Well, I have FINALLY updated the Success Rate charts at the bottom of the blog page tonight - something I hadn't done in over a month, I'm afraid to say. But now it's up in all its glory, along with the updated chart on the right of the blog page, so everyone can see how successful we've been so far. And we really have been very, very successful: Mom is under 200lbs for the first time in almost as long as she can remember; I have just bought my first pair of (American) size 16 years in at least 15 years, if not longer - and am close to hitting my 200lb-by-Christmas goal - and Eileen is looking GREAT with her 16.5lb weight loss. I am so proud of all of us!
Having said that, this week was Thanksgiving - yesterday, to be exact - which is a time to reflect on all that we are grateful for, which we did - and to eat to excess, which we also did, with gusto! What a wonderful meal we had (even if it was mostly bought at the supermarket!): moist, succulent turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, wild rice, green salad (made, for once, with MELON jello instead of LIME jello - Mom said she wondered why it wasn't as green as normal when she was making it!!), bread rolls, pumpkin bread (home made - thanks, Kathy!), cranberry apple casserole, stuffing, crudites... followed by apple & pumpkin pies with whipped cream... Truly a scrumptious - calorie laden! - meal to be very, very grateful for. My waistline, however, not so much!
Which explains exactly why our goal for this two-week period - as indeed it will also be for the Christmas period - is to simply MAINTAIN our current weights rather than to actually lose anything. If I can succeed in that goal, I will be a very happy camper indeed!
