Weight lost this week: .6
Total weight lost: 13.6
Confessions:
Well, my weight loss says it all, doesn't it?!? I worked really hard on Friday, creating a "fake" house, because we were hosting two members of the BYU Folk Dance Team, which was preforming in Olympia that night. I didn't eat much that day, because I was so busy, so when I got on the scale Saturday morning, I had lost two pounds! I guess that I thought I could slack because of the weight loss, so when I went to the grocery store that morning, I bought some Girl Scout Cookies. Smart move! I ended up eating my share of those!
We were invited to the Conklin's for dinner on Saturday night. I did ok, but it wasn't really a WW meal. They served BBQ chicken, aspargus, rolls, twice baked potatoes, and a really good WW dessert. I will share the dessert recipe in this post. I could have skipped the potato and roll, but they looked really yummy, which they were! Al is a good cook, and Mary's new home is beautiful!
I did ok the rest of the week, but that didn't make up for what I ate on the weekend!
What worked for me:
Obviously not much, but Safeway had their salad mixes for $1.00 so I stocked up on those. I love to have a big salad for dinner, with all sorts of veggies, cottage cheese, picked beets, ham and a few sunflower seeds. It is really filling and takes a long time to eat, which makes me feel like I not being deprived! I also did good on drinking water, it has been warmer here and that helps.
Recipe
Strawberry Angel Cake
1 large sugar free strawberry jell-o
2 cups boiling water
1 (16 oz.) bag of frozen strawberries (or 1 lb. fresh sliced)
1 large (12 oz.) purchased prepared Angel Food Cake
1-8 oz. container Cool Whip Free (no fat)
Dissolve jell-o in boiling water. If using frozen berries, add and stir to defrost. Mash berries when soft. Cube or tear cake into bite size pieces and put in large bowl. Pour jell-o over cake and stir so cake will absorb jell-o. If using fresh berries, and now. Put cake/jell-o mixture into 9 x 13 inch pan and spread evenly. Cover & chill several hours till set. Spread container of Cool Whip on top. Cut into 15 squares. Enjoy!

Goals for this week:
Just try to be careful and keep focused on the end goal. Dad and I are planning a trip to Hawaii next year in February! I really would like to spend some time on the beach, so I need to get busy now! I think I will put a picture of Hawaii on my fridge to keep me on track! Wish me luck and have a good week!

HAWAII!?!? Wow, when did you decide that? That should be a lot of fun! I can relate to the early week weight loss leading to complacency (you'll see in my two week late post tomorrow). At least you still lost something! Good luck with your goals and I hope the weather keeps getting better for you.
i agree with matt - way to stay on the losing track!! and that dessert recipe looks really good! i tried the southwest light soup thing today and it was tasty - thanks for the tip! good luck with your goals this week!!
