Annette - I noted that change in your favour in the tally.
Marsha - Happy new week to you! I’m glad you are getting into the swing of things. I’m curious (if you don’t mind my asking), when you say you are backing away from too many sweet potatoes, like, how many are we talking here? Is this the most calorie dense food you are eating? I have no doubt at all that you will get to that goal soon.
ShortnSweet - Thanks for checking in this weekend. I hope your girls weekend was a blast and that you managed to make many, many great McDougall-y choices.
Vee - Nice loss this weekend. I’m glad you are enjoying the Mary’s mini. For anyone unfamiliar with it, here are the 2 main write ups about it:
June 2006 Newsletter and the
July 2006 Newsletter. I remember a bunch of you talking about a really cute couple who were vlogging about their Mary’s Mini. I think their name is The Krock’s. They may add some Mary’s Mini entertainment to your life, if you’re interested, try googling or searching you tube for them. Thanks for shifting your weigh-in day, it really is helpful for me, so I appreciate it.
Moonlight - I hope things went ok at your mom’s...but if not, no worries.
Sirdle - Nice loss.
Frowsyowl - I’m thrilled to hear it. Are you still doing okay? Letting those extras fall away is a great way to put it.
Laura - The normalization of your blood pressure and cholesterol levels is an amazing feat, in and of itself. Congratulations Laura! Additional weight loss can be trickier once the fear from a health scare fades away because sometimes motivation can start to lag a bit. Keep working on getting the MWL guidelines right so that if an opportunity for new motivation presents itself you can start from where you left off versus doing any backtracking and weight gain. Hitting new-low numbers on the scale can be very motivating for the short term. If you can use that motivation to completely pull yourself out of
the pleasure trap then maintaining that momentum becomes easier and easier. Best, most positive, wishes to you this week too!
Connie - XO. Thanks for checking in. How has your health been since the last time we discussed it? I hope you are well.
Sirdle (again) - Thanks and thanks!
Recent dinners:
I will admit that I ate two full plates of what is pictured below tonight. Those
Sweet Potato Curry Burgers are just too good!
