I have really been absent for a while! The last you heard from me I was complaining about Halloween candy and getting ready to attend a wedding. Well, the wedding was really nice. Lucky (or unlucky) for me, Hershey kisses were the party favors. I love Hershey kisses. I think my avid readers are well aware of that fact! Two of my three kids don’t like the dark chocolate ones, which meant that in addition to all the tasty milk chocolate ones of my own, I got a couple extra helpings of the dark chocolate variety. Yum!
I wore a wonderful form-fitting dress that really flattered me, I think. I was a little cold, because it had short sleeves, but I wore a crocheted shawl over my shoulders and it kept me warm enough for comfort. This is one of my new favorite photos of me and my husband:

Since Halloween, I have had a few family celebrations, including the wedding, Thanksgiving and the first of several family Christmas-season feasts. For most days of the week, my eating is admirable. But, that one day a week, I seem to blow it. Thankfully, I know exactly what to do to get back on track, and I don’t spiral out of control. But, if I could only be a little more reasonable on the 7th day and not overindulge to the point of embarrassment, I’d have much less time spent in rebound mode! Here’s what the last four weeks look like:

There were only a few days in the 150’s, which is where I really want to be. I need to buckle down and get back there!

I can totally relate to the rebound mode. I’d licked it once before and am trying to do so again. Good luck.
You look really healthy, and pretty!
