat, Lee > Got so busy summarizing the challenges that I forgot to post my own > update!
