    Your weekend sounds wonderful. I wouldn't weigh either. And I wouldn't feel bad about the carbs, cake, and ice cream. You're doing great.

All I can do is try to have a decent day in the midst of my mess right now. Looking for a lighter number tomorrow. Taking it day by day. Nearly flunked the eye with the side vision part but found my head was not square on the head pad so it wasn’t me. It was my eyes. So relieved! In regards to this journey of mine, I would love to say that I’m going to have a great week but I really don’t think I’m there yet. So much to focus on right now after this Storm of the Century. First things first……

    I am pleased with my weight this week. It is steady, at least. I have upped my protein and cut back on carbs. For breakfast, I had an egg and 2 sausage links. Husband had toast along with these things. So, I'm trying to skip higher glycemic index foods when possible.

    I have upped my walking on the weekends. I am also enjoying some spring cleaning which adds to my step count.

    8 more days until the end of this challenge! I will be starting a new challenge for the next three months. I'll post the link soon. Thanks to everyone for sticking with this challenge! I think it really helps us stay connected, motivated, and determined.
