It was nice to read all the posts on daughters. Mine is 19 too. Last summer instead of coming home she got a grant and we only saw her for a week. She and I did ok but I other family issues made it really stressful. This Christmas she brought home a friend but although it was alot of work it went well. I insisted on some mother and daughter time without the friend and things went great but then it wasn't so long or as stressed as the trips you are describing. I hope you don't mind me checking in when I can. It will take some adjustment to deal with this schedule. My mother-in-law is also coming next week. Lately for some reason I have been complimented on how healthy and fitter I look despite gaining and not being able to exercise. I think it is from this summer when I exercised and ate right even though I didn't lose I kept from gaining and was getting healthier and fitter. So I am not going to give up.

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Not quite
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Not quite
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I am answering for the whole week. On Tuesday my Aquafit teacher didn't show but some of us just took down the lanes and lead ourselves. This week despite my work schedule I was able to make meals at home.
What would I have done differently? I am going to try to fit in more exercise despite my crazy schedule.
What is today's personal goals? check in, exercise, water make healthy meals

GW at the end of the Winter 2014 check in? 229, My current goal is to get back to where I was before I started working so much.

for today, Saturday 1/11/14
(I like to check in at night after my day is done... slightly different than some of you do it)

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes, once again!
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes with a slight adjustment--exercised after work instead of before
What did I do today that I am proud of? Got on the treadmill and burned calories, even though I was very tempted to just be lazy on the couch
What would I have done differently? More veggies (again, like yesterday--I gotta get more veggies!!)
What is tomorrow's personal goals? Eat well, under calories goal and have plenty of veggies. The other thing is to rest my knee. During my run today it was really bothering me. I don't want to do anything to it that will harm me in the long run, so I am going to rest it. Only walking, no running for a while. If it is not better by next Sunday, I will go see my doctor.
