I haven't been tracking my calories and I haven't been exercising, and I think it's going to show on the scale on Friday.  I have been catching up on my sleep, though...  I had a feeling that taking this time off might lead to this!  One of my excuses (and I know it's an excuse, and not a "good reason") is a cat who bitches and complains when she wants companionship, and a husband whose sleep schedule is flipped -- and I don't want her to wake him up!  Believe me, I know it's an excuse, but it's so much easier to give the cat a lap instead of going out to exercise...  Bad BD160...  :P

And my honey has been cooking (yaay!) but that means I don't have control of what's being cooked.  He's a great cook, and he's more healthy than he has been in the past (thank goodness) but I don't have control.  And I have a hard time controlling my portion sizes - I know I need to get better about that. 

Those of you who are staying strong during this holiday season - I am so proud of you, and I am so cheering you on!!!  I will still be surfing the blogs, and trying to blog myself, but I don't think I've got high chances of staying steady, let alone losing.  And I'll just take what I can get, and then get back on track after the new year.
