Working Backwards
My WW leader had us plan ahead for BBQ's last week. She had us work backwards in order to plan for what we really want to eat. Mine was that I wanted a bratwurst. The planning paid off because I
lost 2.6lbs!
I was apprehensive all day about stepping on the scale because I got to eat what I wanted at 2 BBQ's over the weekend. I got a bratwurst on Saturday, another one on Sunday and shish kebabs on Monday. Also lots and lots of cherries and strawberries all weekend because those were designated "free" for BBQ days. Strawberries dipped in chocolate & whipped cream, brownies, alcoholic cocktails... It was all on plan!!! I didn't cheat on tracking, promise.
Doing the happy dance!
P.S. I forgot to mention that Loki has visited the Neuter Fairy today and has lost something near and dear to him. *evil laugh*

hi
Hi Leanne!! How are you???? I'm so sorry for once again taking forever to come over and say hi....especially since you've left me like a million comments recently! ;)
I love that you are the success story on the main EP page!! And not ME!!!! :)
Yes, we have a Cheesecake Factory, but I'm not a big fan anymore. I never order dessert, anyway, because I fill up on my entree!! We will usually order some to go for the kids, though.
Thats awesome that you ate all that great stuff at those BBQ's and still managed to lose 2 pounds!!
My new kitten, Cleo, got spayed a couple of weeks ago! How is Loki doing? Did he recover well? We had to keep our kitty in for 10 very long days!!! But she's all recovered and back to her old ADD self! :)
Hope you're still doing good! Bet you're excited to be out for the summer!!!! I can't believe its almost been a year since you got married!! Wow. Time flies, huh???
Ok, take care and talk to you soon!

I'm late
WTG on the loss this week. I know I'm a bit slow seeing this but my leader did the same thing on Memorial weekend and I loved it! I very much helped with my cravings and not going over.
She actually had us create a plate of things we wanted to eat and from those things pick on, one that we would eat and not feel quilty about, but then to fill up on fruit and such.
Great job for losing that weekend!
Hope you come back to EP soon.
