Day 99

At my HMR class last night I lost another 3 pounds, putting my total at 46.
They have spent the last few weeks in class going over the maintenance phase and ongoing phases of the diet. Last night they told us that after the end of the month, my Tuesday night class would go away and the only available ongoing class is on Thursday.

Over half of the class, including me cannot do a Thursday night class nor are ready for maintenance, so the health educator said she'd talk to us one-on-one and figure something out.
She did mention going back and repeating the starter class which is available on Tuesdays... so we'll see. I'm just not ready for maintenance yet because I still have alot of weight to go, and knowing me, I learn it's ok to start eating regular food, then I'll fall off the wagon and gain it all back. I'll write more about what we decide later.

Apparently the clinic I go to is going to start undergoing a clinical trial, so they are making changes to how we weight in too starting next week - lots of changes going on.

The fall season for volleyball start's up this week. The captain's meeting is tonight, so I should hear soon if we have enough to make the team this season and I think practices will start on Thursday too. Looking forward to it.

I've got a bunch of challenging days coming up this week, that I don't know how to tackle. They are all with friends/family I have not seen since this past summer, and they do not know anything about the diet I'm on or that I've even lost weight. Just weird that it all hit's this week.

Tomorrow, I'm supposed to meet a bunch of ladies I worked with years ago for Sushi. We try to get together every few months - the last time we met for Sushi was before I started with HMR. I don't think I'll cheat, I'm just not looking forward to the looks and questions.

Friday night we are seeing my goddaughter, her parents and grandparents - I though we were just having a belated x-mas, but my husband said last night that they are planning on dinner, sloppy joes and pizza... so again, I'll have to go through the barrage of questions and explanations as to why I'm not eating. Unfortunately this one will be a real struggle, because every activity with them if focused on food, and everyone is severely obese - so I have to figure out a way not to offend anyone.

and Sunday my husbands family announced some of them are coming in town and they are having a get together - again food will be involved along with 20 questions, etc..

If I could get out of going to one or all, I would, but it's just not an option this time.
If anyone has any advice, let me know - it's going to be a rough week.
