C3D15-16 Over another hump

     I hopped on the scale this morning and was ecstatic to see that I made it over another hump in my weight loss.  I am well into the new lower decade and also 1.5 pounds less than the lightest I have been in the past 2 1/2 years (nearly 28 pounds down).  I noticed when we were away the walking bothered me less, my feet hurt less and my knees (knock on wood) haven't bothered me in the past several weeks.  I am pretty excited that this week I hope to hit my a big goal at weight watchers.  So many amazing health benefits occur after losing just 10%.  And I have a ways to go for sure, but this is certainly another step in the right direction.  I am so happy.  Someone recently said to me they were so happy I was still on this.  That comment stuck with me because this is not a diet, it's truly a lifestyle change.  I notice my body is happier and healthier this way and I just plain feel better. So of course I am still on it.  I hope to be on this plan in one way or another for the rest of my life.  

     So weigh in is tomorrow and I am not nervous.  I am excited to see my clan/support group.  It's nice that everyone there shares a common goal and even though I am not counting points per se and following their plan, I take tips away every week and most importantly have support and accountability, 2 of the most important things in weight loss or any big goal one might hope to achieve.  So another day on C3 and then back to C2.  I have some social events coming this weekend and one in particular will prove tricky to stay on track.  I am part of a gourmet group and each couple is responsible for making a different course of a Bobby Flay meal.  I am in charge of dessert.  I am making Blackberry White-Chocolate Fool with Toasted Hazelnuts.  No flour in this dish but lots of sugar.  And I plan to enjoy some of it.  Not sure what the rest of the meal will bring food wise but it's usually a pretty amazing meal, so I plan to eat amazing all day Saturday, exercise and then enjoy a great meal many people have worked hard to cook from scratch.  I think the main course is surf and turf so the only other problematic portions are apps and sides.  I just need to remain accountable even though I plan to be off for this meal, I will never get out of control.  So I plug on the lightest I have been in a long while one meal and one day at a time.
