Memorial Day Success!

Caramel Cutie

Okay, so I thought I was going to completely fall off the bandwagon over the weekend!:frown: But, I DIDN'T! I was so glad that my friends and family actually cooked foods that were healthy and quite tasty for the weekend!:drinker: My dad is usually the sauced-up ribs, greasy sausage and over-salted chicken KING!:laugh: But, I was pleasantly surprised that he, and others, took heed to my dietary needs! There was fresh fruit, vegetables, grilled chicken and turkey, bottled water, sugar-free jello snacks, and a host of other goodies! And because the fruit and veggies were plentiful, I had something to curb my sweet tooth when all the cobblers and pies were placed on the picnic tables!:bigsmile: In the south, it's all about eatin' when families get together, but this year was extra special for me! I hope it was for everyone else, too!!:drinker: And...got on the scale this moring...I didn't gain an ounce! :happy: Whooo hoooo!:drinker:

How wonderful! I fell off the wagon, it's a lot like the South up here in the West when it comes to families getting together.

Congrats on keeping it together and your family for providing you with great alternatives!

I did great until Mom broke out the Ice Cream Cake.



Yep. You can imagine how that went. It was like a tornado of arms, teeth, fingernails and icecream cake.
