Below Average
Last night was Moment of Truth Night. Yup. Back to Weight Watchers after two festive weeks. One person had lost a half pound, another a quarter. We gave them our heartiest congratulations, the rest of us, those on the other side of the continuum.
Today I did some research on the internet, downloaded some appealing Points Plus recipes, and went to the store to buy ingredients for this delectable dish (which is in the oven and making the house smell good even as I type). I printed out nearly a dozen additional new recipes.
I was bemoaning my gain to a colleague who pointed out that the average American gains seven pounds during the last two weeks of each year, and I hadn't gained that much. In fact, she pointed out, I was below average!
Imagine that.
If you don't hear from me for a while, know it is because I've moved to Lake Woebegon, where I imagine the internet service to be less than stellar.
Evening Update: The spinach lasagna rolls were excellent. Dirtied multiple pots, bowls, etc. But excellent.

Never again..
I too gained but have tried to get back on the wagon this week. I'm an on-line member and I cheated and didn't record my weight this Monday. I couldn't face the cheery little message, "You've gained this week." I've been haunting the two blogs you have in your sidebar for recipes as well and applaud you for trying the new ones. You can do this. I have 100 lbs to lose and I've even convinced I can do it.
As always, thanks for your blog

I found a great cod fish recipe in the Washington Post yesterday. My husband liked it so much he ate the leftovers for lunch today.
I know there are a few more pounds I don’t need. I still struggle to lose the 25 I put on after my younger sister died at 49 two and a half years ago. I ate grief ice cream every night until I couldn’t wear any of my pants. Thoughts of naming my gut “Teri Tummy” cross my mind occasionally. I have stopped buying ice cream. I still cry every day about her.
Good luck to you!
