My modem went down and I had to wait for the new one to arrive.  I missed all of you and couldn’t wait for a few quiet hours to catch up! 

 I weighed in on Wednesday.  I was UP 1 pound.  But I did not let that deter me.   I will make up for it at this week’s weigh in.  I didn’t eat badly, I just didn’t pay as close attention to my points.  I like to log things on the computer and not having it was a bummer.  So far, this week has gone well and I am looking forward to my weigh in.  I think I may hit my 20 pound mark.  If not 20 pounds, pretty darn close.

 I have a friend who is on WW and can’t seem to lose weight.  I went out after work with her last night and saw why.  Or at least in my opinion why.  She drank 3 beers and had no food.  I drank diet soda and had soup.  I didn’t eat the noodles in the soup so when I was finished all that was left was shell pasta in the bottom of the bowl.   I am student teaching in her room and it helps that we are both doing WW as we eat lunch together.  But she gets frustrated that I eat soup almost everyday.  But the fact of the matter is this - I LOVE soup when it is cold and rainy outside.  It is a major source of comfort for me and thank goodness I love the broth based kind.  I can eat Campbells Vegetable Beef soup everyday.   This has been my favorite since I was a little girl.  I can’t help it, I am a cheap date!  I am trying to mix my lunches up a little bit for her  benefit - isn’t that funny?  Yesterday I took a Lean Cuisine.  Those work for me too.  

I am glad to be back and happy to see that my friends are here and doing well.  Have a glorious weekend!
