Was it pretty snow or ugly snow??? We're getting our first snow at this very second, which usually turns me into a giggly little kid, but it's too wet and not very pretty at all.
 
Lou Lou, you can have all the snow as far as I'm concerned. We get entirely way too much of it. lol!

Oaks, it was a pretty snow. Enough to coat everything white and then it melted. I wish it did that every time it snowed. lol.


So Chef's parents left this morning to go back home. My diet during their visit was definitely not successful. lol! I'm pretty sure I put back on at least a couple pounds. His mom brought a ton of cookies and we ate out several times. There were just too many temptations. Today hasn't been too bad so far. By tomorrow I'll be back to counting calories and being strict. I still want to be under 200 by the end of the year. No more cheat days until Thanksgiving!
 
Yeah it's cooled off here too. We just the reached the high temperature here, a chilly 72 degrees. It's going to be cool again tomorrow: 74 degrees. Just awful weather. ;)
 
Having company is great but it really does throw a wrench at our routines, doesn't it? My brother is coming to visit me this week, so I'll be feeling your pain soon! But luckily a few days off track won't ruin all your hard work. Just get back at it!
 
Hey Jen

Weekends are enough to get me out of my routines, so having relatives staying for days can't be good to the everyday routine. Good job getting back on track.....I need to get over my sugar addiction once again myself...damn halloween! We where supposed to get snow but so far so good but it`s smells like snow outside so we just know it`s comming!!! Take it one day at a time and you will start loosing again!!!
 
Let me sum up my morning on the scale through pictures...

213.0! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Wednesday when they got here I was 206! 7 lbs in 5 days. Holy hell. The first two days I wasn't even that bad, I ate at around maintenance. I'm hoping that a lot of it is water weight from eating a lot of high carb/high sodium foods. I know it'll drop back off pretty quick, but seeing that number was just jaw dropping to say the least. lol.

Edited to add: I haven't touched any of the kids Halloween candy, so that's one good thing at least. lol!

212.2 this morning. Nice little drop... I'll take it! :)

Yesterday was rough getting back on track. I ate around 1300 calories, but wanted to eat around 13,000 calories. lol :blush5: It was a successful day though.

There are about 8 weeks left until the end of the year. The only cheat days I'm planning on having are Thanksgiving and Christmas. My fitnesspal estimates that I'll be 203 in 5 weeks(based on my calories yesterday). I'm sure that's not highly accurate, but it's something to shoot for. I'd like to be under 200 by the end of the year, which would leave me only 25 to lose to meet my goal in May. If I could be 175 by my birthday I'd be a very happy girl.
 
208.8 this morning. That's the drop I've been waiting for. Calories yesterday were good.

I have to take my mom to the doctor today. Her sugar was high the last time she had her blood work done, so she has to be put on medicine. I don't think I've mentioned it before, but she'll be having weight loss surgery next Thursday. So they want her on something before she goes into surgery. The whole thing is stressing me out... worrying about whether everything will go ok during surgery, and also dreading when she gets home. I know my mother, so I know exactly how things are going to go... and it won't be pretty. I need a xanax just thinking about it. lol!

I also have go to an IEP meeting for my son today. This meeting has been making me nervous for a good week. I'm hoping his new teachers and speech therapist have good things to say. *fingers crossed*

I'll catch up on diaries tonight.
 
Thanks, guys!

The meeting went pretty good. I was worrying for nothing, as usual. lol.

I'll be ending the day at 1330 calories after I eat my 1/2 cup of rainbow sherbet.
 
Hi Gen...

I have to pay for a tutor this year but if it makes school easier for my daughter so be it!!! Congrats on the loss!!! We are practically at the same weight...I would love to be under 200 by the end of the year as well!! Good luck to your mom for her surgery! and to you for the after!!!

Thanks, Vero! I'm really considering a tutor for over the summer(or possibly earlier). I found out my son's teacher actually does it as a side job, so I thought who better to tutor him than his teacher. That's something I'll definitely be looking into. He has severe speech apraxia and fine motor delays. Speech, writing and math are his major problem areas. He's made a LOT of progress though, just this year. Super proud of him!!! :) I think we can both be under 200 by the end of the year!
 
206.4 this morning. It took a few days, but all that water weight is gone.

I never did get around to diaries last night. We watched our shows and then I ended up falling asleep on the couch. Super tired lately.

My afternoon and evening are going to be filled with dishes, refereeing children, and more parent/teacher conferences. Fun stuff! If I'm not dead tired by tonight, I might get on the treadmill when I get home later.
 
Congrats on the loss!!!! That was a weird sentence! I have been slacking on the workouts myself, by the time evening rolls around I just want to sleep!!! On Jan 1 we are both gonna be 199.0 or under!!!
 
Thanks, Vero!

204.8 this morning.

Today has been a lounge around the house kind of day. It's been raining and/or snowing all day. The kind of day where you wanna curl up on the couch with a blanket and cup of hot cocoa. I have my blanket... but no cocoa. :( Oh well, no liquid calorie deliciousness for me.

I've been doing pretty good though, so I'm happy about that. I have no doubts that I'll be under 200 well before the first of the year. :)
