Learning to LIVE

Well by some miracle of miracles I am down 2 pounds this week! I was so excited when I stepped on the scales this morning. I am feeling so good about myself! Last night at church someone even asked me if I had lost weight and told me I looked great! And my sister noticed as well. :)

This week I have a lot going on. My husband is graduating with his doctorate so tonight is his banquet and tomorrow is his graduation. We will have a lot of family in which equals a lot of delicious food. We have a… Continue

Hello Everyone! Thanks for the sweet comments on my last post about blowing it. I am happy to report that I did not continue on a binge. I got right back on track and I stuck to my points Saturday and yesterday. The scales are also moving in the right direction. I normally don't step on the scales until weigh in day but I guess I was just nervous about it with all that I ate. I have to keep reminding myself like Roni does sometimes that one night of eating is not going to reverse every bit of wo… Continue

Well ladies I blew it last night. It all started when I did a favor for one of the ladies at work yesterday. To thank me, at about 4:00 she brought me a Diet Coke and a Milky Way. Those are my favorite. So I ate the whole stinking thing. At the time I was like, well no big deal, I can still stay in my points if I just eat a healthy dinner. Then I went to my mom's house and they decided they wanted to go to Zaxby's to eat. I love Zaxby's. They have the best french fries and chicken fingers in the… Continue
