Challenges

One of my favorite things about living close to family is being able to celebrate with loved ones - One of the biggest challenges for dieting is celebrating with loved ones....

This weekend we had a birthday party for Mike's mom - the menu - pizza, bread sticks, 3 types of gourmet cakes and 2 kinds of ice cream.

Well, I didn't want to be rude and not eat at all - but I did ask my sister-in-laws if they would pick up a bag of salad when they went to get drinks and ice cream... We ordered one of the pizza's thin crust and I'm sure it was still 6 points a slice - but it was so good - I had to have two. And I only tried one of the cakes, and only had one piece, and no ice cream... So - all in all, I'm sure I used some flex points - but I didn't do too bad....

Sunday we went up to my mom's and I asked her to be nice to me.... She made baked potato's, chicken, green salad and my sister brought sugar free jello - It was so good! You really can eat good meals with low points, it just takes effort...

Well all in all, I'm down a few ounces from the weekend, which is way better than being up! Hopefully the next few days are easier and Thursday's weigh in will be great!
