Down with the Sistas

So today is the final weigh-in of the Dreaming of a Light Christmas Challenge that I signed up for with the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. The challenge began on December 1st and went through yesterday. So here's the skinny: last week I was up .2# and this week I am down .2#, so I am back to where I was two weeks ago. My overall loss for the Challenge was 5.1#. I set my original goal at 5# which I honestly thought was nuts to try to lose over the holidays. But I did it!

I signed up for Weight Watchers online a few weeks ago, but I honestly have not been following it. I have found that it makes me neurotic trying to track points and I that I really do better when I just make an effort to pay attention to what is going in my mouth. I have also found that if I make lunch my big meal I usually do better. So that's when I usually eat the most calories. I will confess though that this morning I stopped for donuts on the way to school because we were super late and Katie had not eaten. We have not had donuts in MONTHS due to Kyle's wheat and egg allergies so I indulged. Maybe it was my reward for completing the challenge...nah, it was really that I had not eaten a donut in months and I wanted one. But I am really proud of us for not having them for so long because we used to
be the family that got donuts almost every Sunday.

I'll definitely be signing up for the next Challenge! Want to join us??? Just head over to Shrinking Jeans tomorrow and see what they have in store for us.
