After some gentle reminders (ie… massive bitching and complaining for the angry hoards, lol)… the OTK Fantasy Football page has been updated! The regular season has just two weeks to go, and several teams are in a ‘Battle for the Paddle’ (the winner of the league win a nice football themed paddle). Having lots of fun too. You can click HERE for the update.

We had a fun Thanksgiving here and managed to stick pretty closely to our diet goals. Might have nudged a bit over our calorie goals for the day, but it couldn’t have been by much. But beyond that we did a good job of managing leftovers… especially the pies and sweets… so all in all, we’re real happy with the holiday week.

Not that the scale was happy. When you’re on a diet and kind of take a free day, it ~always~ shows up. Not that bad though and we are back on track.

Hard to believe that December is here now… and that we are now in the last month of the decade. It’s going to be a busy one too. Lots to do, and that does create diet challenges. When food decisions are last minute, they tend to be fast and unhealthy choices. We’re going to focus on wise decisions while grocery chopping to combat that.

It’s a tough month no matter how you cut it though and our goal is to maintain for the month.

Wish us luck!

Friends Update

Carye: Didn’t get an update from Carye this week… know this is a busy time of the year. We’ll catch up with her next time though.

Jean: Jean had an issue this week with eating every 3 hours… something she needs to do for her diabetes. It’s an issue she’s had in the past, but not the recent past. A once in a while slip is acceptable and understandable… but given that it is the holiday season and schedules get so hectic… it’s not something we want to see happening again. To help, Jean has to a new rule… she must carry a healthy snack option in her purse. That will allow her to always have the option of eating when needed.

Other than that one thing, Jean had a good week. She did really well with her testing too, which is nice to see. We’re still hoping to see Jean soon. Our Ocala party had to be pushed back to February… but we’ll figure out something before then.

_____

Courtney: Courtney has been a busy girl. This last week she was on the road… 14 hours in the car, one way. That’s a looong drive! Real easy to snack and drink caffeine too. Courtney was a good girl though and packed fruit for the trip which helped her stay on plan. She was good at Thanksgiving too.

A semi-normal week for Courtney coming up, but that will be the last one until 2010. Things get hectic again after that. She wants to take advantage of this last week… and we wish her lots of luck.

_____

N~ (from Living Domestic Discipline): N~ had an off week, several times missing goals. That’s pretty typical for many Americans during the holidays… but for N~, it means she’ll be getting spanked. She doesn’t want to get that spanking, and given that it is the holiday season… it seems reasonable to let her off the hook.

N~ is grateful that hubby K~ is being firm though. As hard as it is, she knows it’s what she needs. In no way does she want to slip back down the mountain she just climbed… and the holiday season is an easy time to start that slip. Better to stop it before it starts… and so the diet rules and consequences will remain.

Iggy (from Perceptions From the Edge): Iggy had a tough week. Her ankle injury has cost her time at work and that’s put her behind with bills… and that’s led to some cut backs both with groceries and taking a break from her online Weight Watchers subscription.

That makes sticking with the diet tougher, but Iggy is determined. Her focus right now is on finding economical food choice. We know exactly where she’s coming from… and extra bills at Christmas time don’t help. One thing that has helped us is buying fruit from a local stand… though don’t know that that’s an option in Northern Canada.

_____

Korey Johnson (from Spank Notes): No update from Korey this week. Suspect our naughty friend forget to send her Email in on time… but we’ll be sure to catch up next week.
