Hubby feels better today - he even went outside to cut up the tree that fell two weeks ago with the snow. Kids were here for a bout 3 hours to eat and open gifts. I had meatballs in red sauce, pulled pork for sandwiches, fruit, potato salad and veggies, deviled eggs, etc. We will get together with them again tomorrow. I did not overeat by too much - at least I don't feel stuffed. Merry Christmas everyone.

Oh and I ate 4 pieces of homemade buttercream chocolate balls. They were small but I estimated them for 85 cal a piece but that’s okay. I wanted to eat some junk

Well I was missing in action yesterday. Sorry Team. The christmas party was very nice. But yesterday my pain was at an all time high. I was also having stomach issues so it was not pretty. I spend the day on the couch and in the bathroom. The pain is still bad today but I am up and I need to get moving. I can't be sitting on the couch all day for crying out loud it is christmas.


@Mrsbell8well i had a phantom smell in my house yesterday too. I could not find it. It smelt like garbage. I don't know what it was but after i finished cleaning up from the party it was gone. and you are so beautiful. I love your glasses.

@pacsnc6 yes! and the scale moves down. great job.

@mrsjas2000 happy belated birthday. thats just a small gain. so new year is coming and it is time to recommited to what your plan is to get this weight off and be healthy. 2019 is our year.

@twyla77 just a small gain. lets get thru christmas and then refocus.

@lenka1 what a cutie you are! lol your smallest tree is still bigger than my tree. my pain is in my bones and muscles. mostly in my back, shoulders, neck, wrists and ankles and feet. when the pain is really bad my skin becomes sore to the touch. i have ringing in my ears and no hearing loss. i have head aches and stomach issues that are from one extreme to the other. and i am losing my hair but other than that, I'm fine. lol.

@amsandos you look like a little christmas doll! owwwhhhh so cute. yup. in the new year i am giving up glueten and sweets and dairy.

@nstephenson01 No, my pain doesn't seem to coincide with the weather. I haven't been able to pin point any cause and reaction. I know the less i move the worse i feel but it is so hard to move when it hurts.

@ljdanny yayayay your on vacation. that is a great time to get in some reading. and self help books are the best.

@bmaison2014 we call that a maintain around here. one more week and the party is over. back to basics we will do it in 2019
