Hello to all of our Lightweights!!!  If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!!    Besides my tool,  I count  Posting on the LW board as my #1 reason for being successful on this exciting journey!!!!     

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period!!!!

Over the hump day LW's!!!   I'm off Friday so I guess I'm part way over the hump.  We are having our office Christmas party today.  I made a huge fruit salad to share.  We will be eating fruit the rest of the week.  I'm allowed blueberries and grapes so I enjoyed some of those.  One girl made chili and I only took a very small portion.  It probably wasn't a good idea.

So far today I am having a good day.  I will probably pay later for the choices I made at lunch though. 

I scheduled off so I could finish up my shopping and wrapping but it turns out I am watching grandkids all day because my 2 DD's have to help at the kindergarten's Christmas parties.  Too bad one is in the morning and the other is in the afternoon!!  I can probably get some wrapping done when I have the baby because he won't have a clue what I'm doing.  Next week I only work 2 days....YEAH!!!!

I really like the variety in your menu!

One of the girls made chili that wasn't spicy at all and it was sooooo delicious.  It did make me cramp one little bit.  She is going to give me the recipe.  I'm sure it isn't something I can eat every day but once in awhile will give me my chili fix.

Fortunately we don't have candy bowls at work but I'm having trouble with the cinnamon almonds that we made at work a few weeks ago.

Almost Good!!
