Wow, the first round of the holidays are over. Thank goodness. However, it will be months before I can see my living room floor again. The kids had a blast and got pretty much everything they wanted. Now Barry and I must look for another house to live in, as it looks like we live in the middle of toys r us. Good grief!! I managed to be terrific on Christmas Eve only having 2 pierogies, a kids bowl of the best creamy mushroom soup, some jello and a piece of cake. Oh and some champagne and a glass of baileys. Not to horrible. Christmas day was a bit worse. My mom did something unheard of in an Italian household on the holidays. She had it catered. However, oh my god was the food fantastic. I was good in the beginning just having only like 2 crackers with crab dip, and filling up on shrimp cocktail. Once that scrumptious food came out it was all over. I managed to take a taste of everything and went back for seconds. I would say out of both my plates I wasn't even half way close to what I would normally have. Then for desserts I had a half of a mini canolli and a piece of apple pie. So for my weight this week I was so scared to get on the scale. I weighed myself Sat morning before all the madness started. I was at 202.5 which was a 3.5 lb loss from last week. So I was thinking ok I have 3 lbs to play with. Just let me maintain that 206. Then an amazing thing happened this morning. I get on the scale with my fingers crossed...and the number looking back at me is 203. Whooo hooo...Ok now for my amazing secret...ready for this one.....After not eating any reach, creamy and ohh so bad foods for months...my stomach said utoh I can't have this...I wound up getting sick as a dog ... LOL ... So as a result Merry Christmas to me and managing to still have a 3 lb loss over Christmas. Hopefully next weekend will go ok as well...
