    I feel off the wagon for a few weeks. I will weigh in the morning tocheck the damage When there is too much stress I just give up. I have not gotten food cravings back yet thankfully. I had parties here two weekends in a row, 3 major projects at work requiring me to work until 9pm almost every night for 3 weeks. I will be 60 next month. It's too much for me.
    So that's all done and now I have 28 coming for thanksgiving. Then hosting another party in December.
    I have joined agym but have not been there yet

    @MLHC1 I think anything can be counted as exercise. If you consider all the walking you did while shopping you got quite a bit in, just dogless.

    @cschmitz110515 It sounds like you had a great day! Congratulations on your loss too.

    @throckj33 Yes! 3 days of goal setting in a row.

    @dlm4mom Keep coming back. A quick 2 sentence note will help and doesn't take long. :) and 28 for dinner!? Have a good sleep afterwards.

    Nov 18: 187.4 -- Finally back to "before halloween"!! WHY does it take only a few days to gain a couple of pounds, but weeks to get it off!!!!

    Right?!? Well "they"'ve always said "a moment on the lips, forever on the hips" and all that. The great part I noticed is you are 30 less than January! Yay!

    Hey you got out plus look at all those smileys! Yeh--Friday was a good day--maybe picking up the slack from the rest of the week ? lol. Seriously, making a plan and putting it on this blog helps me stay accountable. Thanks for the note!

    Also Prepare homemade Chicken enchiladas
    Lunch
    Walk dog ~ 15 min.

    Cooking will consume most of my day today. My brother-in-law is coming this evening and he only eats white meat. Therefore I am preparing these two meals before hand so he has some to enjoy AND so I can take the day off from cooking tomorrow. It'll be like "the calm before the storm." Wednesday I have to begin my Thanksgiving preparation :smile:

    I hope everyone enjoys their Monday and begins the week with positivity :wink:
