Your daughter is very talented. That is a great drawing - very good. I had to smile when I read about the molasses cookies. I have recipes from my grandmother / aunt which has ingredients like that. I love looking at them as they call for things like lard, sour milk, etc. PA Dutch... good eats! Have a good week. Report Inappropriate Comment |

After 19 days on the road I tentatively stepped onto the scale this morning. Well, let me tell you that I stepped on it again and again, just not believing what I was seeing! It was a long trip with eating out about 75% of the time. I never felt "deprived" and enjoyed many small bits of special treats along the way (including my son's fantastic raspberry chocolate ganache cheesecake!) and only counted calories on paper about half of the time. It seems to be easier knowing what to avoid or how to just have a "taste" of something special.
Truth be told, I was not going to be at all surprised to see a weight gain of 4 to 5 pounds! It just seems to be the way it is.
Granted, I did do some walking on the trip, but I didn't feel that it was much at all, so I have to put the credit to the caloric intake or lack thereof. At any rate, this puts me on good footing to continue forward on this venture.
As of this morning I was down and additional 1 1/2 pounds! That's 11 1/2 total!
YEAH!!!!!!!! I credit Spark People and the wonderful support for helping me with this.
Well, I have to go the the grocery store and stock up on more of the good fruits and veggies!

I am so happy for you and I love the picture. 19 days is a loooong time to be out of your routine. You are an inspiration to me. I am leaving today for a 5 day trip. I hope to lose a pound or two while I am gone. Thank you for your post. You show me it can be done.

What a great weekend this was. The weather was perfect and my daughter was home from College to participate in the Streetpainting Festival here in Raleigh (the fourth time she has done this). She and her friend chalked their square with this adorable picture of a little boy who was caught chalking on the board. It was a hit with the spectators. 
I also was very bad this weekend as I made my Grandmother's molasses cookie recipe since we had collected up the necessary one cup of bacon grease (told you it was bad...but oh so good!!!). I hadn't made these in years. Yes, I didn enjoy some this weekend. But the good news is that my weight is holding fine with just one pound to go before my goal of 14 lost is met! Now that it is Monday I will settle back to the fish, chicken and veggies routine.
