AWE....so sorry about your Son's cat. Except for my bird all of our animals have been outside ones so I never got to attached.

Congrats on being successful over the holidays!! I didn't do so good.

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.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Boring day at work! I guess I should enjoy it because tomorrow could be a nightmare! I told DH to hide all of the extra candy before I get home...LOL YES....I lost my senses.......

Easter Sunday was nice. Just DH, DS and me. I fixed a ham dinner so we have lots of ham left. I made a Key Lime Pie (WW recipe) with yogurt, SF Jello and Cool whip. Very light and creamy and sugar free. I put the filling in individual graham cracker crust.

This morning didn't start so well. As I was leaving, I saw a cat at the end of the driveway. I approached it and it didn't move so I let my son know. It was his cat. She had gotten out without him knowing. She was only 7 years old. He tQuesthinks she may have been diabetic because she had been drinking a lot of water. There were no marks on her so she wasn't in a fight. He was crazy about her. She didn't like anyone but him.

We need some good vibes sent our way. I looked at shelters for another dog but have decided I'm not ready for another one. I miss my Sophie so much. She would always come in when I was sewing and lay under my sewing table.

I've had 2 instances at work Friday and today that I say no, thanks and felt so good about it. My manager asked if it would bother me if she brought out a package of peanut butter eggs. I told her no so 3 of them were eating them. They weren't Hershey so I wasn't missing anything. Cupcakes were brought in today for a birthday and I didn't have one. Instead, I had a Quest breakfast bar.
