Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

Sorry that I have been MIA again. This bug that has hit the Cook household has really been rough. Megan has been sick since Saturday. She has been running a fever which Sydney & I didn’t have. So she has taken every minute of my time. Last night was the first night she has slept through the night. 

My weigh-in on Saturday was ok. No change. I know that I should be happy with it because it was the TOM for me. Blek! It feels like these last few pounds are taking forever. I have really been working hard this week. I have even been to the Y and put in a hard three miles on the elliptical machine. I hope to go today sometime if I get a chance. If not then I hope to get some time in on the treadmill. I am going to make it a point to go to my Mom’s tomorrow to get time in on her elliptical in the morning. (the Y is closed because of Thanksgiving).

I have been trying to think out our Thanksgiving dinner in my head. How I will handle it. What I am going to eat. How much. Just so I go in to it not willy-nilly. I am trying to have a plan. I find that what I eat on Thursday plays the biggest role in my weigh-in on Saturdays, I hope that will also be a strong motivator for me.

I made a great new recipe on Sunday night. I will try to post the recipe. It is a time intensive but so worth it. You even get a casserole to put in the freezer.

I hope that you each have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for all of my friends, family, & our church. I am thankful that my health is better than it was a year ago and we know what we are dealing with. And finally I am so thankful that I was led to WW. I don’t know where I would be today if it wasn’t for WW. To think that I am so close to go, is almost too much for me to comprehend.

Stay on program! I know that I will be working hard to think about every bite that goes in to my mouth.
