Who else was a little anxious stepping on the scale this morning? Was I the only one?
Yesterday's moderation paid off this morning with a surprising two pound loss though, to be fair, it is really only 1-1/2 pounds because I was half-way there on Wednesday. Still, a loss is a loss and I'm feeling pretty A-OK about it.
Yesterday was not without its' typical mishaps. I ran out of fuel about 20 minutes into BBQ-ing the turkey. The boys lost part of the hose nozzle in the gutter downspout (true disaster potential later). It ultimately all came together in a fantastic meal and a great time. My favorite holiday rarely disappoints.
Most of the people I know were up quite a bit before me- pounding the plastic at the stores. I'm really not into that “lemmings-to-the-register” thing and took advantage of online deals. I feel like I've lost the drive to consume in excess, instead going for moderation in all things including gift-giving. If you're one one of those Black Friday shopping warriors I say good for you! Thanks for stimulating the economy and send me a gift (I'd love a new nano) - it'll make us both a little merrier.
(Day 188 / -103 lbs.) So Far, So Good

For Thanksgiving I was on vacation so no where near a scale on Fri. for my usual weigh in (we rented a house on the beach) - but even though we had a huge meal with 14 family members - I managed to just have turkey and green beans for dinner, with only 1 small bite of three desserts as a special treat (they were home made and the bakers - my daughter and sister - really wanted me to try them).
So far since I've been home the scale is holding steady - hopefully by Fri for the offical weighin I can lose a bit or at least stay the same.
Awesome, Lady Rose!
