Morning all and that is a warm welcome to YOU LOVELY LURKERS!

Happy Birthday StephaniePLum and many many more.  So pleased that your day was a wonderful one.  YAY!

But over here in gain-land that scales register 3 pounds up!   It is a hard first thing in the morning, totally naked, to learn the truth from a machine.    Sigh.  Am trying to remember that my weight does not define me but at this moment it does.

While I realize that this is likely water weight from some Chinese food I think that I have found the culprit as to why am not losing as much as I think that I should.    

I drink a lot of  Almond Milk as I like the calories.  However idly checking the carb content last night on the new batch that I had just purchased was the fact that each cup has 8 grams of carbs.  So if I drink 6 cups a day that is 48 carbs right there.  Wow!  So that is going to be cut back.  

Today is my Friday and work will be busy as we are preparing for yet another event.  It will be fun but tiring.  Nowadays all I can think of:  how many steps will be racked up on Fitbit.  

Enjoy the dog show Kairk as you are already up and at it. 

Have a wonderful day everyone. 

Carbon it looks like those 3 pounds will be temporary. 

As for me, still at 115, which is okay but my intent is still to take that number down. I've continued to lower my normal calorie intake by 500 a day so hoping to see that effort reflected on the scale soon!  I managed to fit a big glass of red wine into my lowered calorie count last evening and it was a wonderful treat. My daughter was over and my husband was home and we shared a really fun time together. We were all feeling light hearted so there were a lot of laughs. 

Heading to work in a few hours. Steph and Kairk, I thoroughly enjoyed looking through your Facebook posts last night too!  

Good Evening! It's 5 pm and I've been up for 13 hours. Had a fun time at the show. Didn't win, but got reserve (1st runner up). 

Came home and helped Ron with some fall cleaning - vacuumed walls, ceilings, dog crates, moved all the furniture in the master bedroom. living room, lifted all the rugs and vacuumed under them and turned the rugs over and vacuumed both sides. Feels good to get stuff like that done. 

Scale was the same at 4:15 am! I had just under 4 hours of sleep, so I doubt that was an accurate measure, but I will take it. 

Great workout yesterday. I can now keep my levi's buttoned and zipped and take them on and off. I think I need a smaller size. What do you think? 

Going to  be lazy tonight! 

Well! The good fest had officially ended!  I'm going to take note that it's just not as fun as it used to be and I don't feel the best either...too much sugar!!!  My mother made a **** load of cupcakes...and they were delicious! lol. Sent some home and I'm going to let Andy eat them.  My scale is going to be really ugly.  The great news is I'm 50 and fabulous. And, I'm back on track.

Hang in there, Carbon!  And, Thanks!

Linda...Facebook is fun!  Loving all the photos, too!  

Devon...sounds like you got a lot done!  Congrats on 1st runner up.  Your dogs are beautiful!!!

Enjoy the rest of the evening!
