NOOOOOOO!!

2 weeks of vacation plus Thanksgiving dinner plus leftovers = weight gain. I do not want to step on the scale Monday.

Here we are, at the office the day before Thanksgiving, the official first day of the most challenging part of our effort. Not looking forward to Monday. Or to January 4th. I hear Fashionista is already sliding. I guess some people have to hit rock bottom first.... Be strong, Fashionista!

Speaking of Donuts...

I literally caught someone eating a honeybun running down the stairs in the parking garage yesterday morning. I won't name names, but it wasn't Diana, Debbi, Char, Sabina, Maria, Ken, or Duane.

Monday... another weigh-in day

The Donut Meister lived up to his name today, bringing in Dunkin' Donuts for Kathy's birthday. (Happy birthday, Kathy!) The Meister was able to resist the temptation until the afternoon munchies hit, around 2:00pm. We won't talk about the weekend -- does everybody know that Stop & Shop has mint- and chocolate-filled Oreos on sale right now??

Still, Donut Meister is smaller than he was last Monday. One has to recognize success, no matter how small.

Oh, by the way, there are a few leftover donuts in the 3rd-floor meeting room.

The Biggest Loser This Week...

The Biggest Loser this week is Ken! Woohoo! Go Ken! He has lost 4 pounds this week, so hopefully that will help us catch up with Chicago or simply kick their butts!!! Come on people! We can do it!

News from Chicago

From Chicago.....So this week, the team lost a total of 32.6 lbs.
Highest percentage lost is a tie between Muffin Lover who lost 7.2 lbs and Goodyear who lost 4.6 lbs - we could split the trophy in half!
Even though New Haven hasn’t reported their numbers, I saw on the blog that their biggest loser lost 7 lbs this week! (special congrats to Sabina)
Chicago, keep up good work, whatever you are doing, it’s working! I’m pretty sure we are winning! We should just have them send the money now!

Monday's another weigh-in day

The Donut Meister is sending positive thoughts to the team for a low-calorie weekend!

Soul food truck spotted in the neighborhood

The Donut Meister asks: Did anybody else see the new soul food truck that was parked in front of Univ Health Serv on Hillhouse Avenue today? Was there a low-calorie, high-fiber option on the menu?

Biggest Loser?

The other biggest loser this week is the Phillies.

The Biggest Loser this week in New Haven...
