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 yet3 -

@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.3 -

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
I hope everyone enjoys their Monday and begins the week with positivity3 -
