Maintaining Weight Loss - Keeping Busy

I have been trying to maintain my weight loss from last year - I lost 48 lbs. last year and then the holidays hit.  I ate and ate and then after they were over I continued to eat.

I have kept off about 35 lbs and have settled down with the overeating and am getting ready to get headed in the right direction again.

I have been keeping busy - working on a lot of sewing projects.

I have also been hosting a weekly craft club - but this has developed into an eating club too - everyone brings something to munch on - an naturally alot of this is sweets and high fat items.

Tonight my man grilled pork chops, steamed broccoli and cauliflower. It was good, but the thin boneless pork chops were a little tough - don't worry he doesn't like to read :)
