My "plan" seems to be working for me. The scales are moving in the right direction.  I will continue to eat carbs in moderation although last night I had a half bag of popcorn...so yummy.

I'm happily at the low end of my bounce right now, 251.5 yesterday and today.  Now with determination I can lose 2 lbs through a trip and 2 holidays right?  YES I CAN!!  This has to be my attitude so I don't give in to fleeting pleasures and temporary indulgences.  

My plan today....

Protein coffee
Egg beaters with beef fajita meat & veggies
Chicken fajita soup
Cottage cheese w/ salsa
Pastrami roll ups
Fiber plus bar
Dinner at the in-laws, not sure what's being served

My Mom has called me about 6 times this morning from the grocery store, so I know I'll have good stuff there to chose from. She's even going to make a SF pumpkin pie so I can have some.  The challenge will be making sure my out to eat choices are within reason.  We're going to be out sight seeing a lot, so lunch and dinners will likely be out and about.  But hey, that means exercise!  Woohoo!

Going to have lunch with a couple of my Sewing Sisters today. One of our Sisters has had her cancer come back so any extra prayers would be appreciated.

Todays plan....
Pre-B....Chai Tea
B.....cottage cheese w/ coconut, almond and choc SF syrup....Almond Joy cottage cheese!
L....spring salad and smoked turkey
L#2....grilled chopped steak, just a few bites, and a few sweet potato baked fries
D....leftover L#2. Only a few bites again. Either this steak is really dense or I'm having a teeny pouch day!
LNS....Chai Tea

ETA....fill in what I REALLY had!

No point in lying about it... I'm having a bad week...  However I do have a plan to fix it, just have to get through Christmas day at this point.

So, the scales are up 3 lbs. in the last month.  I know some of this is water retention due to what I had for lunch yesterday with sodium content.  But regardless, I'll own the friggin' number...  In general, the scales are holding steady which frustrates me.  Even though I've dropped a size and have lots of flabby skin to show now - it would be nice to see the scale move too!

I have to get back to basics; planning meals ahead, working out consisten****er intake.

It's been a rough month in more ways than one and I'll start over with Monday (traveling until then)....   However, as I took a vacation day Monday - no more excuses - my butt will be in the gym!

For everyone else...  Good luck all and Merry Christmas!

I like your statements...truth... no excuses given, just honest truth... they match mine...

eating junk... not planning.. very low on protein... gotta hit the gym..

I will up my proteins... and water...  will focus on exercise once all the road trips are over..

Best wishes to you
