Good day all! And lets welcome our newest member.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was good, but boy oh boy was I tired out ysterday evening. Went to bed shortly after 7 pm. Didn't wake up until almost 6:30 this morning. I had a blas****ching the grandkids hunt around for thier easter eggs. I was really impressed that even the 1 1/2 year old caught right on to the easter egg hunt. What a cute scene it was watching the 2 of them running aound looking everywhere they could think of for them. We had beautiful weather in the afternoon, and also got to spend some time outdoors.

We have a new post from a new member up in the welcome post area, please check it out and give her an official Bariatric Buddy welcome to our group!

So.. what did you all do over the weekend? Was it hard to stay on track for anyone? I did break down and have a very small helping of strawberry shortcake. Just a little bit, but enough to get a taste of it and not feel deprived. Was it the best choice? well probably not.. but I did keep it in check. So i am not beating myself up over it. I think as we get further out, now and then we have to allow ourselves a small taste of things on rare occassion, so we do not get to feeling deprived and go overboard. Now if I was earlier out, I would have dumped on that, and would have never allowed myself the splurge. I think I ate about 1/4 cup of the desert altogether. Now.. Its back to towing the line!

It was a so-so weekend for me food-wise. I admit, I did go overboard on the lamb and I allowed myself half a chocolate bar (filled with cherry liqueur - yum!) but I was good on calories overall. It's back to my dull but easier on the stomach diet today!

We had a good day at my brother in-laws house.  I had a taste of ham, a deviled egg, half a roll and butter and that was it.  Don't feel deprived in the least and I hadn't seen my hubby's side of the family since Christmas so it was very cool to hear about the weight loss since the last time they saw me.  I was also given a brand new pair of Harley Davidson boots that I just love. They were a men's size that didn't fit anybody but me.  Never been worn before and they are very cool.

Hubby is home for the day; it's considered the holiday for him until tomorrow and he gets paid for it.  We are going to take a trip to the ear, nose, throat doctor for my checkup this afternoon and I can give her my new diagnosis.  After that a quick trip to Lowes and then off to the in-laws to swap motorcycle parts and a shirt for my SIL.

I started getting back into my jewelry making a little bit again.  I made an ankle bracelet to go with my outfit yesterday only to discover that I didn't have clasps. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!  Oh well, trip to one of my favorite places in the world; the craft store!

I hope you all had a great holiday and good day today.

All in all a good holiday.  I hope you all had a blessed day.

Sounds great Colleen. I had a great weekend too.
