    I am back for Round 23. I've been logging my calories every single day, but it hasn't been easy. I'd forget until the last minute. I'd do it though, and I never missed a day. Both of my sons' had really messed up birthdays this last round. My oldest turned 14 and my youngest turned 9. For 3 weeks we were at the hospital with Mom, and the day after our sons' made it through their birthdays (which are 4 days apart), Mom passed away. We've been in Missouri laying her to rest. It has been incredibly hard, and it is going to take some time to get back into the swing of things. Cancer is an ugly beast. I don't want her in pain or suffering anymore, but how I miss her so very much. We spoke every single day. Sometimes it was about her grandchildren, about her health, about the weather, what we were making for dinner, or what we did that day. I'm going to miss those talks most of all. Everyone keeps saying I will get adjusted to the new normal, but I'm not liking it at all right now.
    I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks @quiltingjaine for sending a message to check up on me. You knew what had happened without me saying a single word. You just noticed my absence. I appreciate that you reached out with your support and condolences. It means so much. You're the reason why I'm back this morning...doing these challenges again.

    Round 23 SW: 166.8
    GW: 166
    UGW: 125

    11/19 166.8 After a week on the road and living in a hotel to lay Mom to rest.
    11/20 167.6 Housework all day
    11/21 167.6 Back to work for the first time since Mom's been gone. It was a really hard day for me, and I just wanted to come back home.
    11/22 166.8 Going ahead with Thanksgiving preparations for Mom's side. I don't really feel like celebrating, but I need to do this for her.

    You've been missed. Thank you @quiltingjaine for checking up on our girl. :smile:

    Thank you.

    11/19 - 150 meh...
    11/20 - 149.4
    11/21 - 149.4 - not too bad considering TOM came calling yesterday...
    11/22 - 149.8 - I'd hoped to lose a bit to get a cushion between the 140's and Thanksgiving but...alas, it is not to be thanks to TOM. Oh well...not gonna let it rain on my punkin pie.
    11/23 - 148.8 - there's my cushion...a little motivation to control myself somewhat today so it doesn't completely evaporate.
    11/24 - 148.8 - Went over calories of course because the there was pie in the room, but did the elliptical before dinner, took a walk after dinner, and drank at least a gallon of water.

    @nikki062181 I am so touched by your words. I think I did what friends do. I’m only sorry it took me so long to message you. I would think about you but be in the middle of something. I told you we lost my FIL 25 years ago. There are still things that make me cry even after all these years - a remark he made in his hospital bed with all of the family gathered round and singing Amazing Grace, his favorite hymn - but there is a New Normal, as you said. You will find it. Cherish the memories.

    Absolutely no need to feel sorry. You were a lifeline when I didn't know that I needed one to get me back on track. You don't know how much I appreciate you.

    Sorry for your loss, it's a difficult thing at a difficult time. Try and enjoy those around you and recall all the greatness of your Mom and memories of her around the holidays.

    Thank you. I really appreciate that.

    Thank you very much.

    RD 21- Avg Weight: 121.1
    RD 22- Avg Weight: 119.8
    RD 23- goal avg weight: 119.8

    I have 2 thanksgiving meals to go to this round and my cousin's wedding, so my goal is to maintain the same average weight this round as last round.

    11/19: 119.8- This is a jump up of a lb from yesterday, but I'm really feeling my strength workout from yesterday so I think that is contributing a bit to the increase.
    11/20: 120.4- Eating wasn't great yesterday as I bought my nemesis, tortilla chips, at the store.
    11/21: 119.4- Not excited to see the scale tomorrow I had movie theater popcorn for the first time in 6 months. And it wasn't even as good as I remembered!! :'(
    11/22: 119.8- Well it went up but it could have been worse. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to the turkey and mashed potatoes.
    11/23: 119.8- Mashed potatoes yum
    11/24: 119.4- I had a wonderful Thanksgiving #1 with my family. I ate all my favorites but logged it and tried to not stuff myself. I'm off to Thanksgiving #2 with the in laws today. They have deep fried turkey.

    Currently averaging: 119.77

    GW 209.9 (i realize this is a lot but i'm excited to see this number so why not try!)


    11/19 - 214.3 - up. Im not sure why. Maybe there was a lot of salt in the meal my sister in law made last night.

    Gym and kickboxing today. And groceries. Cooking yummy jerk chicken in the slow cooker. This week i will be doing a lot of exercise so i am excited to see the results!

    11/21 - 214.6 - up.. maybe due to salt.
