I have reined in the strange sneaky eating from a few days ago, and stuck to a reasonable diet since (although came home super hungry last night at 9 pm and had frozen pizza, when I actually wanted a bunch of vegetables). Still haven't had the guts to weigh myself but I WILL do it tonight. I need the motivation - tomorrow is my birthday, and hopefully remembering the number on the scale will keep me from doing that "it's my birthday!! I can eat everything!!" justification all weekend.
Slept 8 hours last night ! That happens so rarely that I need to remark on it, I usually get 4 or 5 per night, and not by choice.
Better news is that my weight has not changed up or down in the last 16 days. I always hate to mention this in fear I will jinx it somehow.
Reached my vanity goal of 114...well 114.4, that's close enough. I don't know if it is sustainable and I don't want to go any lower but I am happy this morning.
But why call it "vanity weight"? Just call yourself at goal, where you want to be, for whatever reason you want to be there.
If I were to make 114 my goal weight I would be constantly trying to stay at goal. 120 is a reasonable goal for a woman of my height. Anything below that is a bonus.

So I bought Yoga for Beginners by Rodney Yee (as recommended by several of you). I've yet to open it, though.
I did buy lots of berries and cut up strawberries to mix with blackberries, blueberries and raspberries and had a huge bowl (maybe 1 1/2 cups) of berries this morning along with 1 cup of plain yogurt. This is my beginning. I have some not so diet worthy leftovers for lunch. I will have salad with chicken for dinner. And then I plan (and here's where I usually mess up) to exercise after dinner instead of sitting in front of the TV with DH.
I think if I manage the yoga then I'll "feel" like getting on the treadmill for a couple of miles. I'm not certain of that, but that's how I feel. I'll report in the morning.

I really need a kick in the butt!
Love those strawberries, low in calories and they really don't need sugar and whipped cream to be delicious. I bought 2 boxes the other day and have been having then in a morning shake with a banana and almond milk.
PS I often wish I was taller. Allison if I were your height I could be 15 pounds heavier and still be at goal.
I passed my goal.
