I am two weeks away from having to renew my CK account. This morning I am undecided about the value of remaining a member.

Most of all, I like to blog. But there are other forums where I can blog.

On the Minus Side:
-I have not diaried regularly since early November (if I was even doing it then).
-I'm still not in a home space where I can easily prepare, measure, and keep track of food.
-so is it a good value for the dollar?

On the Plus Side:
-I did drop almost 30 pounds.
-I found a community of people that I could learn from and be encouraged by - through anything.
-I enjoy the resources for education (food, exercise, mental and emotional aspects of weight).
-The diaries and plethora of reports really tickle my detail-oriented nature. Blogging alone won't give me those things.

Any comments for me? Right now I've got more plus points. But I'm going to think about it.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Hubby and I celebrated our V-day last night (also our monthly anniversary). We went to a ceramic place and painted for a few hours. Results of our efforts should be available by Wednesday. Then we went out and shared dinner - tasty potstickers, healthy scallops and green vegetables.

Thanks for stopping by to visit. Hope you have good day, wonderful weekend, and can take a moment to enjoy the gifts in your life!

Love, -Otter

Much later: Impressive number of calories over my limit today. Stress. Willfully choosing the comfort of sugar over the comfort of good habits. Oh well. Even this evening I can do well by being active. Lots of house work while I am home alone. Hubby preferred different plans this evening, so we went our separate ways. Looking forward to Sabbath. Will diary tomorrow, too.
