kaw Just read your blog. "The death-sucking-on-a-cracker look" :rofl:

My dieting/maintaining on dog sit did not go well. Usual stuff. Something about being in another person's house with free rein to anything :devil: in their kitchen. Tomorrow is Monday and I begin again :angel:.

Happy after Thanksgiving all!

Well, I don't know how I really faired this long weekend :shrug:. I kind of stopped counting calories and was going on portion control but it was a weird long weekend.

Thursday (Thanksgiving) I cooked all the traditional foods all day but I wasn't really feeling real well so I didn't have much of an appetite so nothing really tasted good to me and I didn't eat much that day.

Friday, the appetite was back and everyting tasted good and I ate quite a bit :o. On the other hand, I also cleaned my living room carpet, so I felt like I got a little exercise.

Saturday, we put up the Christmas tree and decorations only because we have to take them down early because we will be going out of town for a few days over Christmas and can't leave our cat alone with a Christmas tree. She has tree issues :dz:. I ate OK this day.

Today is Sunday. I tried to eat pretty clean today. I also felt better today for doing so.

So anyway, back to work tomorrow. I'm still confused as to how to eat these days and I'm sure I will stay off the scale for a few days. I know this has to be a life time thing so I really want to find a plan that I can stay with forever. I'll keep working at it.

Dagmar and Barbara, I'm sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time in your relationships. I've been there and done that in my past and I know it's a hard decision to make. I'm sure you'll do what is right for you and I send you both a big :hug:

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Now onto next week!
