    What made me proud....

    went to chinese buffet - was going to get the you pick we cook that way I could limit what went into what I was eating - told them no butter - had this a thousand times before and butter is the only fat Well not today - they put the shrimp on the grill with no butter but then added a TON of oil to the veggies-well i didn't eat a single bite-came home and ate a smarter choice here!

    I think my husband thinks I am losing my mind I am so obsessive about what I won't eat.

    My family and I went to a buffet on Sunday. After the hubby and kids were settled in I headed straight to the salad "island". I made myself a huge salad, fat free dressing and got nice and full. After finishing that I ate a tiny bit of potatoes, turkey and gravy. I felt so good. And, NO DESSERT of my own, just a bite of each of the kids' ice cream. Yay me!!! My husband thought I'd lost my mind when I came back with salad.

    Today, I walked 96 stairs to our office instead of jumping on the elevator when a co-worker held it for me. And, the scale granted me a 1lb weight loss this morning!

    Happy Monday everyone!

    The time change wears me out. The kids get off schedule too. But, man is it gorgeous here today. One weather station in our area said we could hit 78 today. Our norms are upper 40's lower 50's for this time of year. Is this the calm before the storm? Kati

    Made home-made soup, so I know what's in it! I also threw away the candy.

    ....and ordered the ZUMBA DVD series. I'll check back in a week to be proud of doing it! :tongue:

    Gotta start somewhere.

    Tresa is making me post again...so for fear of being beaten down if I don't pop in...today I am proud because I just went to the fridge to get some water, and of course I was tempted by the Mexican rice that is left over from last night...I almost grabbed it, thinking what harm could it possibly do...but I stopped and instead got one of my new 0 calorie "pickle paks"...and I still have 109 calories left to have my 100 calorie kettle corn later tonight...so far no binge...and one was staring me in the face...so for that I am proud

    I watched my daughter on the Golf Channel tonight-- they were showing a one hour long presentation of the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team that she was on in September. It was awesome-- my husband has taught this young lady a skill that has changed her life, and has given her such a bright future. I'm so proud of them both. I cried like a baby watching it-- she's just so darned beautiful and so sweet and so talented. I'm one very proud mama.:love:

    ARRGGHHH I'm still not done working!! :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

    Now ... if lunacy doubles your calories burned, I should be skinny. I should have disappeared long ago!!!

    I wonder if the golf channel is available online anywhere ... I'd love to look for your daughter Marla! I'm so proud!

    Oy, I need to get back to work ... I will look at this thread more ... well it may not be tomorrow ... tomorrow looks WORSE than today ... but maybe I'll have time ... and respond appropriately. Or as close to appropriately as I ever get.

    In the meantime ... oh dang it... I have a lot I want talk about ... this is torture.

    Nitey nite loves ...
