Soon To Be Skinny Sooner

…I’ve been dealing with a flu bug all week, so sorry about the lack of updates/posts. I’ll be back next week, GLW.

Unreal. My biggest loss in a month comes a week after Thanksgiving. I must have done something right. Hopefully, my good, clean living will translate into an OU victory Saturday.

The trick wasn’t so much making it through the day. I’d already decided that I wasn’t going to make myself miserable by forgoing so many of the once-a-year treats Turkey Day offers, so I enjoyed and even indulged some. I did use some of the techniques I’ve learned on the journey, such as waiting 20 minutes before going back for seconds and taking plentiful portions of veggie and salad. Mrs. s2bs also made almost all of the dishes, and found recipes on Weight Watchers that made the sweet potato souffle, the turkey and the stuffing not overly-ridiculous, calorie-wise.

The bigger issue proved to be getting back on the road. I did take in a dinner and a next-day lunch of leftovers, which wasn’t what I was hoping to do. However, we did make one big decision that I think will pay off in the long run. We didn’t take any leftovers home. The banana pudding, pecan pie and pounds of turkey stayed with my mother-in-law, and we came back to a fridge full of the stuff we know we can eat and manage. That, I think, will help keep my day or two of decadence from becoming a surrender of some of the gains I’ve made. I’m hoping to break even at weigh-in this week, and move down the road from there.
