Love the cartoon; that is SO me.

Nothing good to report. I'm sure you've experienced this; gone up 4 lbs in like.. 3 days?
Impossible.

Although it might be that I'm still toting 4 lbs of (sorry) phlegm around.



Still on the mend; I haven't gotten back to doing much exercise. I'm trying to get completely over this crud.

I go to the doctor tomorrow for blood work for my thyroid and also for a biometric screening that is required for work with the wellness challenge I am doing.

Good luck, Joni, let us know how you made out!

Meanwhile as for me, I went "nuts with nuts" last night ... I was starving all day because, I believe, I had so much exercise early in the day. Then along came several nail-bitten hours trying to bring my laptop back from the edge of crashing... I succeeded... But between anxiety (need to crunch) and being starved, I ending up eating back almost all the calories I burned yesterday. My worst day on MFP so far!

However, the good news is that my total carbs for the day were still under goal ... which is very, very important for me so... Dusted myself off this morning and started over. And at least I weighed my overindulgence. That is a behavior I never would have done before. Even my binges have improved! AKA "I love my digital food scale."

Well done, learn and mxchana (I must catch my nicknames to real names chart up again, sorry :blush )! And a happy Valentines Day to everyone

I was digging around in my closet today to see if I had ANYTHING that would do for a wedding I can't get out of (no luck - everything is several sizes too big and I pretty much lived in jeans and shorts for years), but just for giggles I tried on the dress I wore when Rick and I got married 12.5 years ago. Holy Toledo - it fit!

@learntolive: Is your biometric screening for your wellness program awarded with a Visa Card? Ours is! $100! I am almost done except the biometric screen (they did them at work, but I was off then.) I see the doctor on Monday for mine! As part of our program, I also have a wellness phone coach and we work on stress relief. Is this like yours? The chair exercise and meditation classes I went to this week are also part of the program. We have all sorts of things.

The funny thing is that wellness program statistically don't work, but I like the convenience for classes and lab work and the $$$$. Did it last year, too! Have fun with your program.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! It's pretty cold here, and I'm watching my grandbabies today so their parents can all have a nice evening out. My Valentine is working so we'll celebrate after he gets home. It was a good week, but the scale didn't move.... better luck this week!

Thank you. I have mixed feelings about shopping for a new fancier outfit (it's been a LONG time), and since I have forgotten how to put panty hose on (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it), I'll probably go with something with pants. If my podiatrist didn't hunt me down and kill me for wearing heels first, I'd probably shoot myself after two hours anyway LOL

@ker95Marilyn, huge congratulations on your success.

Yesterday wasn't the best day of choices, but today will be better. We got a bit of snow last night. (just enough to look really pretty but not stop traffic) The sunshine on the snow is just beautiful, but it's too cold to go out. Off to a better week!
