I’m down 0.6 - that’s a bit more than 1/2 a pound.  I’ll take that please and thank you very much!  I  have had a hard time keeping on track - with birthday parties, family get togethers and just trying to keep  my portions under control.  It’s seriously hard work.  Damn.  I wish losing weight was as easy as putting on weight!

But I’m feeling better and I’m trying hard this week to stay within my 26 points and trying not to use any extras for this week… which will be another challenge seeing that my Birthday is this weekend.

I’m making my cake - another Weight Watchers Recipe.  I thought I’d do a little recipe blogging on some that I’ve made, and some that just plain look good… sound good… that sort of thing. Check out my Weight Watchers/Good for you Foods Recipe Blog.

This past week has been a bit of a hurdle to over come because there are two people in my family celebrating birthdays at the end of the month. I’ve tried very hard to think “healthy” when deciding on what to offer at the birthday parties. For one I’ve made that delicious chocolate Weight Watchers Cake (yup, 3 points a slice… and chocolate goodness!). So that was a pretty big deal for me - because I’VE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE! Never really encorporated it into everyday life… you know. It’s just weird. But I did it. We also had Veggie dogs instead of the regular hot dog - although I had both for an option. Not so much because I want to be a vegitarian, but just to avoid all the fat that is in a usual hotdog.

So that was pretty awesome - also I did up a nice salad with mushrooms, peppers, cucumber… I’m like totally weirded out by the goodness of the food… for a birthday. LOL. But anyway, everyone seemed to enjoy it. I didn’t argue.

So now on Saturday I’ve got another birthday party. This one I have no control over what we eat… I’m not cooking. So we’ll see how successful this one will be.
