Weighing In
Friday, November 30, 2007
We have an unholy love for cranberry sauce around here. I made 2 big bowls of it for Thanksgiving. Since those are long gone, it was time to make some more. The one on the left is my blind attempt at orange cranberry sauce. I didn't even bother to look up a recipe. I just figured adding oranges to the ingredients of original cranberry sauce would be sufficient. We'll see.
We have a bunch of peanut oil leftover from our fry-fest on Thanksgiving, so we are getting together with some friends tomorrow and having fry-fest, the sequel. We bought some frozen chicken pot pies and sweet potato cakes to fry. Not sure what else DH will find to emerse in the oil, but surely there will be more.
Other than a little bit of cranberry sauce, I will not be partaking, as I am back on the Weight Watchers wagon after falling off on Thanksgiving Day. At last night's weigh-in, I had gained 0.8 lbs. Shoot. But the woman that weighed me said that was actually very good for a post-holiday weigh-in. The way everyone was talking at the meeting, I don't think many people actually lost weight. The leader said that a good goal to have for this time of year is to just maintain your current weight and not worry about losing. I am going to be REALLY good these next few weeks between now and Christmas because I know that my visit with my family the week of Christmas will not be very Weight Watchers friendly.
Oh, by the way, I started out at 238.6 lbs when I started Weight Watchers 6 weeks ago and am at 226.2 as of yesterday.

CONGRATS!!!!! That truly rocks!!!
Way to go on your loss. I was up a little this week too, since Thanksgiving :( But overall perspective, you have lost a lot already, and that rocks!
I must also join in a "Good job!" post. You are off to an awesome start and the WORST possible time in the year! I hope that the holidays aren't too stressful and you keep it up!
