Slacking....or just out of things to say?

I am not sure what is happening to me lately. I know. I used to blog daily. Not so much anymore it seems like, huh?

Saturday we were really busy putting together new electronic equipment. For whatever reason, this took the better part of 5 hours. I had to meet with a friend later and still be a (step-) mom to everyone in the house until then. Sunday we had church, groceries, cleaning and dinner at my mom's.

You know what is fabulous? My mom and her husband made a dinner and actually took my WW program into account. I did not realize that I spoke this much about it to them. Maybe I don't. Maybe I just work it and they "see" it. I did not gorge on as many cookies this Christmas as I had in the past. Maybe they saw that.

Anyway, we had pork steaks, mashed potatoes, corn and gravy. I know, right? Fat, starch and starch. What a meal. And how do I think that they took me into consideration? Well, my mother's husband asked if my son needed a smaller plate. I said, "He doesn't, but I do." I was accommodated. It was nice. I ate only what I "needed"....less than one steak, 1 spoonful of potatoes, and one also of corn. No seconds. The best part is: no one balked at me and my plate size.

Dessert: Sugar-free jello with strawberries and whipcream. YUM.

Then, I got to educate my (nurse) mom on diet. I know that she knows this stuff, but I suppose we forget when we don't use it regularly. Her and her husband are trying to lose weight. Of course, he is doing better than she. Isn't that the way it always goes. Guys before gals.

She is frustrated because she had a big bagel with cream cheese and an orange for mid-morning breakfast so she did not eat lunch. What is wrong with this picture? No lunch. Big bagel. Cream cheese. Gee, mom. Let's look at this again.

I want her to do well. I think it would be worth her while to make it to a WW meeting. I'm not sure she would ever listen to me when I say that. She really likes to eat when she wants, what she wants and how she wants.

Today has been a good day so far. Lunch was fun. I had what felt like to me a HUUUUUGE bowl of fruit for zero points. I weighed out each individually, each equalling zero. YUM. Naturally, I supplemented with a sugar-free chocolate pudding. Later, the kids want me to make smoothies. 2 plastic (Solo) cups for 2 points total. More YUM.

This coming Saturday we will be finishing our fourth week of the year. How are you doing with your goals? Are you making it? What major change have you made in order to make that happen? Are you being consistent? Are you being faithful to yourself? Are you taking time for you?

Re-evaluate your progress every 3-4 weeks. Check that you are on track, making progress.

I will tell you that I am getting ready to complete my 4th goal of my new journey. I know that it will happen this week, along with consistantly staying at my 10 pound loss. (You know how one day it is here, and the next it is gone, but then returns a day or two later.)
