Good morning... Well, here we are post-Thanksgiving and I hope everyone had an enjoyable time with family and friends.
As I posted elsewhere, we had a very small gathering here - just my husband, daughter and myself, but I still cooked the turkey and all the trimmings. I did have the good sense to send the majority of leftovers home with my daughter so I haven't been nibbling on them for the past 3 days.
We did have the disaster with the garbage disposal and kitchen faucet, which have both been replaced so we now have full use of the kitchen sink. We did have to make a new floor for the cabinet under the sink and that's been in the process for the past couple of days - the wood had to be cut to size and a good finish put on it so when, either the faucets, disposal or drain, inevitably leaks again, it won't ruin the wood right away. Of course, the original floor was MDF, which is only pressed wood and not waterproof, even with paint on it. Anyway, this project should be far enough along today or tomorrow so we can put the doors back on the cabinet and call it done...
I guess the next project will be putting up the Christmas trees, although Christmas is usually not my best time of year and I, typically, procrastinate when it comes to decorating. We'll see how it all goes this year...
So - moving right along... I didn't fare too bad from the Thanksgiving dinner and what few leftovers I had, though I don't think the pumpkin pie and whipped cream did a lot of good... :-) I was down a pound on Friday and steady with that yesterday, but this morning, I'm 0.2 lbs less than I was at last week's weigh in, so I'll just say I held steady from last week.
I did retain some fluid yesterday and it didn't all go down overnight, so that account for some. Stress can account for some, as well, as can the fact that I ate some chips last night (stress eating)... so there is more than one thing to consider.
So - that's my story... how about all of you? Did you have a great Thanksgiving and were you able to maintain your weight as you'd hoped?
We have a month now before Christmas - so we have time to get back on track (if we got off track) and try to lose a few pounds between now and then. Of course, some of us have parties to attend between now and then, so we'll have to plan ahead for those...
~~Wishing everyone a great, successful week~~
