December 2002 Non Scale Victories!

Dec. 5, 2002: Just came back from 5 day Cruise to find out that I lost 1 Pound!! Woo-Hoo!!:))) Planned it all out ahead of time. Printed off blank journal pages, took books and points calculator and we made sure to get lots of activities and walking in on the shore tours!! SO Proud of myself!!:))


Dec. 7, 2002: Went to a Gourmet Holiday Dinner Party a friend was having and stayed on program!! Watched what I ate and how much I ate. Passed on dessert and had low point Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich instead, when I got home!:)

Dec. 12, 2002: Baked from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. for our upcoming Holiday Open House. Had couple of cookies while I baked and then stuck a tootsie roll pop in my mouth to keep me from snacking without thinking! Stayed within my points range for the day!!:)

Dec. 13, 2002: Went to Sam's Club with my hubby on Friday the 13th, of all days, geez!! Took a lot of effort and a tight grip on the shopping cart, but I made it past ALL the sample carts with out tasting even one thing!!:) Hubby bought me some Skinny Cow ice creams there and quickly gave me one when we got back to the car!! LOL!! He knew I had the 2 points for it and he knew I needed it by then too!:)

Dec. 14, 2002: Day of our Holiday Open House. There were little smokie sausages, chicken wings, pizza rolls, cookies, chips, dip - you name it and we had it available! I watched what I ate and had banked extra points all week long prior to it. I journaled everything I would eat that day before hand and stuck to it!:)

Dec. 15, 2002: OMG!!! My women's size 15/16  jeans fit again!!!:)))) I haven't had them on in over 2 years!:)))

Dec. 16, 2002: 10% goal made today!!!! :)))) Ok, guess this is a scale victory too! :)

Dec. 25, 2002: Hubby and I had Christmas Dinner together at home:) Planned out low point foods menu and stuck to it!!:)

Dec, 26 - 30th: In-Laws visited. Made Weight Watcher recipes while they were here. Kept some low point snack items on hand for me while others ate up Christmas Cookies:) Did not go off program at all:)

Dec. 29, 2002: My Birthday!!:))) Banked points all week long to use at Medieval Times tonight for dinner!! Also made a Weight Watcher recipe for a chocolate layer cake for my Birthday cake! Only 5 points for one slice and was really good too!!:)))
