Can I just say that I can't believe that one week from today, when we are all blogging yet again about our battle with fat, Christmas will be over!!! I still have a lot of shopping to do. Anyways, I have a good report this week. I have lost 3lbs!!! Now I would love to tell you that I did by drinking my water, eating my proteins as well as my fruits and vegetables (Although I was challenged by friend Valleygirl). The real truth is that Sunday afternoon I came down with one of the worst stomach virus' I think I have ever had. I literally thought that I was going to see my small intestine!! I won't go into anymore details...trust me I don't want to relive it. Until yesterday I really have not had much of an appetite. I know this isn't the best way to lose weight but hey...I will take what I can get right now.
Here comes the real challenge. Susanne's 3 children are coming to our house today and staying through Saturday.(Oh by the way in case you haven't made the connection Truly Captivating and I are sisters.) Her oldest child, Emilee, is always complaining about not wanting to play with "the boys." I can hear her now "Aunt KK will you play with me? The boys won't play what I want to play." Poor darling she is the only girl out of 5 grandchildren. So I am planning on doing some baking with her. Anytime we are in the kitchen she is always wanting to help so I figured this would be some good bonding time for us plus maybe start a little tradition with her. So needless to say I need to pray for strength not to eat all the cookies, brownies, or whatever else we decide to make as well as keep my fingers out of the batter. I have a really bad habit of eating cookie dough. If I can keep these 3lbs off through Christmas I will call it success. Until next week.....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Hope you have fun with the kids! Praying GOd will keep you out of those things you do not need.
Blessings,

I didn't do so well with grabbing fruit for an evening snack either, although I did cut back on the snacking in general. (that's how bad it is -- I'd rather eat NOTHING than fruit or vegetables!!)
I didn't step on the scale this morning mostly because I forgot and had already eaten breakfast when I thought of it. I'm sure the news won't be great. We did our little family Christmas here this afternoon (because we're heading off to the big city on Saturday for a week) and while hubby sat on the couch, eating fudge and other chocolates, I restricted myself to just two pieces, so that's a small victory for me. Of course, we went into town this morning and had Chinese food for lunch, so I won't actually NEED to eat for another day or two!
Hope you feel great really soon and have a wonderful Christmas!!
I am praying for you Sistah!! I had an awful week!! WE CAN DO THIS!!! I love you, and be sure to take care of my precious ones!! (If you are taking on Miss Em, you will definitely have your HANDS FULL!! The energy you will spend, will hopefully negate any extra calories "batter dippin" will afford!) ;-) I LOVE YOU!!!
I have a prize for you over at my blog! Come check it out!
