You have stumbled into Mary's Lounge!
Welcome and thanks for stopping by!
This site is a chronicle of my weight loss, with wanderings
into the realm of Karaoke, Chihuahua Wisdom, Family, and the Performing Arts,
Here you'll learn all about me...my hobbies, my interests, my pets
and my family.
I've even included links to my Karaoke Song Data Base and some
of my other favorite sites!
Easter was approaching.....another FOOD holiday for me, so I needed
a plan!
I made a couple of pies, then I needed to make a birthday cake for
my son. Oh my...all those trigger foods in the house...ON TOP OF THE EASTER CANDY! I decided to make LOTS of vegetables
along with my ham. potatoes and yams.
How did I do?....................
I ended up eating a SMALL slice of ham, along with asparagus, turnip
and green beans. Instead of rolls and butter, I had a slice of Weight Watcher Rye bread with a couple of sprays of "I Can't
Believe It's Not Butter". Had a half a glass of White Wine, and 32 oz. of water and 1/4 of a yam....(which I ended
up only eating half of!) For dessert I had fresh strawberries and low-fat Cool Whip with another 32 oz. of water.
All in all not a bad meal points wise.
BUT...there were still those
pies, the cake and that damn Easter candy out there to tempt me.
I decided right then and there to make it go away!
I packaged everything up, gave some to my son to take home, and
made my husband take the rest to work on Monday.
....WHEW...made it through another holiday, and I stayed on plan!
If I can do this...anyone can do it!
This is not a diet, it is a lifestyle...even when I am not
"counting" points....my brain is still counting points. Rarely do I go over, and I have maintained or lost weight almost
Every Single Week.
IF it's worth it, have
it in MODERATION
