2.2 down

O.O did you say 2.2??? calling all deities, REALLY?! :D i think i'm cruising for an up week, but i will take these losses quite happily. it was nice being back in my regular meeting, even with AM there. our front desk person still remembers me and my silly tees. she was telling me about one of her gift purchases, a yoga shirt that has inhale and exhale written on the cuffs. so fun :) the meeting was ok. there were only four of us total who stayed after weighing in. assumption was that lots of people were home prepping for today :p of the eight people who weighed in, we lost a combined 10.4 pounds. very exciting

i am at a loss for words on this loss. it was another week in which i expected to gain. i drank too much at hooters and made not so good food choices the rest of the weekend. somehow it all worked out... although, i'm not convinced that it won't hit me at some point. i can't keep consuming tons, not working out very much and expecting to still lose. i'm working on it though. i went a little crazy last night so i'm going to try to take it easy today :)

yesterday started ok. breakfast and "lunch" were cheerios with skim milk (4 points), 90 calorie granola bar (2 points), sugar free jello (0 points) and an ice breakers mint (1 point). [the mint wasn't supposed to be lunch. i just ended up not making anything while i was home] i got home from the office around 215 and sat around all afternoon. took an impromptu nap sitting up (my neck still hurts) and putzed til about 630. headed to the meeting, headed to LH's and off to baltimore. we got to the abbey where you can make your own burger and get tater tots as your side. if there are tots, i am eating them :D their burger checklist is online so i built my burger much earlier in the afternoon. local bison, american cheese, ketchup, mustard, tomato and pickles with no bun. yum yum yum. i estimated 20 tots as the side, and i was only off by two. altogether, that was 20 points of delicious in my belly. i also had a couple magners ciders and a bud light (6 points total). we ended up being out until 1am, but it was a super fun night. one of these days, we're going dancing. i needs to shake my booty (and it's a great workout ;))

today, i am going to remember not to go overboard. the menu for tonight: turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, mashed yams, cranberry sauce, "green stuff", rolls, kale, roasted fennel and carrots, apple and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. it just occurred to me, as i read the menu again, that there will be no macaroni and cheese. while i'll miss it, that is really good. i LOVE mac n cheese a little too much lol. i wish i could explain what green stuff is, but i can't. it's a family thing that sounds weird but tastes delicious. i think i know what i'll be loading up on (not turkey or gravy), but i'm not adding anything until after it's eaten. knowing myself, i'll "forget" to pay attention to portions. but at least i'll have a few hours of black friday shopping to work it off ;)

i hope you all have wonderful thanksgivings. enjoy the food, the parades, the football, the traditions and the company. if you're traveling, stay safe and try to be nice to your TSA agent. these hard working men and women are ensuring the safety of millions of people so cut them some slack. they're still human and have feelings/opinions of their own about what's going down. trust me, the do not get their kicks from feeling up your granny on thanksgiving morning. they're probably wishing they could hug their own grannies before she started working her kitchen magic. so be nice
