    I have also weighed in today. Minus 1/2 lb. :) Almost minus 1lb but not quite  :'(
    I am really going to try and lose more once tomorrow is over. I won't have leftover food  because I am not cooking tomorrow. I plan to try some new healthy dishes before going back to work.

    The best laid plans and all that....whistling nonchalantly 😙.

    My sister in law made me a Christmas cake. I'm in the process of eating it. Plus the chocolate and biscuits that I was given from Christmas have to be eaten. 

    I've made an executive decision that I'm not calorie counting til they're gone. And I'm not getting weighed tomorrow.

    I'm resting on my laurels and will rejoin you on January 6th. And start again from where I am.

    It's a plan
