Well I had a rough past week. I have been dealing with a horrible cough and seasonal sinus problems.
Well due to the sickness and lack of appetite I have drop down to a wopping 126 so 4lbs lost. Well, hopefully I will get over this by this weekend so that I can get back to my normal workout plan.

if anyone wants to do a challenge this weekend, it is: TO SHARE HOW YOU ARE MAKING YOUR THANKSGIVING MEAL HEALTHIER. i will post the challenge on thursdays after the weigh-in. it will be a random idea and you can chose to participate or not. if you do, have fun! we can all use some new and helpful ideas.0

I don't think mine will be any healthier than any other year - it's not what's on the table that matters in this one around here.. it's what's on the plate!! LOL We do a pretty traditional menu.0

My sister is preparing our Thanksgiving meal. I'm going to eat a lot of veggies, small portions of everything else and enjoy a small piece of cheesecake!

our thanksgiving meal is much smaller this year. we are having:
prime rib and roast turkey
tomato and mozzarella caprese
mushroom stuffing
mashed potatoes and brown gravy
green bean casserole
parmesan roasted asparagus
steamed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots
zucchini, corn and mint salad
raspberry jello (with real raspberries in it)
pineapple
rolls
pumpkin pie with whipped cream
pecan pie
normally it is three times as large so i am happy that we have cut it down. i can't wait to celebrate thanksgiving with my family! what are you looking forward to eating the most? i think i am looking forward to the pecan pie. yum! i love how sweet and sugary it is. either that or the caprese (but only if i can find good, ripe tomatoes).
one more weigh-in! work your tails off this week!0 -
Last weigh in tomorrow - thinking good thoughts!
Every year we all do heavy casseroles, so this year my sisters and I are all bringing good veggie dishes instead.
I'm doing the Broccoli Cranberry Salad from the 'Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation' recipes. Using light mayo and
cider vinegar to create a great creamy base on these high fiber veggies. Can't wait!0 -

Apparently not caring is kinda working for me lol. Oh well, so I didnt make my goal but I plan to still be mindful of what I'm eating although I think I'm going to avoid tracking calories for right now and just kind of do a running mental estimation each day...It worked this week! And good news is I'm not stressing about every little thing I put in my mouth. It's the holidays so why not relax a little?
Since the begining of the challenge I've lost 4.8 lbs and since I got back from my cruise I've lost 8.8 so I'm not super excited but then again I only have about 7lbs to go til I'll be at my ideal weight!0 -
