Beth, Beenz, JoAnn... Yup, not thinking we will venture out much. A couple of spa treatments and a very nice dinner out Saturday night! Tire rotation indeed!

(Beth... He knows my last bi-coastal relationship included meet-ups in Denver (The Brown) and San Antonio (Riverwalk), so we ruled those out. It was this or St. Louis, which has a much less friendly flight schedule! We are on early in the day flights to allow for cancellations and weather delays! Is it January yet?!?!?
YES, we will both be in the 160's soon!!! Can't wait!)

Looks like Monday is going to be your day Donna! Hope your eye gets better!

Congrats to all the losers and maintainers, hugs to those of you who are having difficulties -- hang in there, don't give up -- where else could we lose this much weight with this little effort?

Reading the thread in order so someone might have commented already but, it is my understand that if you are 2 lbs below or above for many days, that is stabalizing. You might even change later in P3 as I did. I was right on LDW then at the end of P3, right at my first day of P4, I went down several lbs. Good luck!!

So im going to my grandmas for and early thanksgiving tonight, should i just stick to the turkey and veggies if any? Is turkey for thankgiving just plain turkey? or do some have added sugars or spices?

so, as before I posted that my mom called at 10 am - she was on her way to my house with her friend - 1 hour away -- at that point I had 2 more hours before husband had to go to work to work on my project that is due today .. so I stop working on the project - race around the house to tidy like a maniac - short tempered with family - go to the grocery store and spend $50.00 on lunch items to make a nice lunch as they will be here at lunch time - noon comes - they are not here yet - I am getting worried because it only takes an hour to drive here - my mom doesn't answer her cell, her friend doesn't answer her cell - 12:30 comes -- she calls after I left messages "oh, we were so busy talking we missed the exit to your house and ended up at *** and so we stopped for lunch and are in a restaurant and will leave soon - we are an hour away" -- I am so angry at her right now - this has totally crapped out my day -

I was in such a good head space for this project before she called; now I am just angry and resentful and have also ticked off everyone in my own house because of my mood ........ she has absolutely no idea what it is like to work a very stressful full time job, have a self employed husband, 2 small kids AND take night school at the same time .... I need to start saying no to her .........

okay vent done - very sorry to rant

Lee-Ann

the baby needs to nap which means he will be in his deep sleep when she gets here - husband has now gone to work and 8 year old is very upset with me because I have been so snappy --- if I called someone to say I was an hour away, and then lost tracked of where I was - I would have the decency to call them after an hour to say we were late ...

Oh LeeAnn, I would be mad too. Yes, I would learn to say no infact, I started to years ago and boy does it feel GOOD and liberating. People have more respect too when you do and if they don't my moto is TOUGH!! Don't get stressed as that =GAIN and I would not let anyone be the cause of my GAIN! You are doing great. Cut the visit short and tell them you have work to do and you hope they don't mind but you need to get back to it. If they don't get the hint, get up and get to it!

I would just enjoy and if you need to do a correction, you know what to do. I am up 5 lbs or so and will deal with it after my vacation if it doesn't happen sooner

Hello, checking in, I am still 148.6 but, I am fine as I know I will correct this soon or after my vacation. Drank lots of vodka with cranberry with no added sugar just a mix of other juices and sparkling water, then after midnight munched on popcorn and butter and it was so awesome! I was pigging out!! no gain from that yet Might appear tomorrow but haven't eaten today yet. For the most part, I am eating healthy. Had taco's too last night, several helpings of salad with ranch,eggs for breakfast and cheese and nuts. Not much else. Today I plan to eat healthy but might have popcorn as we are supposed to see Harry Potter.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! Will check in later.

I'd definitely tell her she burned her visit time with you short because of her (probably bs) excuse about missing the exit. This way she thinks she can monopolize your whole day. Not okay!
