We were baaaaad this past week. It felt so good, though. Thanksgiving was nice. Whoever made the stuffing put raisins in it... What were they thinking??? I don't eat stuffing but Mike does and I think it tarnished his outlook on my extended family. I've never seen stuffing with raisins in it and I don't think they belong, either. Oh well, we had pumpkin pie and apple pie and green bean casserole, among other traditional foods. Then we went out to eat with some friends on Sunday.
I weighed in this morning and lost a pound. Say WHAT? I know what this means. It means that all the food I ate this week is going to take at least a week to catch up with me. So if I'm really really good this week I might be able to maintain at next week's WI. Or I might gain. I am setting reasonable expectations because I know I did not deserve this loss.
Oh well, it still makes me a little giddy to think that I lost a pound after eating my guts out on Thanksgiving and eating a Rajun' Cajun chicken burger and french fries at Red Robin.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Raisins
I wish my MIL would put raisins in her stuffing - that way I wouldn't eat any! LOL
Sometimes I think I gained because of bad eating and it showed a loss instead. I guess it all depends on what you do afterwards like exercising and you may have burned it off already.
Raisin in stuffing? Well that's a new one. I don't think it belongs there too.
i thought that you said you didn't weigh in....but you lost a lb? Maybe I misread. I'd take the lb. loss! Maybe it won't show up next week. fingers crossed. Raisens in stuffing sounds sick. I love stuffing....well my mom's anyway!
My mom makes her stuffing with raisins and it's honestly the best home-made stuffing that I've ever had. I think it all depends on what people put in other than just the raisins though...
In my mom's, she uses onions, celery, raisins, sage, and dried bread cubes. She boils the onions and the celery (cut into small pieces) until tender, and adds the raisins in while they're boiling. When they're all tender, she adds the sage (to taste) and the bread cubes, and then stirs them in. Then, she bakes it either in or out of the bird. (She sometimes also adds a few cubes of chicken bullion when boiling)
good to see a post from you as usual. ...and congrats on the weigh in -- don't second guess yourself, because it is *possible* that you actually ate enough less on other days to compensate for t-day. of course, it's good to also be open to the possibility that it will show up next week, but we can only take things one day at a time... i keep telling myself that! talk to you soon :-)
Why does it seem like every time I pop in on you, you are eating one of those Ragin Cajun things! LOLOk, that was like a month or two ago, not trying to make you look bad! LOL I thought it was deja vu for a minute there.
Good to hear from you! Yes, I had a great shopping trip the other day! I need to go back and finish...I missed the whole first floor. :( I know, aren't those boots adorable??
Guess what? I found out that my tort has micro-biotic bone disease!! She has been walking funny with her arms curved under and only drags her legs, so I asked the tort/turtle expert at the pet store and he gave an exact diagnosis. Told me to use a UVA light ( I think ) because she isn't getting enough sunlight and also calcium vitamins to sprinkle on her food. Who knew??? Thank god my dad was here over Thanksgiving to tell me that she just wasn't walking right! Poor thing. And here I thought I was a good turtle mommy! :)
How are the wedding plans? I scanned your blog to see if you've given any details and I don't see any. Can you do a little wedding update post? Take care and have a great weekend! Shelley
