WW Weigh In Week Seven

So this past week was a little rough! Birthday cakes, eating out A LOT, and not really focusing on the foods I was putting in my mouth! To top it all off, Mom and I didn't get to get our walks in on Tuesday and Thursday like we normally do. So needless to say I was scared. I had prepared myself for the moment when I stepped on the scale and would see the number rise up from where it had been. I was ready, but not ready.

But I had to go and step on the scale. All of the kids were out of school Friday, and mom and I had planned to walk, so I told her I would just run to WW first get the bad news and then we would hit the ground runnin, or walking rather!

I got to my weigh in, kid free, for the first time. I was nervous. I slipped off my shoes and stepped up to the scale. I looked at the number but could not remember what the number was last week. The lady behind the desk said, ok, so I stepped down and asked, "So is it up?"

She said no, you're down .5. Seriously down .5??? I will take it! I was just so happy to have been down another week. Now I'm down 18.2 pounds, only 1.8 pounds to go until I've reached my first small goal of 20 pounds! When I reach that I get to treat myself to a pedicure. I'll probably take mom too, since her feet keep my feet walking! (Plus I haven't had one since Candie treated before my cruise in NOVEMBER)

So another week of WW is down and another one has begun! I made it through Lucy's birthday party with a few cheese balls, one cupcake and a diet Dr. Pepper. I have to go out to eat tonight with some great food and even better friends. But I've prepared well. So far today I've had water and all zero point foods! So I can enjoy myself and the food tonight!

Hope this Monday finds you all happy and healthy.

Prayers to all of the people who are suffering after the earthquake and tsunami over seas. This snow really is no big deal compared to what they have experienced over there. My heart is heavy for them today.

Also, I'd like to give a shout out to the birthday girl, Candie! Happy Birthday dear friend! So many memories...so little time! Love you!
