Week 37 11/22/2007
Turkey and Macaroons
Before I get to Thanksgiving, I want to congratulate my son on a fantastic show in his hometown of Los Angeles! All of his friends were in the front row cheering him on. It was SO nice for him to see familiar faces. And after show we took the tour bus to Scottsdale where we had Thanksgiving.
Can I just say I did SO great??? Until those darned macaroons. I must have had three or four. Nothing low-fat about those! Of course, my contribution to the meal was Jenny’s Gingerbread cookies. So why didn’t I just eat those?
But we hiked Pinnacle Peak that morning as well as the day after. I could definitely feel the macaroons on that second hike. But I had a great time so I’m not beating myself up over it. It turns out it cost me four ounces (up .4 lbs this week*), but it was worth it.
So I have about a pound and a half to go. Wait, did I just say that? That’s nothing! Come on, Valerie – NO PROBLEM. I stocked up on Jenny’s “free soups” (Tomato and Rosemary Chicken) last week, so you know what I’ll be snacking on this week.
Guys, what if this is my last week??? What if next week I am officially in maintenance??? What if…oh my gosh, I can’t even think about it.
Just focus on today, Valerie. And tomorrow will come.
xoxo
