Definitely Maybe

My weight has been trending down this week and I've been doing well on my points. (I've been drinking too much wine, but have stayed completely away from dessert, which is an accomplishment and a half, believe me.) This morning I stepped on the scale and it was 238! Maybe it is a one-day dip, but it was very exciting, because my "official" weight would be at least a pound less than that. Which means I've lost ten pounds, or almost ten pounds, or something resembling ten pounds.

Also, last night my friends informed me that my jeans were "too big" and "kind of falling off" and they could see my underwear as a result. Doesn't that sound sexy and stylish? I know, totally. Fortunately I have these exact pants a size smaller, so I will try those on tonight in anticipation of wearing them to my conference this weekend.

Yes, although clearly I need to go to Weight Watchers to find out if I've lost ten pounds, I am going out of town yet again this weekend. This is for work, though, and the trip will probably not involve that much eating. I think I managed to find a hotel with a fitness center, and even have ambitious plans to work out while I am gone! But for now I am riding high on my theoretical ten pound loss. I'll let you know when I make it official.

Bravo, Mo!

What is your reward for reaching this goal?? Because you totally deserve a reward, yanno!

Well, I don't know for sure if I hit one yet, but that's a good point! A reward! Hmm. I will think of something good.

Woo hoo!

I wish my jeans would do that. I bought them thinking that they were just possibly slightly too tight, but that this wouldn't be a problem for long. Then I got too busy to do anything but maintain (I don't seem to lose unless I exercise a lot) so they still are.

However! You rule. Theoretical congratulations.

Every five pound (and some week ANY) loss deserves a reward!

Positive reinforcement works.

Good for you! Whatever you lost...I think I gained. Darn it all anyway.

Sounds like you had a most excellent time, Mo Pie! We grew up with beignets in our family, except we called them "binga johns" - probably a corruption of "pain d'indian", aka "fry bread". You can take the family off the Res but not the Res out of the family.
