Ready for the Weekend
I lost a pound this week! Hooray! I'm now lower than I was at my wedding last July, 218.5. That's 68 lbs down from my highest ever. (By the way, I'm 5'8"). You know, it's frustrating that I haven't made it to goal, but I try to remind myself that I never gained it all back like most people do either. I am rededicated and doing pretty well.
BUT. My brother, sister-in-law, and their kids are visiting this weekend. Oh, let me count the challenges. Let's see, there's a big dinner at our parents...twice! There's the fact that the kids' favorite foods are mac and cheese and chicken nuggets! Is it any wonder really why everyone is battling their weight? Do you ever hear of a kid's favorite food being carrots or strawberries? That would be because the parents don't eat them either! And so the cycle continues.
So, I'm couning points again this week instead of doing CORE since I know the family dinners will not be core friendly. I'm planning on splitting my bonus points between Saturday and Sunday and NOT going over them. I don't care WHAT dessert my father pulls out, I will be strong and think about the navy blue dress slacks that are starting to fit normal again. I will also think about the miniskirt that I want to wear this summer. Goals, goals, goals.

Congrats on the weight loss!
I've been trying to the follow the program for the last few months - have maybe two days on program and then screw up the rest of the week!
One day I'll follow it properly - actually I'm starting that today - I need to be proud enough to say that I actually survived 1 week on weight watchers.
