Morning LW's!!! My Mom's funeral turned out really nice. She looked Beautiful and so Peaceful.
Do you celebrate New Years Eve? My family all gets together and we play games and eat sauerkraut and pork. Once the ball drops at midnight after lots of hugs and kisses we all head home. I've got the kraut and pork cooking. DH insisted I make less this year so I'm using the crockpot instead of my roaster. He just asked me if I put hot dogs in it. I have to stop at the store and buy a pack. Apparantly that's his favorite cooked in kraut.

Good afternoon everyone! Going to get back to somewhat normal today. By that I mean plan my food and get my ass to the gym. I'm still off work till next week so that part of normal will have to wait. I have the insurance inspector coming to look at the house today...mandatory I guess for renewal. I guess I better get some batteries in the smoke detectors.
The holidays weren't horrible eating wise, I probably could have done better but the scale is still a little below normal so that's good.

Morning LW's!! My Mom passed away yesterday. She's had dementia for quite a while now and lived in a Nursing Home. If I had it to do over again I would have kept her home longer and hired in help during the day. But I won't be getting a do over so I need to quit kicking myself and except it. I'm trying really hard not to "emotional" eat. No plans for eating today. We have to go make the arrangements this morning.

Thanks for stopping in and giving us an update!!
Carbs and weight gain go hand in hand. You can get hooked so fast! I would try to jump start losing again by increasing your calorie intake through good protein: Whey drinks, meat, jerky, etc. for a couple of weeks and then drop the calories back down to what you would normally use.
Catch up with us after the holidays!!

PS - I never stopped drinking my low calorie, low sugar protein shake for breakfast every day. I believe this helps more than anything.
Congratulations on your drive thru surprise!!!

Thank you for this reminder. I'm 10 years out and I must agree That you are 100% correct. I cut out mostly all carbs for the first 5 years or so and then gradually started eating bread and pasta "just this once". Well, the addiction is in full blast and I have regained 25lbs. I am Starting to mentally prepare to clean my body from this carb addiction and start my healthy eating on January 1st. I've made small changes thus far so that it's easier to wean off. I must do it, though. I need To be accountable and my first step was rejoining this forum.
Thank you you for your wise words. Any additional advise?
