Today was weigh-in day, and I lost another two pounds! Yay! 
Down
now 42.5 pounds. I know I am getting redundant, but NS
rocks! I was happy with
the one-half pound losses, but this is super!
Once I got off my plateau, things
started moving again, and faster!
All of you newbies, pay attention: NS WORKS!
Portion control is
the key. You know exactly what you can eat and it is,
thankfully,
prepared for you. I used to cook a lot since I had children to
feed,
but never really liked doing it, so NS food is a blessing. All I have to
do is buy fruit, vegetables, cheese sticks and milk and I’m set to go!
Can’t
be beat!
My 17-year-old granddaughter keeps in touch with me by
texting.
(Keep that in mind if you have a teenaged child or grandchild. Much
better than the computer or the telephone.) Anyway, she texted me
Saturday
evening to tell me her boyfriend was playing the piano for her.
I bought her a
NICE keyboard when she was eight or nine, and she took
keyboarding lessons for a
couple of years. She hated practicing as many
kids do, and eventually gave it
back to me. I have kept it in safekeeping
for her hoping someday she’d come
back to it. Well, thanks to boyfriend’s
influence, she wants to play again.
That means a trip to North Carolina from
South Carolina to get it
back to her unless her mother will meet me halfway.
It is almost three hours away,
so I’m hoping for the halfway meeting. However,
since my granddaughter has me
wrapped around her little finger and knows it,
I will probably end up making
the whole drive if my daughter can’t meet me
soon enough to satisfy the little
chickadee. (I would never have been so lenient
with my daughter, which peeves her
to no end.)
We meet and eat at Cracker Barrel when we do the halfway
thing, so my
willpower will be tested once again. I ALWAYS eat
not-good-for-me-but-
good-tasting food there. To meet this challenge, I should
go to their Web site
to see if they have their menus posted so I can pick out
something ahead of
time and stay away from the pancakes. Yep, that’s what I’ll
do and see if it helps.
I hope you are successful in all you endeavor to do this
week, especially in
your weight-loss program. Take care. ~~~Joan
