--209.6 pounds.

Needless to say, I am gratified; I did exercise over the week, and stayed away from the gluten-free pumpkin pies (did I mention I adore pumpkin pie?) but I did eat a lot of turkey and vegetables.

It does seem as if the simple carbs do me in--so perhaps I dodged that this time (but Chanukah is only a week and a half away, and that involves potato pancakes--latkes , for those who like the term . . .)

Anyway, I believe one of my work cohorts actually had the gumption to predict I wouldn't top 210, so she will get two muffins (all that's left).

Unfortunately, my wife has just made a cranberry something or other . . .
