Happy December! I'm getting a late start. I had lots of fun company over the weekend and took yesterday off to recover! It was not good foodwise and I gained a few pounds but that should go away this week and I will start working my way back down. All but my Texas kids/grands come for the holidays and we have a ridiculous…

@lisakatz2 That is amazing!!! You're living proof that consistent hard work is the answer to meeting goals. I think if you keep working out, the measurements will change over time so just enjoy how good it feels to be where you are right now. Congrats on your progress:)

I'm not even going to start with my goals because things have been so out of whack lately.

It's 8:15 PM and I'm finally getting around to doing my computer work. I had an early lunch with a friend and we chatted for 2 hours. Then some shopping and when I got home my son was here visiting so that was a surprise treat. My son-in-law is a college asst. coach from Texas and his first game was on ESPN+ at 5 so I had…

I decided to make checking in here part of my daily computer routine...read the news, check emails, do a French lesson and now ... myfitness pal. It all takes about an hour especially on those really hard French days. Today I got a 64%! Getting 100% seems to be a part of the past! So far today I've checked off 4 boxes.…
