    Hi Everybody!

    Had jury duty this week, so my exercise has been nearly zero. Did manage to drop a pound, but my measurements haven't changed. Looking forward to a sunny weekend so I can get outside and move!

    Oh, and Bru glad you are enjoying the membership, know what you mean about not using it as much if it wasn't a week free , but proud of you for taking full advantage of the time and hoping you get the funds (maybe from Santa??)

    Happy Birthday Barty!!!


    No loss again this week. :cry: I am still thinking it might be muscle, I am at the same weight even though I have been REALLY good. But now with the holidays coming up so fast I hope to just not gain!
    Hope everyone else did well on the scale.

    Truffles better stay out of my way!!! :angry:

    Happy Saturday friends!

    I cleaned up today before breakfast and then got on the scale to see a loss! 149! The lost was a little less than a pound. But the funny thing is that yesturday I got lots of yummy little gifts for the girls at the school. Cookies, truffles, toffee, more cookies, and I thought that I would pick the one I really wanted the most and give the rest away. To the man downstairs, to my kids and boyfriend, co-workers, anyone who will take em! But anyway I chose to eat a homemade chocolate toffee with almonds. IT WAS SO GOOD! But the day after I logged the extra 850 calories I had a loss on the scale that has been fairly stuck the last two weeks? WTF?

    Did some awesome covert Christmas shopping yesterday (BIG shout out to the guy working the video game department in Target last night!!). On the way home decided to hit one last spot, a consignment type store right off OSU campus. It's kind of a trendy pllace and I've never been in there before but I've been struggling with the NYE dress thing, so what can it hurt, right? I ended up buying an pretty little black dress, that still has the original tags on it... for $16!! :love: Spending today finishing the tree & hanging out with my little one.
    Hope everybody is having a fabulous productive weekend!

    Dec 1: 142
    Dec 7: 142.25
    Dec 13: 138.6
    Dec 19: 141.75

    Hey guys. I've started logging food again. I'm back up to 141, zooming towards 142 fast. *lol* Tomorrow I'm going to start exercising again and getting back to eating right. I think I've consumed more butter and sugar in the last week than I've had a whole two months previous. I really hope I can work back down past 140 again before Christmas.

    Today is the last day of moving. I hate moving!!! I spent an hour trying on clothes to see what to box with what. I'm going to have to either store or get rid of a bunch of clothes. Since a lot of them are really ugly, I think I know which one I'd rather do.

    Good morning everyone. Well, I survived the 2 Christmas parties this weekend with no damage. Stayed under my calories and the only thing I ate that was on my no-no list was 2 bites of warm, delicious chocolate cake. :happy:

    Well, this is the final countdown until Christmas and I have a million things to do, as I'm sure the rest of you do too. The most time consuming thing is to make 4 dozen cake pops for a friend. Why did I agree to do that? :noway: Too much to do and too little time.

    Well, here's my weekly check-in. I have to say I am so proud of myself this month. I really thought this month was going to be a bust but I've been very diligent with keeping track of my calories. I'm sure I'll show a gain next week but my goal is still to make the 5 lb challenge.

    Dec 1 - 194.8
    Dec 6 - 192.0
    Dec 13 - 188.8
    Dec 20 - 187.2

    Loss of 7.6 for this month so far. Let's see what I end up with on Dec 31st.

    Have a great week everybody and have a blessed holiday season.
