WW Day 3

I'm on day 3 of Weight Watchers!! DAY THREE! Go ahead and laugh but this is a major accomplishment, sister. I really cannot wait to weigh in on Friday, and if I haven't lost at least 2 pounds I will be one unhappy camper. Last time I did WW I lost 7 pounds the first week. I would be shocked to have that sort of loss this time since I get an extra 10 points a day for nursing. I will have to see how it goes - if I'm not losing like I want to (2 lbs a week) then I'll have to cut out the extra nursing-mom points. Graham's birthday party was a challenge. We served chips, soda, cake, ice cream, cookies and candy. Yeah babuy. I had some of the candy and a piece of cake, which cost me a total of 15 points. Not that bad for a special occasion.

Speaking of Graham's Birthday party, here's the main man himself!




He had a nice little party! I wrote up a shhhedule a couple years ago that gives each child a big party and a little party on alternating years. With four kids, one starts to feel a little guilty inviting all the friends and family over every couple months for a party. I thought it would be good to change it up a bit so there are usually only 2 big parties a year. So this was his little party, and it was just lovely. He collects nutcrackers, so he chose a nutcracker theme. Sure made my decorating job SUPER easy!!

And to top it off, he seriously received all the gifts he'd asked for. He's wanted a lizard for years, so we got him a setup and he got a couple pet store gift cards. Alif & the big boys are out now procuring the creature. I'm sooo excited. :-X He got not one but two cool watches, not one but two awesome nutcrackers, a guitar, a book that looks right up his alley, fabric to sew with, money for a camera - he is really a happy little guy today. And nine - I'm still in disbelief.

  4. Yay, Emily! You are so brave to do this right BEFORE Christmas. (Brave, or crazy. Oops, did I type that out loud?) Woohoo! You go, girl!

    And I'm sorry we didn't get to celebrate at park day with Graham! I'm glad he had a nice birthday -- I love his Nutcracker theme! That is so cute!

    Emily, I agree, so brave to begin this right before the holidays, but then again, by the time that new years comes along, you will be ready for the clean slate. I wish you all the best and will think of ways that I can support you. I can really say now that I have been on South Beach since March that I have kicked my sugar (and therefore food) addiction- and it is the best feeling ever! You can do it- every day is a new day and if you just keep plugging away at it, you really really can do it!
