SO...
After a wonderful weekend fueled by Caesars, light beer, tacos, caramel apples, gin and soda, ravioli and cheesecake - I still managed to lose 1/2 a Pound at WW this week. I planed fr this event and was so pleased to see a small victory at the scale. I've lost just about 7 lbs and am motivated to keep going.

I am so looking forward to a real long weekend! TG and I are heading to a cottage we've rented on the beach/ THe weather better be nice and none of this 18 degree bull crap we are experiencing today - WTF?!

Speaking of bull crap - TG and I are classified as occasional smokers as per retarded medical underwriters due to the fact that we shared a cigar on our honeymoon and disclosed that fact during an interview. Telling the truth in THIS circumstance does not pay off - word of warning! LIE and feel no guilt about doing so - they are out to screw you.

On a brighter note, we were ordering some shirts from a catalogue at work as a kind of "uniform" and when I asked another lady (who I thought was very similar in size) what size she was getting, she replied "medium" but then quickly said "but you are smaller then me" - what?! Goes to show I don't see what others do and maybe I never will - I will work on the mirror thing later...

If it is to be; it is up to me...

WW...

As a couple of my readers know, I have rejoined WW. I am a former lifetime member - I went back, swallowed my pride and stepped back on the scale over a week ago. I want to pretend I am a rookie and get back to the basics of weight loss. I told TG that I was going to be a newlywed that lost 10 lbs rather then gained it in the first year - I am hoping for more...17.5 lbs to be exact.

That being said I am committed to go every Wednesday morning. The first week was a success at the scale and I am on track. I think TG and I will both benefit from my efforts. So far so good...

Looking for my confidence again - I know it is there...

Eat, Pray, Love - do I want to see it? Do I want to he hungry and jealous the entire movie? Not sure...

I have to agree with Momma Bear and conclude that the food network is like porn for those of us on WW!

LOVE Kettle Brand Baked Chip - so much bang for your buck - moderation is key! TG even likes them - they don't take like crap (cough cough...baked lays)

Looking forward to a mini-getaway next weekend in TO. Going to stay overnight(s) and have a couple drinks with my husband (counted of course). We are going to catch the TFC game and spend the evening like kids at the CNE. Following that - we will spend the rest of the night like adults if I have anything to say about it! I am hoping we find time to have a sit down dinner but I am thinking that playing it by ear will be our best bet. If the food network is porn I am guessing the food building at the CNE will be like going to the strippers!

Plan and prevent rather then repair and repent...

Cheers,
Mano

Long Weekend? Blah!

The dealership was open Saturday and TG had to work with the recent move - in fact he was called in for today so after a nice breakfast I am alone with the kitties on what was supposed to be a little getaway day. I am looking forward to a couple other weekends we have coming up this month - it'll make up for the disappointment of this weekend.

Not all was lost - we had a good meal with my parents and won a little at the track last night. It was a nice evening out with the family.

I want our new house! I am getting anxious and realize that packing this early will not make the day come any faster...

I got an invitation from Momma Bear to read her blog and for all the compliments she ever gave me about SITTC, she should realize that she is a more inspired and dedicated write then I ever was and hope to be - please keep it up and I miss ya!
