1 Down, 1 To Go

Ahh, Thanksgiving is over. How'd you do? I can honestly say that I did a lot better than I do most years. We went to the in-laws and had a great turkey casserole. It had the turkey, gravy and stuffing all in one. Granted it's not the best for you, it kept me from having a plate full of stuffing. My husband and I both heeded my advise and we felt loads better after the meal than anyone else there. When dessert came around I passed. I did however, have some cookies later than night. I had a couple pops and chips and chili cheese dip. It was kind of hard not taking all the things that I usually do and drinking a 12 pack during the 2 days we stay with my in-laws. But, on the way home I felt better than ever. Usually we are both so tired and don't want to do anything. When we got home we unpacked the car and went to my parents. We only had about 6 hrs of sleep and felt just fine. Even though I tried so hard to eat healthy my scale won't budge for a couple of days. The good thing is that I didn't gain anything during those 2 days. Come Christmas time and Christmas parties I probably won't have any pop. Is a pop really worth not losing weight? Probably not.

After only 3 weeks of this new life style I have gotten so used to it that I didn't think of it as being hard to take my own food and snacks, workout in the morning, and make the right choices. Our 2.5 year old is even making health choices. Seeing her ask for radishes and carrots makes me feel so good. How many kids her age would ask for those?

In a couple days I will be back to giving tips for weight loss and healthy living. Until then:
Good luck with all your weight loss goals. You can do it!!
