Hello all. We had a wonderful, blessed, and delicious Thanksgiving yesterday. The scale showed only a .2 pound rise this morning vs yesterday's weight. There are lots of leftovers, but I have a big pot of turkey soup which is very diet friendly and the sinfully tempting things are mostly gone (the pecan pie went home with Johnny, the cranberry jello salad was a big hit with the grandkids, and the Sweetie's sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping is down to just a couple of servings left).
I'm awaiting the big reveal at WW next week when they roll out their new plan. I hope to find it interesting enough to adopt it for the next big push in my weight loss program. The nice thing about WW is that they are always sensible. I'm feeling like I need a renewal in my motivation and hope that this pre-Christmas new eating plan will provide that.
Hot 100 Update
1. Weight Loss--I did not got to my WW WI on Wednesday as two sets of family arrived that day. Grandkids not seen in months trump my WI any day! I will be there "with bells on" next Wednesday for sure.
2. Exercise--Fail. I have had 2 rest days rather than just one this week. I had 16 at dinner last night and today went sight seeing with Laura and her family in DC. Lots of walking but no organized exercise. Running tomorrow.
3. Chocolate. Pass--actually I haven't had any this week because I've been too darn busy to go get some!
I'm having a wonderful time with family. I hope to get some good pix to share with you when everybody is back together on Sunday (Johnny and his gang went to visit the "other" grandparents after dinner yesterday).
Love to you all !

Sounds like a busy week! Good job on the chocolate, you'll get back to exercising when the week gets to normal. I totally would have had to get rid of the pecan pie too. My favorite!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've "survived" Thanksgiving very well and had a wonderful time with family. I'd be counting some of that walking and busy work you've been doing as exercise and yourself another tick.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice Thanksgiving:) My family part has been nice too... the eating... not so much.
ReplyDeleteI would count every bit of the walking and the preparing for guests as exercise. Yes, bending to pull dishes out of the oven counts!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a great Thanksgiving...and a strategy for moving forward in a productive way!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had such an excellent holiday! It's great to visit family and have a break in the routine...but then it feels wonderful to jump back into that routine.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a busy, but good week. What a great Thanksgiving!
