Weeks 9 & 10 - Messin' around

Weight lost this week: .2
Total weight lost: 13.8

Confessions:
Where do I begin...the ward "P" party with lots of yummy "P" foods and leftovers, Peter coming for a visit and fixing Chicken Enchiladas, rolls, pie etc., and just not staying on track the rest of the time! I'm actually thrilled that I didn't gain any weight!

What worked for me:
Once again, not much, except my body was probably in deprivation mode, and maybe eating some extras didn't matter so much. I have been drinking more water, which may have helped also.

Goals for this week:
I'm not sure how much of a chance I have this week! Friday night is a surprise b-day party for Mike McClellan and a dinner for him at Brunson's, to which I have to bring a salad. Saturday we are having Mollie and family for the day, I am hosting the annual Wedgewood Egg Hunt, we are going to Lattin's Cider Mill with the girls to see the animals and have their famous hot apple fritters, and I am fixing ham, potato salad and Grandma Brown's yummy coconut cream cake for our dinner! Then on Sunday, the Brown Family is getting together for another Easter celebration! Again, I am making potato salad, deviled eggs, and Berried Delight for dessert! I hope I can just eat small portions and not have any leftovers! Wish me luck and everyone have a good week!

Way to come out on top after a crazy week! I agree with Michelle; you need to take time to enjoy the holiday foods. That way you won't feel tempted to take as many left-overs from the parties. Have fun with everything you have going on this weekend!
