    My husband's grandmother died yesterday. She was 95. Don't let the thread die while I am adulting through a funeral at which I was asked years ago to sing. I'll try to pop in anyway, but I don't even know when the funeral is yet.

    Very sorry for your family's loss

    I need cheesecake. Death brings out every dysfunction in a family. Off to get haircuts for my boys.

    Sorry for the loss. I saw your comment in the other thread but really didn't know what to say. It just sounds terrible!

    No pictures since none of it was exactly pretty. I had two cups of hot spiced cider, lunch was a cheesesteak and home-brewed birch beer (a Ren Faire staple) because lines were insane at some of the more exciting places, but I also had Irish nachos (potato chips/thin fries with cheddar, sour cream and chives). And then I ate an entire apple strudel with salted caramel ice cream. :p

    I can't stop eating all the chocolate today. I've had an awesome piece of dark chocolate, a chocolate chip cookie, and a piece of chocolate cake, as well as chocolate creamer in my coffee! :neutral:

    Irish nachos...i could go for that, even if I did marry a Welsh guy.

    I've been super on track all year except for the past 3 months I was in a play. It was all high-energy, dancing, jumping, lifting other dancers etc. It took ALL MY TIME. I was at work from 9-5 and play rehearsal from 6-10 every night. So, I decided the best way to get the calories and protein I needed was to eat a fast food hamburger every night before rehearsal (because I was too lazy to plan ahead and pack my own dinner!)
    I easily maintained my weight for those 3 months even with all the junk I was eating thanks to the amount of movement the play required, but I immediately noticed the negative consequences following closing night.
    I took a break and almost immediately slid right back into old habits of not counting my calories or doing any exercise. I told myself I deserved a break but it has just taught me that I can't give an inch or I'll take a mile (or ten).
    Don't get me wrong, I had SO much fun taking part in the play. It definitely made me live outside my normal comfort zone and I made a TON of new friends. However, it's time to get my act back together. I'm back on track drinking tons of water and cutting out the fast food and am upping my daily activities and feeling more like myself.
    Here's to constant vigilance and a reminder to myself that I LIKE being active! (Ugh, why is it so hard to remember that some mornings?)

    I can't do any type of jumping jacks or running without my belly smacking the top of my thighs. It's really embarrassing. Going to talk to a surgeon about a panniculectomy. Three kids and yo-yoing between 140 and 252 a few times wrecked my belly.

    I started my weight loss journey heavier than the 252 I know the pain!! I am down 30lbs but I think I'm going to look for some sort of tummy wrap to help hold it in while I'm in the fitness classes... It is a pain.. Hopefully one day I will be down enough weight to also talk to my dr. about having the surgery to remove the skin..

    Constant vigilance. Not that I am practicing what I preach this week. Or even the last month. I vow to be back in the gym after the funeral tomorrow.

    It's normal to fall off the wagon a bit. I've found I have to stop thinking of this as something I'm doing "until I get to goal" and rather something I'm teaching myself to do for the rest of my life, so it's okay to have an extra cookie now and then, but I can't go crazy because I now understand that's how all the unwanted weight got there in the first place. And it's totally not going to help me learn to arm balance in yoga. ;)

    I totally agree with this. Its a lifestyle change. And when I have cheesecake, etc. its not an invitation to just eat everything under the sun. Gain a few...focus on losing it immediately. It creeps on fast, it falls off really slowly!

    Cheesecake makes everything better. One more day and then you can return to a more 'normal' situation. And hopefully move beyond the sadly lacking MIL.
