Weight Watchers Week #7

   Wow!  Week 7 already!  That means next week will be two whole months I have been at this!  I have to admit, I have gotten slow in my food tracking and I need to do better.  I am still doing it everyday, but sometimes not till the end of the day, and my memory isn't so sharp anymore!!
     So my loss for this week amounted to an even 1 pound.  Twice as much as last week!  This wasn't a great food week to be honest.  We had travel and pizza party and potluck and for the first time I had 2 Starbuck's in one week.  (Granted one was a non-fat, but that isn't even worth drinking!)  I also had some Costco muffins around which are yummy, but way too many points.  The GREAT thing about WW is that I can eat my good food and have my cake(and Starbucks) too and still lose 1 pound!  This is what makes it livable!  It would have been nice to lose even more, but this week should be more conducive to that since I will be home over the weekend.
     My goal is 10 more pounds by Christmas, so I am 1 pound down and 9 to go!  I truly believe I can do this.  It is not typical to lose 15.2 pounds in only 7 weeks, so I am doing great.  I have not GAINED weight since being on the program and my poor friend Cindi regained 6 of her 9 lost pounds early on in her journey.  She is now past 40 pounds and cheering me on!  She and I are both committed to losing 10 more pounds by Christmas, as well as my friend Kristen in Venice, so I have encouragement on both coasts!  However, I must request that Kristen not make any more chocolate mint cookies when I come in 10 days . . . it isn't helping either of us :-)
