Thursday Check In Group - December 24th

Hi there my Thursday friends. I'm so sorry I've been slacking here. I'm in Ottawa right now visiting with my daughters and well ... eating way way way too much. But loving every minute of being here. I'm not near a scale so I'll have to check that out next week. I've been sick for a couple of weeks now but I'm doing much better ... but the cough is lingering. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Talk to you all soon. xoxo

Hello ladies! I haven't been able to get on for a while, missed last check-in. I was down 3 lbs as of 12/24. Of course I am sure that it will be back up come this Thursday. I couldn't resist those Christmas cookies over the holidays. I made about 6 dozen to take to my mother's house and didn't touch one until I got there and as soon as I opened the box I caved. Didn't follow my plan or count cals for like 3 days. I am not going to feel guilty. I just keep telling myself. "It was Christmas" lol.
Had a funeral to go to last night, A friend of mine that I hadn't seen in about 5 years died, She was only 28 years old and had 3 little girls ages 7, 5, and 3. Very sad. From what I was told, she got envolved in some heavy stuff over the last year. Her husband found her under the Christmas tree 3 days before Christmas. They think that it was an accidental overdose. I am still in shock, Last time I saw her she was working 2 jobs and had just bought her first home. She seemed on top of the world. She really wasn't the type to get into that kind of thing. I guess it can happen to anyone.
Well I hope everyone had a great holiday. Anyone got any New year's resolutions planned out yet? Mine last year was to lose 100 lbs. I have acheived that goal. I think for the next year I am going to toss out the cigarettes. Crossing my fingers and hoping I kind stick with this one. Hope everyone is having a good week. Talk again soon!
