dinner and a confession
Stuffed Cabbage Casserole is baking in the oven right now and I am STARVING and my house smells so good! I got the recipe from my coworker.. she says it's awesome and even better the next day!
Last week I weighed in at WW and I lost 4.2 pounds! I was so excited.. my 3 week total is 6.6 - not bad! Yesterday was awful though. We had an open house where I work (dispatch for a local PD). A nearby business brought 4 dozen donuts and a dozen bagels with cream cheese to thank us for all we've done (so obviously they are in dispatch and stay there for the day). A little while later, one of the sergeants shows up and he has a dozen donuts ("for my favorite dispatchers"). Next thing we know someone else showed up with 3 dozen more. So by the end of my 8 hour shift there were 8 DOZEN donuts. I had 3ish and blew my whole day and ended up having pizza for dinner last night.
Of course I went to work this morning and there were still 28 (I don't know why I had to count) donuts left and I did not touch a single one! Then one of the cops shows up with 6 cupcakes that his wife made for a birthday party yesterday. His wife made our wedding cake.. I CANNOT turn down her chocolate cake!! So I brought home one and made hubby eat half. I will have the other half after dinner.
Today I am back on track and hope that the weekends events don't show up on the scale on Friday! And sorry this was so long!!
Re: dinner and a confession
Congrats on the weight loss! I've been having a hard time staying on track too. I used up all of my extra (35) points last week, and I'm trying avoid using them this week (I did for a few drinks this weekend). This coming weekend I'm going to visit my brother and SIL for my brother's B-Day. I think it's going to be a difficult couple of days.
totally agree! you have to allow yourself a treat every now and then. Congrats on the weight loss so far!
Everything is fine in moderation- as long as you don't eat 3 donuts everyday, it's ok!!
Amen! Don't beat yourself up any more about it. What's done is done and I bet you still have a good weigh-in this week. Congrats on your successes so far!!
