Menu 11.29.07

Well I've been doing good, I've been on plan for a week as of tomorrow, so a NSV in itself being the temptations I've resisted at work. I dont know that I will see a loss this week, as it's my TOM gain week, but at least I won't be upset knowing that.

For some reason I haven't been getting on the scale daily this week, and I think it's working better. So I am going to go with the weight watchers way of just stepping on once a week for right now. We'll see how that works. My goal is to be OP completely until Christmas. Which I do admit will be hard with alot of the baking that I will be doing.

So I have a question for my loyal readers, I've decided to make cookie trays for the guys at work as a christmas present, we have about 25 employees, so I'm talking alot of cookies (and baking), if you were to get a cookie tray, what kinds of different cookies would you guys like to see on that tray? I need ideas, I would maybe like to try and put 10-15 different types of cookies on the trays.

I'm alive, Really

I just realized how long it had been since I posted, wow. But I'm alive, I'm back!

I had a great time up north again this weekend, and I did manage to pretty much stay on plan for the weekend. I say pretty much because on Saturday at lunch time, I did have my sandwich and preplanned food, but my mom put a bowl of fresh picked up north Cherries in front of me. Needless to say, I ate a bunch, but I did count them, the best I could anyways. Plus, they were fruit, can't go too hog-wild on fruit right?

But needless to say, I managed to stay on plan pretty good, and this morning when I weighed myself I was only up .2lbs, so thats not bad. Hopefully I can get that and a little more off by weigh in.

Although TOM is approaching, and for some reason it's been screwing up two weigh in's lately instead of just one, very frustrating. But I'm praying for a small loss this week, and then my normal 1 to 2 pound TOM gain the following week.

I hate this week though, I get so munchie from TOM that I find myself having a ton of BLT's gotta get that under control if I want to see a loss.

Other than that, everything is going great. I got my first cucumbers out of my garden last night, so that was exciting. It's been hotter than heck here for the last two days, yesterday was 95, today is no better. Tomorrow is suppose to be 78, go figure.

And tomorrow I'm going to see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, crazy excited!

Alright, back to work for me. But I hope everyone is have a fabulously healthy day!

Weigh In Dilemma

Well I had a little bit of a weigh in dilemma this morning. I don't really know what to do about it.

A little bit of history. I've been weighing myself every Saturday morning, right when I get up, on a scale I newly purchasesd when I started WW in January.

Typically I step on once, get the weight, and then step on a second time just to "recheck" I've ALWAYS gotten the same weight. Today I stepped on the first time, got 150.4, which was a maintain, hey, I'm good with that. Then I rechecked 152.4. Again, 152.4, then again 154. Then again 153. So I'm at loss of which weight to use.

I've talked to a couple of the girls on the board and got varying opinions. I think I'm going to go with the first weight (because it's favorable) and then re-weigh in the morning to see what I get, TOM should be along today.

I'll just take the average of today and tomorrow's weigh in's and run with it. Sometimes I get so frustrated. I know I didn't overeat, so I know the gain is just a cycle, but it's a good way to throw me off the happy losing track. Oh Well!
