This is my third week of Weight Watchers and over the past two weeks I have only lost 2 pounds, so I can already tell this is not going to be as easy thing.  Tomorrow is weigh in again-I have not gone over the points plus allowance during these three weeks, so I think I'm going to have to exercise a lot more to get this weight off,  Tonight I ate Lean Cuisine's Spring Rolls (you get 3 for 5 points).  I also made some fried rice (modified of course but very filling.  Used 1 Tblsp canola oil, onion, celery, cabbage, 1 cup of cooked rice and an egg, stir-fried with some reduced sodium soy sauce.  This was enough for 2 meals for me and very good.  I will buy those Spring Rolls again.  It comes with 6 rolls for 2 meals and they were on sale for $1.98!  Hope I can find them again at this price!  Peggy Johnson are on this "adventure together.  Suzanne Pluckett and Brenda Kraus have already done well on the program.  I think my motivation to lose this weight came from Kay Schnack, my friend who recently had the belly band surgery.  Nice to have some support when going through this.  I do like the online e-tools available now when you pay for the month.  Gotta be good!  So far I've been able to stay satisfied with the foods I'm choosing.  Even for breakfast at McDonalds this morning, I had their new Oatmeal with apples and walnuts-pretty good!  My usual would have been a sausage biscuit!  I was hungry too after fasting before lab work at Dr. Stout's office!

One of the highlights of my day lately has been "talking" to Wolfie over the phone.  I'm still not sure if he quite understands what is happening (but I don't know how the phone works either)!  Shalay has been calling me while Wolf is taking his bath because she is going to be in there with him the whole time anyhow and I can hear him babbling and singing in the background.  One of those times Shalay let hime talk and he said, all in one word, "hello meme, I uv you meme, by meme"!  Another time he made my day by saying "meme's house, happy:!  Then last night he referred to himself as "I darlin!"  I think I may call him that pretty often.  Special times!

I'm embarrassed that I have not posted here during the Christmas season.  I have so much to tell because it was a most wonderful time for me.  Shalay and Wolf came home on Dec 20 and Ben drove in, through terrible rain and wind on Dec 22.  We were all praying for his safety.  We had our extended family get-together on the 22-Marian and her family came, except we really missed Dennis, who has been in ICU with pneumonia during Christmas but doing better now.  Joey and Elaine came but we missed seeing Andy again this year.  As usual finger food on this night is always a hit.  Keith and Michele cooked some of the best chicken fingers ever!  I got a ham which was pretty much gone that night!  Usually I have some left for Christmas brunch.  Wolfie and Lydia didn't hate each other this time, thankfully and we had a great time with the sleepover and morning cookiemaking!  More later.........
