Weighting for good news?

I lost 3.6 pounds this past week, after more or less being stuck at the same weight for all of November. But does Weight Watchers share my excitement? No. They caution against losing weight too rapidly.


I'm not even following the plan all that strictly any more. Yes, I've been working out, but I eat more when I do that. Maybe so much weight came off this week as an effect of finally blasting through the plateau I was on.

At any rate, this brings my total weight loss to 14 pounds. Four more to my goal.


In other news, Christmas cards are signed and sealed. Later this week, they'll be delivered, too.


I think the reason the holidays make me feel so stressed is that all the associated activities are not in my normal pie plate. So some other pie pieces have to get smaller to make room. I'm going to spend some time this week thinking about where else I can simplify, and what I can let go, in order to keep the pie from bubbling over in the oven of a busy December.

Wow, Julie! Good for you! You are really grooving along.....

I just re-read your original pie piece (pun?!) and I must say, even your baseline pie is pretty amazing. You're smart to look for ways to lighten your burdens at least for the moment.
