Hey all! Dragging butt getting back here after the business trip. Will be back to catch up with the posts. As for the trip, I will leave you with this....pretty much sums up how I did...needed lots of comfort food, and a beer or two, to get me through it...

Hi Guys, Hammer's Holiday Mile Challenge is just what I needed! Both Our (The Hub & my) Daddies are now on Hospice with end-stage dementia. Although my eating has been on-point, my "money-maker moving" has taken a back seat. Jumpin' back on the wagon today. Thanks John, for the timely motivation! Xoxo

Finally caught up on the previous weeks thread. Seems I was born a week behind in everything.

Amy, Thanks. It is funny with my dad, even though he was filled with badness back in his Marine days, he still is all Marine and filled with pride over those days. It stays with them:) I definitely grew up with it...right down to how you properly made a bed! haha

Heron, Lucas is gorgeous. My heart is always touched when I read your posts about your fosters. It is beautiful what you and Arturo do for them. Bless you both! That 2 pound gain was due to mega muscle I am holding off trying any diets. Easing myself into eating better for now. Sorry about the stiff neck. I have had one since Wednesday with some body aches. Feel like I may have been fighting a bit of an illness. It is better today. Hope you are well.

John, Love your consistency and am learning from you. Congrats on your success and for sticking with healthy living:)

Did a little walk this morning to get it out of the way. Think that will be it for the day since it is the boyfriend's birthday and want to hang with my love. Cake to bake. Realized I bought him the wrong video game yesterday, so I need to head out again. Ugh! I despise shopping around the holidays. Drove around a parking lot for 15 minutes yesterday because it was so busy and I didn't want to park behind the building. Learned my lesson years ago when I was mugged getting into my car. Happened in the blink of an eye. Be careful out there!
