You are making some headway, Karen! Good for you! But remember that you are not required to clean your plate at those luncheons!!
I lost 1.4 pounds this week!! I think that it's helped that I've had a couple of great projects to work on in the sewing room, and I NEVER eat while I'm down there! Always water....never food!
I splurged at lunch with friends today, but will get back to what has been working tomorrow, and will try to get in an extra lap or two at the mall. I sure am looking forward to warmer weather so I can get back outside for my walks!
