I met another goal this morning, which feels great. I am trying to decide where I want to set the next one. I do a lot better when thinking I don't have that far left to go to reach my goal (rather than trying to think about the end of the rainbow -- meaning pot of
goal, not
RainbowSmiles 
).
Food yesterday and at breakfast was OP. My husband was awesome and made me an OP dinner even when he did not want to eat so that I could keep getting work done. I made it through a ton of research papers yesterday, which felt great. (I was only able to get through them all because I DID NOT read every page. I am still learning like that I am allowed to do that and not ready every word. It still feels like I am cheating at times and that I will miss
that one nugget of information that will be the key to the big picture.) Today will be all writing right after I finish my posts.
usmcvet, that happened to us on the 26th. It was tough coming home to an empty house after being with my mom's side of the family for several days. (Kids screaming, TV blaring, people yelling... Fun chaos.) Then our trip 1 hour away got derailed by being fearful we would not be able to get back home safely that night. I was really (and unexpectedly sad).
Sammie, glad you get to barracade yourself indoors away from the snow.
Fishette, sounds like a fun time with your granddaughter. I remember when I was 5 and got my ears pierced. My mom was afraid it would hurt me too much and I promised I would not get hurt. I remember sitting on the chair with this giant smile plastered on my face and tears running from my eyes when they finally pulled the trigger! Ha Ha!!
Willie, great job for surviving the holidays and good luck at the WI.
LoriKay, so, fluffy snow is drier?
IdealProteinNewbie, congrats on the WI! I just got o Onderland and it is really great being here.
GreenIris, hope you have a fantastic day!
Chloe, good luck on the strict plan. I haven't tried that yet.
ShanCo, that sounds great. I was resifted an espresso maker last summer. I just make my IP shake as a latte everyday, sometimes adding in a SF syrup. I love it!
MrsKuby, hang in there with the IP sweets. It took me a while to adapt as well and I just had to keep focusing on the fact that this was a short term adaptation. I really hope you feel better tonight!
BubbleBlower, hope you get your kids off OK. On our October trip, my gear seemed really taxing to move around too. I felt silly, because I had already lost that much weight, but I am not exercising much outside of walking at work. So, my guess was I really wasn't used to hauling large amounts of weight around.
Sonyaiva, hope your headache gets better ASAP. Get some rest!
Kasamsdad, congratulations! That is great news!
Cinderbug, that is really great! Congratulations.
MissDee18, great job!
KLD81230, good luck on your trip. I was in a very similar situation over Thanksgiving at my Grandfather-in-laws. DH is a lactose-intolerant vegetarian and I was not sharing with my MIL (who is clinically anorexic) that I was dieting. It wasn't all smooth sailing, but I probably feared the situation more than I needed to. Keep us posted how it is join!
