How is it that a birthday can turn into a week long celebration? Its so difficult to see everyone on the same night anymore. I ended up going out to eat 4 times in one week for my birthday celebration(s) and gained a pound or two from it. Oops!

Oh well. I started this week off a little shakey on the calorie control. While I had a good mental idea of what I ate yesterday, I didn't really keep track.

The scale said 175 this morning. At least thats a pound down from what it was after my week of celebration. I'm trying to be good but honestly I'm not trying hard enough. I need motivation or a swift kick in the butt. Not sure which will work best.

And here comes Thanksgiving....
I won't be making the family's secret recipe of candied yams. Instead, I'll be making plain baked yams and green beans to go with some turkey. I'll take it easy on the stuffing and maybe have just a little mashed potatoes.

I'm just rambling now. I need to go make dinner.

(I'm praying to see 173 by Sunday. I just have to be good!)

Hey Sunny, glad you're back! Pound will go down, no worries Good choice on the yams!

Yeah that pound will go away soon. I'm on a cruise for my birthday so I'll be thrilled if I get away with only a pound.
