We sure had a great time in Gatlinburg this last weekend. A very nice mix of vanilla and spanking fun, as well as some good eating. The party started off on Thursday with delivery pizza for dinner, but after that it was all home cooking. There was a barbeque on Friday, then Sarah made lasagna on Saturday. Pancakes for breakfast… and lots of different snacks. There were homemade cookies and Ian’s girlfriend Stella had a birthday with a cake. So, PLENTY of food.

Neither one of us did a very good job monitoring it either. It’s so-so easy to go back to bad habits when we’re not keeping track and writing things down. That looks good… I’ll have seconds… grab a couple of cookies… others are sitting down to eat, so join in… etc-etc.

The good news was, the damage was limited. Thursday night to Sunday morning is just three and a half days. Not that bad, especially since we were real good before getting there… AND, more importantly… we got right back on track by the time we made it home. That really is the key.

To that end, we’re trying our new quesadilla maker tonight with low-cal and healthy options. We’re also again tracking things. We’re back at it full force.

One downer is Todd’s knee… he’s having a major gout outbreak in his left knee. That’s only happened two other times (gout in the knee), and it’s pretty brutal. Really hoping it doesn’t linger, because it more or less means no walking minus a few pain filled steps to get to the bathroom. Obviously exercise is out. Given that, it’s extra important to be on task with the diet stuff… which we are doing.

Diet Update

Carye: Carye was up 2 pounds this week, which at first blush doesn’t sound like very good news. But, she spent the week out of town on business. That meant lots of eating out, often at places clients picked out. Her options were pretty limited, and she was obligated to let others make food choices. What Carye did control though… her daily workouts… she did really well at.

Hubby Papa Shrek gas told Carye that she has to lose 2 pounds in the next week… or she’ll be spanked and have a picture of that spanking shared here. We think there is a really good chance Carye can make the goal with a decent effort, which we’re sure she’ll give. Good luck!

Jean: Jean had a solid week. There were a few minor issues, but nothing too serious. Given that she wasn’t feeling very well most of the week and thus didn’t get much sleep… we’re plenty happy with the effort. It can be easy to drift off track when you’re tired and not feeling well. Jean didn’t do that though, and instead mostly kept her focus.

We’re supposed to see Jean in less than two weeks now. Will spend a day in Orlando with her and Rose at a very nice resort. Then at the end of October, we’re supposed to see Jean again at a small spanking party in Ocala. Really looking forward to both of those event… and do hope Jean can keep on top of things and avoid earning herself trouble.

Italian Gal (from Spanked Italian Gal): Didn’t hear from IG again this week. Do hope all is okay and that we’ll be able to update how she’s doing next time.

Courtney: Courtney has been doing really well with her rules and has largely stayed on track. She’s feeling better and her clothes are fitting better. Thing is… the scale is barely moving. Some weeks it doesn’t move at all. Very frustrating, especially when her bottom is on the line based on that number.

So, from now on the focus will be on following rules and meeting controllable goals. There will still be occasional weigh-ins, but spankings wont be on the line. That’s an adjustment we made too. It does get harder to lose pounds the longer you stick with it and you really can’t do anything about it. All you can do is keep at the things that work… healthy eating, journaling, water, exercise. Makes perfect sense to have rules the revolve around those things.

N~ (from Living Domestic Discipline): N~ stayed the same this week, which isn’t bad at all considering she was down over 2 pounds last week. Things are starting to get busy for her at work now, and that’s made finding time to cook a bit of a challenge. She’s hanging in there though, mainly because she’s stayed on top of journaling (no doubt her recent discipline spanking for that issue has helped).

Hubby K~ took a bad fall this week and hurt his ribs. He is just now starting to feel a little better, but is still very sore. We hope he continues to improve and feels back to his old self real soon. Be careful too!

_____

Iggy (from Perceptions From the Edge): Iggy was in the same boat we were in. After working hard at her diet, she found herself at a spanking party with lots of good food. It being a party and all, she let her diet rules go. And… of course… the scale was not pleased. Iggy was up 2.6 pounds. We feel her pain!

Iggy is already back at it though. Like us, she’s not going to let a few days of fun grow into falling off of her diet. One of her big challenges is getting back into drinking her daily water. She is doing it though, and we’re sure she’ll have good news next week. Want to share too… Iggy looked great! We certainly weren’t the only ones to notice either. Her hard work is paying off.
