I went in for WI yesterday, and I am still under goal.  Yay!  I still need to work on it.  I would like to be at least 5 lbs. under goal, you know, for wiggle room.  I don't know if that will happen, but I am going to try.  Have a wonderful day.  I have to work on my Christmas cards, buying kid's stuff and hubby's stuff too.  Well, you ladies and gentlemen have a wonderful day, I will be thinking of you.

I have not gone back to weigh in, since I am hovering the 2 lbs over my goal weight.  I did some treadmilling, but that really doesn't seem to help.  I need to go in before Christmas, in case I lose control during Christmas.  I hear there is a new program at WW.  I am looking forward to seeing it , but I am not going to pay, I am going to get down below goal, by next week.  I just have to.  I will be strong. 

It snowed here yesterday.  Okay, so it didn't stick, but the kids were very excited to see snow.  The last time we saw snow was 2004 and again, it barely covered the ground but the kids were excited.  We rarely see snow.  It does create havoc, with everyone not knowing how to drive in the icy conditions.  It was fun.  DH and I were excited too.  It has cleared and should be a clear but cold day, but it will get above freezing by this afternoon.

Okay, well, we went into San Antonio on Wed.  We went to a restaurant called Alamo Cafe, our favorite in SA.  They have the best queso and flour tortillas.  I had lots of queso and tortillas.  Plus the chips.  I did order a chicken fajita salad and could not finish the chicken, but did finish the greens.  Thurs. I had a normal size lunch for turkey, but then we went to see a movie and ate lots of popcorn.  I did stop, eventually, which usually, I cannot stop eating popcorn.  We went back to the folks house and ate some sweets and came back to Houston area.  We went to dh's family's house.  I had a small saucer of salad, sweet potatoes, rice.  Then I had a piece of pecan pie.  Now I am back on track.  I woke up weighing 149.2.  I need to get it down before Monday WI.  I will drink lots of water and stay within my points.  Maybe I will catch a walk or two between now and then.  I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  It is a hard season to be in now.  The feasting season.  Be strong and please keep me in your prayers, that I may have strength against foolish eating.  I have to remember I eat to live, not live to eat.

I dropped 2.4 this week!!!  That means I am .4 below my goal weight!!!  Woohoo.  I am so excited.  I know I did not eat well this last week.  What with basketball games, I was eating popcorn, but wouldn't eat dinner.  I think that is why I lost.  I hope this continues, the losing I mean.  Tonight is bb again.  I hope the boys win!!!  Happy Thanksgiving.

But at least it is going in the right direction.  I went to dd's school and reshelved books in the library for 2 hours.  Up and down, bending and straightening, that should be worth something.  Today, I walked to and from the drs.  It was about 30 minutes going and about 20 coming.  That should be good for something.  I am going to go fold laundry.  So I will check in on you all soon.

I am so sad.  I went up one pound.  Then came home and had a chocolate chip cookie and part of my son's cookie cake.  But that is it.  I almost went into the Halloween candy, but stopped myself.  I am having a progresso southwest soup for 1 pt.  I had a banana and I will have a smoothie.  So besides the cookies, that will be 3 points.  The rest of the day, I will do well.  I will count the cookies 15 points from my WPA.  Do you think that is a fair estimate?  Or should it be all 35 WPAs.  I am eating my soup slow.  I will lose that pound and more.  I bought a WW food scale and see how that will work for me.  Please say some prayers for me that I will have strength and faith. 

Today is my son's bday.  My son is 17 years old.  I cannot believe that much time has gone by.  When he was born he weighed 9 lbs, 2 ounces and was 21 3/4 inches long.  Now he is 6' 3" and is 180 lbs.  He wears size 14-15 in shoes.  It is absolutely amazing the man he is becoming.  I am so overwhelmed with joy.

We are going to eat at a Mexican restaurant.  That will be difficult.  There are chips and queso, not to mention the fat in the food and salt.  I love salt.  MMMMMMmmmmm.  What to do.  Well I will drink lots of water.  I would love a margarita, but that won't be good.  They have so many points.  I bought him a sheet cake, from Nestle's Tollhouse, a cookie cake.  That will be difficult.  I will have some, but hopefully, not too much.  We bought him a sports bag, with shoes, for basketball, so he can break them in, insoles, towels for the bag, socks, pj bottoms with his hi school logo on it, shorts and shirt, 2 movies, $100. and texting for his phone, plus we had already bought him a basketball goal with glass backboard.  Hopefully he will like the gifts.  We renewed his license today.  Well, I need to get them moving.  chat with you soon.
