165.8 today.  look at what regular scheduled dosing does!  if i feeling like i'm losing AS or i've skipped doses and feel hungrier than usual, then i take 4 T in a day.  that brings back strong AS and i drop down to 3 T.  that's only happened once in the past week so i'm ok with going up to 4 T to bring back AS.  otherwise same old, same old. 

so far no problems with holiday snacks.  i indulge in a bite or two if something appeals but that is about it.  all of the cheap nasty crap i used to eat sounds gross.  DH wanted me to go to a little afternoon work party featuring a chocolate fountain.  i told him it didn't sound good at all.

Congrats on the return to schedules and regaining battleground on those 2 lbs, and especially for the victory in clothes!   Isn't it funny how easy the holidays have become.  I don't know though, if it's a dark chocolate fountain, I'd be tempted.  :lol:

Really? Dark chocolate does sound good but...I bet one bite would be enough. This is the first time in my life that I get annoyed if there isn't anything natural and wholesome to eat wherever we go when we are going out to eat or party. I saw the coolest picture of a huge plate of broccoli on a rectangular platter made to look like a Christmas tree decorated with radishes and star fruits and I can't remember what else but I want to make that for Christmas Eve munchies. We always have a huge spread of high carb goodies and that just doesn't sound very good to me at this point in time. I am all for organic, natural and nutritious. Boring to my kids I am sure but some day they will look back and know mom was cool!
Have a great weekend! ELOO or bust!!

just checking in from vacation.  we are about a week in and i've been taking oil sporadically.  didn't take any yesterday or the day before and right now i'm waiting for my one hour to be up so i can glug 3 T. 

even taking it sporadically is working here and i can't figure out why.  i would get more hungry with regularity at home if i skipped doses.  but here i don't and i still fill up fast.  i can theorize and say its the change in routine and/or weather that is affecting me.  but i'll take it whatever it is!

as well--i don't have good tools while traveling to measure my progress--i even left my luggage at home (long story) so i don't have my regular clothes to go by.  i'll be more than satisfied if i return home having maintained or just gained a few lbs.

i'm kicking my diet pepsi habit cold turkey which is strange.  i usually NEED the stuff when dealing with a vacation like this.

another cool thing: i bought the OXO slanted measuring cup for tea-- and tablespoons.  i love that thing.  the only thing that would make it better is a lid.

happy new year everyone!

Happy New Year!  Traveling is always a big question mark, and I'm glad SLD is still working for you!  It sounds like you are making the very best of things.  Great excuse to get new clothes.  :lol: 

Hope the rest of your vacation goes smoothly!
