Yesterday we had to run an order to the post office to get it mailed quickly. So we took a quick trip to our local Walmart to pick up a few things. One of our favorite flavors of ice cream is Moose Tracks made by Hershey's. Hubby wanted to buy a treat and that's what he chose but not Hershey's, they had Turkey Hill's. He asked if it would bother me if he got it as he knows how much I loved it. I told him no it wouldn't. But when we got home and him and my son took it out and started eating it BEFORE...

My how time flies....I haven't posted since the 5th but have been slowly losing. Currently down a total of 8 pounds.

Next week is Thanksgiving. I have that meal down to a science. Much prep before hand makes for a more relaxing day for me!

I sing going down the halls in school (and get shushed sometimes, lol); I smile, I laugh a lot and act silly, I am usually cheerful and I hope, encouraging to others. It takes a lot to make me mad-- I am willing to compromise, bend with the wind, work with others on their non-negotiables...Practically the "jolly fat girl" without...

Well I am hanging in for the long haul and have dropped 4 pounds.

I have pinpointed the 'witching hour' where I've noticed I tend to want to eat when I am not hungry(between 4 and 6 pm) and have switched to drinking a cup of tea instead.
