Weekly Check In: Making you think twice about that SUGAR COOKIE!

Wow, Karen - looks like on your ticker you've lost a HUNDRED pounds!!   Yahoooo for you!!!  Good going, woman!

Thanks so much, Mary.  The real miracle is that I've lost 8 more lbs. and during the holidays too!  But I've got just under 200 more lbs. to lose, so I've got to put the holidays (and the holiday sweets) behind me and put the pedal to the metal.  LOL

Happy New Year!

Well - you go girl!  I put those sweets aside for the most part last week and lost several pounds this week!  YAY!

WHOO-HOO! 100! Congrats!!

That's a lot of Bourbon balls. Ten 10-lb sacks of flour. 20 5-lb sacks of sugar.

Good luck keeping the debil  out of your mouth (the cookies).

Since we had the family Christmas on Sunday at my house, I've been bringing in leftover junk to work. Yesterday I got rid of the cookies. Today it's the chocolate.

I weigh on Tuesdays. 

Starting weight 399
Surgery 384
Last wk  339
This wk  338.5

Only a half a pound this week.  I've been flirting with danger.  Eating candy, cookies, chex mix, nuts, etc.   MUCH less than I used to, but too much to keep my good losses going.  Time to stop and control myself.  Not sure if I dump, eating small amounts of treats, but too often.

Well I got a nice distraction today at work. We had ANOTHER holiday lunch (which I avoided) but then someone was leaving and today is their last day so I thought I should show up for her. So I was passing out the store bought cake and nobody wanted any because they were so full. They told me to come to the lobby as I had a visitor and I was thinking it would be one of 2 friends.

I got to the lobby and there are 2 young women in their 20's: one white and one Indian. I don't recognize them and I'm thinking that these are new resident physicians who need computer access. I looked again and the lovely Indian woman is MY DAUGHTER FROM LOS ANGELES. She surprised all of us by flying in. Needless to say there were tears. The people at work were SO nice and handed me a box of Kleenex and let me show her off. Sarah said she told them she was my daughter and could she go back to my office. They said, "no way, we want to see Ronda's face when she sees you!"

So I've had the nicest evening. Sarah says she can tell that I've lost almost 50 lbs and she seems really glad to be home. My son and his fiancee arrive tomorrow. So.......I got what I wanted for Christmas for sure. We're going through her old baby book and her adoption stuff.

It will be January soon and the folks at work will all be on diets and the food will disappear and it will be easier. Sarah is vegetarian and picky about food, so I won't need to do much cooking.

I'm rambling. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 

What a great surprise for Christmas.. It sounds like you are going to have a wonderful Christmas..

Yep your right.. January will be here before you know it and everyone will be on a diet.. just think you are ahead of the game.. they will be jealous..

Enjoy your family and the new you.. what a great holiday you are having.. bests gifts ever...

That's a wonderful surprise!

Merry Christmas!

I weigh in on Wednesdays.
