Saturday we celebrated my son's High schood graduation. I made 5 briskets and my son wanted cheesecake, cream puffs and mini eclairs instead of cake or cupcakes. We sent out about 125 invites and because of it being Fathers Day weekend we didn't have as many people show up as would have if we had done it another weekend. This ended up being a good thing. Not sure how many people did come but I was scared I would run out of food. We didn't, we had just enough and a few left overs.
I ate way - way too many cream puffs, eclairs and cheesecake bites! The brisket was good also but I didn't OD on it like I did the other. So, today, I have been trying to get back on track. I have done pretty good so far. I had Green Chili Stew instead of a Hamburger and fries... at the Casino (Mmmm Green Chili Stew is so good, if you've never had New Mexico Green Chili you don't know what you're missing). I really wanted that hamburger but decided I would save it for another time when I didn't have such an elaborate weekend.
Went to WW weigh in on Saturday -- before all the cream puffs.. I had lost .4 (hubby lost 1.2)
which I was very excited to lose! I am at 6 weeks with no gains!! I'm a little nervous about the next weigh in - just because of all weekend eating.
After the Grad party on Saturday - my brother and his wife invited us over for BBQ Ribs on Sunday. OMG, they were so good. I didn't go crazy but I had too much.
I was thinking though.... in the past I would have eaten more and would then beat myself up over it. This time, I did eat too much but I didn't beat myself up and I think because I didn't - I haven't felt so down about it and I have been able to HIT my reset button and move on. That is progress and I am excited about that. My mind set is changing!!
I finally set a goal for myself. I didn't realize you got a little charm for you key ring at 25lbs. I love those little incentives! I had told my husband that when I reached that I'd like a pedicure, but I am not too sure that a pedicure is a big enough incentive. I mean ... it's a pedicure... I don't know .... what do you think?
