NYNY Update - Joyce

Well, it was the holiday season, Joyce, but it's now over (till the next one) and hopefully, you
will have a better week this week. Wish you luck. Elaine K

Looks like this week I'm alot happier with the weight averaging method, worked in my favor for a
change with having to officially weigh in the day immediately following Thanksgiving. All week I
was peeking at *lower than last week* numbers ... until Friday - which I totally deserved
considering what I ate (and I enjoyed). I'm officially taking 130 as my NYNY challenge weight, up
half a pound from last week - although Friday's scale results showed me up dang near 5 pounds from
last week (2.5 of which have disappeared by this morning).

I had great intentions for Thanksgiving, started the day out with a bang by hitting the treadmill
bright and early. A light lunch got me through until dinner ... then I felt like I totally fell
apart. I think I logged the entire day somewhere between 40 and 45 points, which I am thinking may
be a teeny bit high (I'd rather error on the side of caution).

What is it with my other family members, have they no idea at all what a vegetable is or how to
cook without loading everything up with salt? I brought the stuffing, stuck to last years
lightened recipe which everyone loved, same with the glazed sweet potatoes. The turkey was safe
... but the only options for veggies were ... green bean casserole (which isn't even made good -
just canned mushroom soup dumped over canned green beans, then loaded with french fried onions on
top) and scalloped corn (loads of butter, crackers and salt). And I take the blame for the
desserts, which were fantastic by the way. <G> Had me a piece of the french silk pie AND a small
piece of the chocolate bundt cake - enjoyed both immensely.

I am still in a good place in my mind, am right back doing what I know best, hanging tough and
moving forward. Unfortunately, I did end up bringing some leftovers home (I have a family who
insists on the leftovers) but left the icky veggies behind. <G> A few pieces of cake are sitting
on my counter, will more than likely go into the freezer tomorrow if sonny boy doesn't kill it
off. Pie is already in the freezer. Niether one are calling out my name, but the clementines and
pineapple that hubby bought yesterday are - I see that as a step in the right direction.

Sorry for rambling, had to get it all out of my system and keep myself honest. Here's hoping that
next weeks results will get me back to where I want/need to be.

Hm - if it were me, I'd ignore this week, wait for next week, and then be down - it always amazes me
how much we fluctuate from day to day! *grin* Stilll - after that holiday, 1/2 lb aint' bad, and
will be gone now that your relatives and their salt have gone too!

1/2 lb up on the morning after is pretty darn WONDERFUL!! Your Thanksgiving sounds a bit like
mine... made the best of the situation, stayed conscious about what you ate but didn't obsess,
enjoyed dessert and the good company, and now you're back to reality. When it's the pineapple and
clementines that call you and not the pie in the freezer, you know you're doing it right. Besides,
even with everything, you're STILL 10 lbs less than 140ish. How fabulous is that?

That's what I thought. I did not see them until after I had taken a spoonful. I ate the beans but
