    I am impressed by the few of you who are continuing to post daily and do the mini challenge. More of us should be as committed and organized!!

    We pick up our son today from the airport. Originally I thought he was coming in at 9:40 pm, but that is his return flight. He arrives at 4:15 pm instead! Good thing we checked, and good thing my husband scheduled all his meetings for the morning! We'll leave the house around 3 pm to drive to Toronto.

    Tracked yes
    Calories no
    Exercise yes

    I held a family get together and although I didn't eat as much as I usually do, i still managed to over eat. It is crazy how much you take in as calories without realizing it, seven when you are careful

    Sunday no
    Monday yes
    Tuesday yes
    Wednesday no

    I think once the next week or so is done I will be working on a new streak because for now forward I won't be making as much progress

    Eaten really badly this week but I've been super active and let's face it, once the calorie counting is in you, you roughly know the damage you're doing when you go rogue! Expect a gain next week but hopefully not too badly (I am going cheese shopping this morning so we'll see!)

    To a lot of peoples points: I think many of us may have a little gain next week. But that makes all of the hard work ahead of time worth it. We all deserve to enjoy moments like holiday parties and vacations!

    I have a busy couple of days ahead of me. I will be entering weights, but maybe not too much time for commenting. We picked our son up from the airport last night...so great to have him home for four weeks! Well, at least in Ontario for four weeks; he does have plans to travel to see some of his friends. But this morning, both of my (grown) sons are home and sleeping in their bedrooms. It warms my heart!!

    Starting weight on 7/25/2018: 309
    September start weight: 290
    October start weight: 279
    November start weight: 264.7
    December start weight: 254.8
    -————————————-
    Previous Week's weight: 248.9
    Today's Weight: 249.1

    :(. This is my first gain in a very long time. Granted, it’s basically a maintain, but still. The only consolation I have is I did absolutely everything I could correct. Drank lots of water, stayed under calorie goal, worked out, slept well. I guess it’s time for me to experience this whole non linear mumbo jumbo everyone talks about, lol

    I’m sure next week will show improvement. I’m enjoying the holiday events but trying to find non food enjoyments because after all, eating tons of stuff because of “some event or reason” is the way I got overweight. I’m finding being with friends and family, and staying on plan, is much more rewarding than stuffing my face.

    You said all the right things, Mike. Your intelligent brain knows you did everything right, and it appears you have your heart convinced as well!! I love that you have found what works for you and that you are embracing it. Your success on the scales week in and week out is evidence of that!!
