    @fourathomejfourathomej - Hope your week goes well despite the challenges... Getting back into journaling and stop playing games with my fitness plan. This was a great find for me to join this challenge.

    you have a lot on your plate so keep on keeping on....I would be stressed out too!!!

    @MrKilt
    LOL....I agree! I would need beers after a kid party. My kids were born a day a part so for many years, it was absolute mayhem in October.....lots of beers later......now its just sadly quiet around here.

    @asolita Playing games with my fitness plan - that's exactly what I'm doing. Sometimes I just don't feel like working out...so I just don't! No excuses just NO motivation!

    @Ar_cervantes Awesome job!!

    @deepwoodslady I have been stuck a bit too! Did a reverse diet and am enjoying eating more - I think my brain is the one keeping me from cutting a bit! GRRRRRRR Keep it up!

    Been a little off with my snacking last week or so...Been tracking it all though! I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow and I always get stressed about taking care of everything I'll need, what I need to do before I go etc... so that has taken a little more of my focus. I have a healthy shopping list prepared for my trip so I can set myself up with meals at the hotel that don't need cooking! I'll definitely allow myself to indulge some and enjoy myself. I won't have a scale, so hopefully I at least maintain until next week when I'm back home. Wish me strength!!
