    You didn't get your exercise in, but I bet you did scratch some things off your to-do list!! And you ate at a deficit, so, a good day!!

    Yes, I dropped off my son's 2017 business info to his tax accountant this morning. So glad to be done with that! Then went out and had a lovely lunch at a small French restaurant with my son. Did not count calories, but I didn't do too bad. Anyway, I'm ready to turn my attention to more important things now, like, weight training and gardening!

    Good morning, team. I've got a Question for you. For those of you celebrating Easter this coming weekend, what are your plans? If there are to be family get-togethers, do you have a plan? Log what you eat or not? Indulge, or in moderation?

    March week 4
    Username: miroller
    Weigh-in Wednesday
    Last week: 175.4
    Today: 177.4

    Disappointed to see the gain but to be expected. Tried to use Sunday-Tuesday to balance out last week's birthday indulgences but that strategy didn't quite work. Wish I was finishing up the month with another loss but oh well on to April!!

    Hey, it happens. Was it your birthday? I hope we didn't miss it!! You may not be ending March with a loss, but you can definitely start April with one!! Sunday to Tuesday continues.....

    Just an FYI, for those of you continuing onto the April challenge (which I hope is everybody!!!). The April thread is now up. We will officially head over there on Sunday, but in the meantime, pop over and introduce yourself to the new members. I am suggesting we do this now, as some of us may be busy over Easter weekend.

    Weighed on Friday 3/23 - 177.5
    Back down from 180 last week.
    I made it to the gym 4 days and golfed 9 holes on Friday and 18 yesterday.

    This was my first challenge I am planning on having a great final week of this challenge and I am really looking forward to Aprils!

    Nice job, Jen, on losing your gain from last week!! Four days to the gym and 36 holes of golf...that's a very nice activity level!! I know the golfers in my house (my husband and son) would be jealous to hear that you are golfing already (or still, depending where you are). Some years we can be golfing by now, but not this year. Estimating three more weeks.

    Looking forward to April as well!!

    We are in Northern California, so some years we can golf year round - Lucky we know!

    I've asked for fluffy socks instead of chocolate eggs..

    We have a week away from tomorrow, and even though I will have less controll over what foods are available, or the exact caleries in meals - I plan to TRY my best, and be active..
    Hopefully the venue has improved it's WiFi this year - or I'll be doing my updates from tea shops..

    Devon - here we come :)

    So, Easter plans....I am picking up my pies from the bakery and my meat from the butcher today. I decided on pork, as the turkey at Christmas gave me fits, and it is still too soon to revisit for me! I need to do some major house cleaning today. Tomorrow we have Mass, then some more house cleaning and I will set the dining room table. My one son can't be here and no one has a "plus one" this year, so all nine of us will fit in the dining room, which I am excited about. Usually the "under 25" crowd has to sit at the kitchen table. Our dinner is on Saturday. I will not be logging (I never do on special occasions) and I will have some of everything, (including dessert) but I won't stuff myself. It seemed to work for me last weekend. Then, once Easter is over and we turn the calendar to April, I need to focus on myself and come up with a plan!!! If you don't have a plan to succeed, then you should plan on failing! You need a plan for success, otherwise it is only a wish!!

    Enjoy your getaway, Em! Yes, just try to make good choices and be as active as you can! Do what you can to check in with us, but don't go to great lengths....you are on vacation, after all!! And the fluffy socks will last much longer than the chocolate eggs. Good choice!!!
