Week 3 with no weigh-in!

Well, Eileen's surgery went well, and she is now home recovering on her sofa with her family fluttering around her. The surgeon was unable to do the hysterectomy laproscopically, due to the condition of her lungs, so they ended up doing it surgically instead, which at least meant she got to spend 2 nights in the hospital - still not enough in Mom's estimation, but better than the one night they had originally planned to keep her in for!

Mom is back from her trip to England, and by all accounts has had a really good time. She CLAIMS to have eaten like a horse while she was gone, but she is still looking very slim, so I'm thinking she might be fudging a little on how much she really did eat! Either way, the important thing is that she had a good time - weight gain or no - and made it there and back safely!

As for me, I really have eaten with abandon this week, and sadly it has been largely junk - although I did munch my way through an entire bag of baby carrots one evening! I really, really need to get back on track with this FRP: I was doing so well, and I really do want to make it to my target weight this year. I stepped on the scales this morning - it showed me at 207.5lbs - which isn't TOO bad: it means that I've only gained about 6lbs in the last 2 weeks! Groan...

The general consensus, however, is that we will have one more week of not weighing in: Mom wants a little time to recover from her trip & to hopefully lose at least some of the weight she gained back; Eileen is in no state to come over to weigh in, and is not allowed to drive herself anywhere anyway, so that counts her out. And that would leave just me! So we will have a third week of reprieve before getting back on weigh-in track - hopefully by then we will all have made some changes again and will be back on the losing streak of this FRP rather than a gaining one!
