It wasnt so bad afterall!  All my hustling this week paid off.  Ok…let me break it down. 

I lost 4.6 pounds since Sunday.  But let me explain, while some of that was actual weight I am sure, I know alot was fluids too.  Too many salty, unhealthy foods had me bloated.  But regardless the scales are headed back down.  But I am still 14.2 pounds away from WW’s goal for me.  So while I am down (YAY!) I am still up from where I was just a few months ago (not so yay but still ok). 

It was great to see all my old buddies again, it was like a big reunion even though it had only been 3 weeks.  But there was an energy in the meeting I havent felt in a long time.  Maybe shutting us down for a while was a good thing.  Kinda rocked everyone’s boat for awhile.  Even our leader seemed stronger and better prepared.  I love her to death but she got shoved into that position with little training when our original leader up and left us.  At first I was worried but now I know she can do it.  We love and support her so much and we know she fought to get us back together.  She is gonna do wonders for us.

No exericse for me today, as always Thursday are my lax day.  I had shopping to do this afternoon plus I need to catch up with my buddies here so I am gonna play today.  I was craving something sweet when I got in so I grabbed a 100 calorie snack pack of the Oreo Cakesters, those things are really good and hit the spot.  Try them if you havent.

For once I am not dreading the weekend.  I am already planning my eating and exercise and have a firm grasp on it.  I plan to visit my grandmother this weekend and that alone can be a struggle.  Her cooking is to die for…literally.  Fat, fat and more fat but my goodness!  I am a good ol southern girl afterall and our grammies are suppose feed us chicken and dumplins, right? ;-p  But sadly enough, not this weekend. I have already told her not to cook that I would be bringing my own.  She asked if her cooking wasnt good enough for me anymore but I told her it always would be but not this trip.  She is more picking on me than anything else, my grandmother has been one of my biggest supporters.  She is one of the reasons I am doing this, she had her first heart attack at 52.  I dont want to have that happen to me.  So she understands.  I have gone down before with Lean Cuisine in hand only to find she has roasted chicken breasts and boiled potatoes for me.  She will be 88 in April but I have the coolest grandmother ever.  She loves seeing me skinny again and will do anything to help me out! 

Ok my loves, I am off to check out your blogs.  Hope everyone else is looking forward to a nice weekend!! 

PS to Nancy! I did think about you last night as I was writing my own smelly blog.  Why in the world did I think I was any different than you when I started eating all that?  But I really didnt think the fiber would affect me that way.  Lessons learned, right?  And now we are kindred (and farty) sisters at heart!
