Today, I hope to get a lot of cleaning done. The kids have a dentist appointment. Tomorrow, number 2 has an eye appointment and I have to get to Costco...hoping to make it right at 10 when they open.
I'm tired just reading this! Hang in there, kiddo - date night is going to be lovely.4 -
So I'm up a bit this week, but that's to be expected. I've been retaining since about last Thursday, although I've kind of kept it to a minimum

My boys are traveling, so I've been baking up a storm and bringing everything to work. Sometimes I hardly eat any of what I've made, but then there have been some days where it's tough to resist. Maybe I should go back to no baking for my own good!5 -
There is all together too much baking! Stop - you're making me hungry!!
OK - I'll calm down. Wednesday weigh-in list - you're up!

My son is here! Yay. I had big plans for Thanksgiving prep today, but that didn’t happen. More to do tomorrow. At least I don’t work until next Monday! And did I mention my son is here?!

Weigh In Day: Wednesday
PW (Previous Weight): 155.2
CW (Current Weight): 153.4
I'm pretty happy with this nearly 2 lb loss... especially after all of the traveling we've been having to do and eating out. My plan for tomorrow is to eat all the stuff. I'm not counting calories tomorrow, but I'm going to listen to my body and stop when I'm full. And then instead of eating leftover baked goods for a week, I'm leaving them at my mother-in-laws house. I don't need it. And I don't need it tempting me. I love the progress that I'm making and ready to keep moving forward!6 -
Cw is 220.5 yippee! @jugar and in other news I've started making wire wrapped jewelry for fun (and have been selling it too). I think having such a crafty Hobbie is really helping me ❤️ here's an example of what I'm making!
I hope everyone out of the US has a lovely Thanksgiving 😊

I expected that, with all the food I ate this week. After tomorrow, I need to focus on staying within my calorie limit. No more eating sweets at work. The crazy thing is, tomorrow is Thanksgiving (in the US) and then we have our work Christmas party in 3 weeks. This time of year is always hard for me to not eat sweets and lots of food.6 -

@AshenMoon your jewelry is beautiful! You're right that making things with our own hands is extremely satisfying. Let us know if you have a site where you sell things or anything like that
I hope that all of you visiting family and enjoying Thanksgiving have a wonderful day tomorrow. @micki48 I'm so glad that your son is visiting! Enjoy every minute. And no work until Monday!
Hats off to @alydanbeads and @AshenMoon for good losses! It sounds like your planning is working well. WTG!

Thank you! I do have an etsy shop up and running! I add new stuff in weekly ❤️ https://www.etsy.com/shop/GorgesWireDesign2 -
Hi everyone! The other day my granddaughter, Juliet, got me on my mat for Pilates. She loves to do it with me. I didn’t want to but how could I say no to her, right? Well, today, I started the day on my mat. So I guess I needed that little push to get me back on.
I roasted sweet potatoes to prep for my casserole tomorrow, made coleslaw, prepped veggies, cooked sausage and mushrooms for stuffing and made a pumpkin pie. Hubby and I took a 45 minute walk. Barely made it to the park before sunset because traffic was so bad. Then, we took a path that was way longer than I thought. Feel proud of the exercise I squeezed in to this busy day.
@AshenMoon Love your creations. 🥰 Some great losses I’m seeing. Hope everyone is
having a good week. Happy Thanksgiving US friends! 🦃
Wew! MFP Crashed on my phone and thought I lost this.5 -
Sounds like a lovely day @micki48 and I am so glad Juliet got you back on your mat! Thank her for me

Well my appetite is doing better. We just had parent teacher conferences and sometimes those are just hard. We have 400 preschoolers and they either have special needs or they are low income. When I say low income, I mean very low income. So many people just struggle to parent. Working with families to remember to change their child's overnight diaper before coming to school. It's winter so your child needs to wear socks, coats, hats and gloves. We needed to make reports to child protective services due to injuries to a child. Just a lot of that kind of stuff this round. I have not been exercising and I ate. Deep breath...We have a staff of 12 ladies at work who basically function as social workers and help our families connect to resources, get food and clothing and develop parenting skills. At least these kids have eyes on them. Sorry for the rant 😅 can't keep that stuff in.
It's Thanksgiving and my mother in law and I are doing our traditional menu. We have our specific dishes we each make so the meal comes together quite easily after many years of practice. My youngest is still under the weather and has a fever this morning. I might swing into urgent care because I wonder if he has an ear infection. The rest of the long weekend will be relaxing and getting back on track.
My Christmas decorations are up. I have a little bit of sewing to finish up the guinea pigs Christmas cage. Then I will decorate the piggies room. From Monday on I'm all about Christmas at work. I have a big stack of Christmas themed activities planned: Christmas tree decorating bin, cookie decorating bin with moldable sand, a mini hot cocoa stand activity with piggy banks and two gingerbread themed sensory bins (red/green and pink/purple/land of sweets). From here on out I'm going to my happy zone!7 -

@lauren_989 That's the cutest Turkey Trot photo of the day, hands down! You two are looking great.
I saw this one today - holiday standard time!

Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends! Bills won.. so life is good here. Love the turkey trot photo @lauren_989
Hope you're having a great time with your son @micki48
@conleywoods Wow.. that's a lot between what's going on at school and illness at home. Your Thanksgiving dinner collab sounds lovely.. hope it was a nice meal
Brad had today off and made us a full Thanksgiving dinner. We like any excuse to celebrate and he loves the football. It was a nice meal after a long work day. He vacuumed too and made the bed. He is just too lovely.
The last two work days have been so busy that I didn't get to take my lunch break to walk. Not ideal. I've been too wiped at night too. Otherwise things have been pretty good - my weigh in was up today but that was down overall from where it was during the week. It's disappointing but I can make progress this week.4 -
It is time for the big Friday lineup - get ready:
@EvMakesChanges
@micki48

All is forgiven in advance for anyone needing it! I am sure everyone will get back on track - just remember that you start creating your week 5 weigh-in right after this one gets recorded 2
