No I can wait until the end of Feb I just needed to post ahead of time so everyone can get a chance to pm me.
Funny how that works, isn't it?
I had a 1.2 lb gain this week. But after my retreat and all of the wonderful meals the Inn Keeper fed us and the two tables full of "bring a snack to share". Really? Can you say that to a group of 25 quilters and expect anything different? And I mean those tables were kept loaded the entire 3 days. I was rather careful, good thing or my gain could have been more significant. I also missed 4 days of my normal working out, other than the loading and unloading of my car. So I got right back into the swing of things on Tusesday morning, and I am doing just fine. I was very encouraged this morning when I measured my waist and found that since I started measuring in December, I think it was, I have lost 7 inches from my waist. Go Me!!!
Nothing to feel bad about? Right?

7 inches?!! Way to go! That is huge. I am sure I would have done much worse than 1.2 if it were me.
Thank you. 7" makes a really big difference. So while the scale isn't moving quite so fast, I can still see that I am making progress with toning my body.
Believe me, I wanted to try some of everything on those tables, but I resisted. Honestly, I ate somethings twice. But that is just the way life is. You have to reward yourself sometimes. I have decided that I am not going to deprive myself of everything that I like to eat. So moderation is the key. And only 1 pound to work off is so much better than the 5 lbs. I used to gain when I was at an event with so many great food to try. Then of course the Inn Keeper fed us very well. One night we had two pasta dishes to choose from, we all tried both, and I am not sorry that I did. They were great. But I was careful about how much I put on my plate knowing that I would eat every last bite.
