    Good morning!

    Ooon Kate, your week sounds wonderful! You deserve a break! Enjoy.

    We had a nice dinner with friends. It is nice to be a little social once in a while, during a pandemic! :)

    Relaxing Sunday here. Drinking coffee and watching the news.

    Have a great day and see you all soon.

    I had a nice day. The best part was that I had time for everything. The next couple of days will be a bit busy, but not frantic or rushed. And then I will have plenty of time to catch up. Time is so precious. It is what I am most thankful for.
    Have a nice week! Stay healthy!

    I had a shocker of a Friday 13th, and it's taken me a while to get back on board!

    Running training tonight, followed by Highland dancing. I borrowed a set of swords from a dance friend, so I'll be trying those in the sword dance tonight - it's rather tricky!

    On the menu today is Greek yoghurt and berries, prawn laksa leftovers, and a stir-fry with edamame tonight.

    And I am officially on Thanksgiving break! Whew! Going to sleep. A lot.
    @melaniecheeks I am glad you are back on track! I hope all went well with the swords!
    @Meghan509 I hope you are enjoying your time off!
    Se y'all later! Stay healthy!

    Good morning all!

    I can't believe it is already Wednesday!!
    Things are good here. Been getting some shopping done. Cleaning, not so much! :D

    We are cooking a small turkey breast here tonight, for ourselves. Tomorrow is some type of fish. Tis the season to be eating! LOL

    Hello to you all and see you soon. <3

    Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for everyone here, even those that don't post. You help me stay accountable and on track. Have a great end of the week! Stay healthy!

    Back on the fast train for me. I have a number I would like to be by New Year's Eve, but I am not sure I can hit it. We'll see. I can't believe that is just around the corner! We are putting up our Christmas decorations today. My husband's birthday is tomorrow and my oldest's is on Thursday. Lots going on this coming week! I hope you all have a good one! Stay healthy!

    Happy belated Thanksgiving!

    Happy Monday!

    Hope your husband had a nice birthday, @KateNkognito! I noticed our local radio station has moved to all Christmas songs all the time! Fine by me. LOL

    We had a really nice week off. Our turkey breast came out really nice last Wednesday. We had a nice salmon meal at my BF's parents house on Thanksgiving day. All good.

    Back on track today. But I sure did enjoy the stuffing, I have to say! :D

    Have a great day and see you all soon. :)

    Back to work and fasting today. The mashed potatoes and gravy get me every year. :)
    @Meghan509 I am glad you had such a nice week.
    Off to do the massive amount of homework I put off last week. Who's idea was it to take a job that requires a master's degree? Don't answer that.
    Have a great week! Stay healthy!

    Good morning!

    Thanks, @KateNkognito! LOL a Masters Degree will be awesome for you! You got this. ;)

    Things are good here. Fully back on track. Started adding some more veggies to my day, as of yesterday. Which means a little more carbs per day, but all good. Looking to get some more fiber in!

    Working from home today and then popping in to the office for the AM tomorrow.

    Hope everybody has a great day. See you soon.

    Just realized I haven't been on here since Monday! Where did the week go? My son's birthday is today. Seventeen years old. Time really flies! I hope everyone had a nice week! Stay healthy!

    Happy Friday!

    Hope your son had a great birthday, @KateNkognito!

    All good here. Up a little via today's weigh in, but honestly haven't been feeling that well this week. :( Been dealing a week long migraine and women's stuff going on. Sigh... This too shall pass.

    Tomorrow we will get snow in parts of New England! Down here in southern New England, mostly just rain and a mix expected. Will be a quiet Saturday for sure.

    Have a nice weekend. See you soon!

    I have been in a weight loss slump lately. I think it is freaking me out that I have done so well. I need to wrap my head around this. Fat has kind of become a part of who I am. What happens when I am not fat anymore? You know? Going to make sure I am fasting and doing what I should, in spite of my mental freak out.

    @Meghan509 We got that storm system a couple of days ago. Enjoy your days in with a good book and a warm blanket!

    Off to go finish up my homework for the semester. If I am a good girl, there is some TV I want to watch. :) Have a nice weekend! Stay healthy!

    Good morning and happy Monday all!

    @KateNkognito, I hear you about a slump. I have been in a bit of one myself.
    Weight is definitely mental as well. I always felt invisible as a "big girl" and I find it amusing now that I am thinner, people seem to be friendlier and notice me more. I am still the same person as I was before, sigh. Makes you think... :|

    Feeling better and finally headache free as of Saturday mid day. Ugh. We had some rain and wind on Saturday that ended by around 3pm which was nice. I prefer not to be cooped up inside on the weekends, if possible!

    Have a great day and see you soon!

    I worked from home today. It was nice. I got all but my last assignment done, and I am going to do that in a wee bit. Fasting today was good. I was starving at lunch time, so I made that my meal for the day instead of dinner.
    @Meghan509 Glad the storm and your headache passed. All the crazy weather lately has been killing my head, too.
    Have a great week, all! Stay healthy!

    Hey, all! Sometimes Tuesday is Monday's evil twin. :s Glad it wasn't a fast day because I would not have made it through today without lots of carbs and chocolate. I hope everyone else had a well-behaved Tuesday! Stay healthy!

    Good morning!

    Hope you guys are well! Last couple of days (including today) have been crazy at work! :s

    I am in the office today for a few hours. Getting some stuff done here.

    WOE is going well.

    Hope those carbs and chocolates are being kind today, @KateNkognito! :)

    Have a great day and see you all soon.

    Today was a good day fast wise, but busy life wise. If I can make it to about this time a week from now, I will be able to collapse and sleep for about 15 hours. Straight. That is IF I make it. LOL
    @Meghan509 I hope things settle down for you!
    Everyone stay healthy!

    Good morning!

    Yes, yesterday was similar for me, @KateNkognito. Good WOE wise but crazy life wise. :) Today seems to be a little better. Hoping for the best!

    Tomorrow is weigh in day. I think I should hopefully see a loss! Feeling pretty good. No migraine, thank God! :D

    See you all soon. Have a great day.

    It literally just dawned on me that it is December 10th and this is still the November thread! :D December is sneaky! Oh, well, it is what it is.

    @Meghan509 Good luck on your weigh in!

    Off to do the adulting thing. See you all later! Stay healthy!

    There, I made it say November/December. That makes my OCD feel better. LOL

    Hi all!

    OMG I didn't even notice that we were still on the November thread, @KateNkognito!! Jeez... LOL
    Thank you for fixing! I am a little OCD about that too!

    Weigh in went well today, thanks. Down 1.8 lbs. :)

    All good here. Looking forward to the weekend and it being FRIDAY!

    See you all soon....

    Longest Friday at the end of the longest week... but I didn't scarf the two chocolate coated granola bars that are in my purse. I kept to the fast. Now I am going to go to sleep and forget it all happened.

    Congrats @Meghan509! That is a good loss!

    Stay healthy, y'all!!

    All good here. About to go visit my BF's family and have dinner.

    See you soon!

    Good morning and happy Monday!

    Hope everybody is off to a great week. The home stretch is here. Christmas / New Year's vacation starts on Friday for me. :)

    Have a good one and see you all soon.

    Just another manic Monday. This week is going to be crazy busy, but then I just have two easy days next week and then winter break.
    Enjoy your time off Meghan!

    Good morning!

    Hoping Monday wasn't too manic, @KateNkognito!

    Today is going well. Not as crazy busy, which is nice! Have a good day all. See you soon.

    Hey! Quick question: Does anyone use a fasting tracker app? It would be nice to be able to see how long I have been fasting that day, what my history has been lately, etc.
