Proud

I'm not often proud of myself, or admit to being proud of myself. But yesterday was one of those days. My main goal was to get through Thanksgiving without gaining any weight. I just wanted to stay the same. When I stepped on the scale at WW yesterday morning, I said a quick prayer. Amy, my wonderful leader, said okay, you are down. (I like it when Amy weighs me in, she will tell me if I am up or down and not save the shock for when I look at my book.) Then she started looking and handed me my book and said, "Look." I looked at my weight sticker and almost fell in the floor. I lost 2.4 pounds. That's right, I lost weight over Thanksgiving. I was actually proud of myself on Thanksgiving day. While everyone was complaining about being stuffed from eating to much, I wasn't. I had my plate of food and that was it. Now, I'm going to pump myself up for getting through Christmas.

If you know me at all, you know that I love to try new recipes. Here are some food blogs I am really liking right now: Budget Bytes: www.budgetbytes.blogspot.com and Watch my Butt Shrink: www.watchmybuttshrinking.com. These both have some good looking recipes on them.
