Well tonight was funny. Why you may ask??? Well after last week's dismal weigh-in due to illness I am now down 5.6 for this week. That horrible cold last week turned into a serious sinus infection and now I'm on antibiotics and can only seemingly eat soup. That works for weight loss : ) Hopefully I won't gain a bunch back this coming week. I was 8 points down yesterday and 12 today. I now that is not a good idea but I just couldn't help it!
Funny story ready??? Well Saturday night before the big ear blow-out I organized a birthday party for one of the girls on Claire's softball team. My 21 day challenge is not to eat past 8:00PM which I've been successful. Well..... By the time the game ended we were at the restaurant at 9:30 and I hadn't eaten dinner. Hmmm I have a couple of grace days so I knew I would be fine. The problem? It was a WINGS and RIBS joint. Did I say I love a good hot wing??? WHY DID I PICK THIS PLACE????? So I'm sitting there trying to convince myself that I no longer like hot wings and I settled for a chicken noodle soup and hot tea AT A WINGS AND RIBS place. It was awesome. One of the dad's sat next to me with a 16 pc. order of wings. I asked him if he could tell me how good they were and maybe afterwards I could just smell his breath. Ha I really said that! He laughed and I'm sure wondered if I was serious. We finished and we plowed back to the hotel room and I decided to look up the ol'chicken wing on WW site. 16 pc. wings 48 points!!!!!! I'm so glad I didn't even have one. Whew It felt good to make the right choice.
I'm down a total of 13.8 pounds since I began this journey 5 weeks ago. That's over 2.7 lb average per week. That is great and I'm satisfied. My leader last week kept emphasizing to me that I'm to look at it as a four week cycle. She's right because I could have been discouraged without that viewpoint. When oh When will I be out of these size 18's? I'm ready.
I'm still not touching those 35 bonus points and I have an inside fear that I would gain if I did. Your thoughts?

I'm soooo proud of you Dawna. Not sure if I could have stayed away from those wings like you did. Way to go!!! Aren't you so glad that you have kept on doing the right things even when it didn't look like it was working? We are well on the road to LMMM titles. (Lean Mean Mother Machines!)
