Monday Weigh-In

Last week's weight — 135 pounds
This week's weight — 132 pounds

...Wow! I hope that's right and my scale isn't malfunctioning or something because losing 3 more pounds would be awesome. ESPECIALLY since last weekend was the never-ending Christmas Party Buffet. You might notice that there are no food logs for Friday - Sunday. That's because I gave up. I did stick to my plan for dinner on Friday evening, but then promptly ate a piece of cherry cheesecake. And there was another party immediately following that party wherein I shared half a bottle of cheap champagne with a friend. So whatever points I hadn't blown on the cheesecake I downed with the bubbly.

I think I did manage to stay on points the rest of the weekend — barely — but I didn't eat very healthily at all. For instance, on Saturday I had a small piece of pizza for lunch (it was free at the local Fred Meyers) and for dinner I had 1/2 a large bag of unbuttered popcorn (we were at the movies). That was pretty much it. All day.

Oh, and on the subject of clothes, I did go ahead and pick up some more shirts. I needed them anyway and am happy to note that I'm back into a size small. I still need pants, but I think I'll wait just a little bit longer to pick those up. I saw a pair of khaki Dockers with a cut that I really liked, but when I showed them to my husband he shook his head.

"You can't get those," he said.

"Why not," I asked. "They're very cute."

"Because those are 'slimming' pants," he said. He pointed to the tag that did, indeed, say they were of a cut meant to slim bigger stomaches and hips. He then explained to me that I didn't need the pants because I was already slim.

Awwww.
