It Came...It Went...And I Survived!

Thanksgiving was my first major holiday since I have been on WW, and I have to admit I was a little nervous. I still try to keep perspective, because in the grand scheme of WW, I still get a LOT of daily points (37 now). My mom and my sisters and I spent a nice amount of time trying to plan out our dinner menu, trying to make things a little on the lighter side. Normally, we would have turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, broccoli casserole, and a multitude of desserts to choose from. We would also normally have about 16 people for dinner, but this year we are just keeping it immediate family. It was nice not to have to have all the fake conversation with people that you only see on major holidays. This year we cut out the casseroles and had asparagus and steamed green beans. The boys in the family weren't thrilled by any means, especially my husband, because he LOOOOOOVES green bean casserole. Oh well. 
So we started out the morning with our local Turkey Trot. Its the first time we have ever done it, and by "we" I mean me, my sisters, and my mom. We walked it, and my mom only stayed with us through the first mile, but it was exciting because it was the first time we had ever done something like that - all of us together.
After the Turkey Trot, I stopped at my mom's house to weigh in, since Thursdays are my WI day. Last week, I weighed in at 239 and change, and so as the scaled announced it was ready, I stepped up with my eyes closed saying, "Please be 238, please be 238." And the scale announced, "Two hundred thirty four point eight pounds." WHAT?!?! Are you serious?!?!? I lost 4.6 lbs last week!! As I walked out to update my tracker, I was just dumb founded, and totally thrilled. And then as I typed in my weight, I was like **** ! I am only 0.3 lbs away from my next goal - 10% loss. Not even half a pound to go! Lol. And then I didn't even us all my points that day! So all in all, it was a pretty good stinking day! Now let's just hope I can keep off that 4.6 lbs this week and lose a little more than the 0.3 lbs to reach my goal on Thursday!


Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!!
