Good morning!

I didn't realize I had not measured and reported last week. I was out of town for a week for the Thanksgiving holidays (visiting Brown Bear in Lubbock), and there was so much to do when I got back, all I did was weigh. I got distracted by "projects" and never got around to measuring. I was just partially on plan during that week, and when I got back, I actually had stayed even, so that is the good news. Then, this past week has been one special occasion after another, so I was up 1 lb. this morning, BUT, I have lost 5 inches since the last time I had measured!!! That makes a total of 21 inches I've lost since re-starting!!! (7 weeks) YEA!! This week will have many challenges, too, but as always during the holiday season from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day, my goal is not to gain. I will be having several rapid results meals this week, since there are several parties and luncheons on the calendar. I will then be back fully on plan on Jan. 2. Take care, and have a great week. Remember, if you really want to write to me, be sure you do so at emaxson2@tx.rr.com. If you comment to this BLOG address, I won't be able to respond to you, as I won't be able to "see" your real email address. Please write if you have questions or concerns. I love hearing from everyone!!

P.S. Beth came over this evening for her weigh-in and in 7 weeks she has lost 27.75 inches over all and 11.1 lbs. I think she is still amazed, that even though she has not been totally faithful to the plan, she is still having success!! I'm so very proud of her.
