My first post here. Honestly I did pretty well during the holidays staying pretty close to my 205 goal weight. Lately the dead of winter has been getting me down. Walking with my doggo is more difficult and I’ve been snacking too much. I’m making the effort to get back to food logging, controlling portion sizes and calories more. Thanks for the inspiration in this community! I don’t want to go back to the old me.

Success of the week: I completed a major annual project at work. In two weeks I can certify to the State that it is complete. I only plan to do this project two or three more times before I retire. I also "invented" a delicious way to make bean patties.

Struggle of the week: My weight, while quite stable, is hovering a bit farther over my maintenance weight and weight range than I prefer.

Success/Struggle: Still slightly above goal (but in range). I was doing well at the beginning of the week but had a fantastic dinner with hubby celebrating our 54 wedding anniversary. It was very delicious and high in calories. Then we had the grandkids over for the weekend and my eating plans went on the wayside. It was fun days and no regrets. I just can't continue it. 😊
