Hi ! I am back ! Been awhile......

I haven't posted here since Dec. 15.....besides the holidays, a lot has been happening in my life.

My brother in law passed away on Dec. 17....I had known him since I was 2, so I have spent quite a bit of time with my sister.  Everyone came for the funeral and 17 spent at least two nights at my house at that time.   Then on Dec. 26, they all came back for Christmas and I hosted 35 or so for three days. (Only 17 spent the nights, the rest were local)......

I hadn't done ANY Christmas shopping or cooking until Monday before Christmas because I had two different strands of flu from the week before Thanksgiving until around the 15 of December.  You would have thought I would have lost a couple of pounds, but no I did not !!   

After Thanksgiving and then again after the funeral, a lot of my family got the flu so between the funeral and Christmas, I thoroughly cleaned and sanitized my house......if it could be bleached...done, sprayed Lysol disinfectent on every thing I couldn't wash....scrubbed everything........washed ALL bedding !!! I was one busy lady !  But I guess it helped because no one got sick after Christmas.  

this year's resolution is to organize........quit the weight loss one years ago !!

I hope all of you have a successful 2015 !!

Welcome Back! I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  My heart goes out to you. Did you find stress eating hard to resist?  My husband has serious health issues and I found myself turning to old "bad" habits.

We can help each other.

Stress eating is my toughest bad habit to control .......I find myself finishing something before I even realize that I am eating !!   I am working on it....we can help each other......just by understanding and encouraging......

Welcome back. Sorry about all your troubles.
