Week 2

One week down, week two is beginning.  I'm pleased to report an official loss of 3.6 pounds.  I'm really happy with that.  My normal weight loss, during the first week of Weight Watchers, was 3-4 pounds.  So, yes, I'm very pleased.

I went through Labor Day and didn't track a thing.  I was at my sisters house for the weekend and we pretty much ate what we wanted.  She made these awesome, healthy, muffins that were just great.  Sweet enough to satisfy that need for something sweet, yet healthy enough they weren't just empty calories.  Loved 'em.  I'll have to get her to send me the link to the recipe (again!).

I met with an old friend yesterday for lunch.  We chose Chick-Fil-A because they have an indoor play place for our four kids to play in.  CFA has an amazing salad: The Asian Salad! With all toppings, it's a whopping 500 calories, but it really is delicious.  I splurged because I'd (unintentionally) skipped breakfast and had the extra calories to spare.  The salad is made with romaine lettuce, shredded red cabbage, mandarin oranges, and crispy chicken.  Optional toppings are wantons and roasted almonds; I chose the recommended Honey Sesame dressing.  Delicious!  Even my 14 month old son loved the flavor.  Definitely something I'd eat again!

Tomorrow is my husband and I's 15th wedding anniversary.  I'm grateful God gave me such a great guy - my best friend, my confidant, my shoulder to lean on in the tough times.  I still can't believe it's been 15 years though.  I know to the general American population, that number is staggering.  But in reality, our lives together have barely begun.  I love you, Dear! (More about him tomorrow!)
