Ok. So, nearly a month has passed. No, I did not totally stick with the program through the holidays, but I did not gain any weight. So, back to journaling, counting points and taking care of business. I guess if I were to say what caused the slacking on my resolve to hit my ten year anniversary better than ever I would just say this. My daughter. My oldest child is 20. She has taken all we have raised her with and tossed it away. She has made choices we would never support. It is painful. She came home to "make ammends". It turns out I just bent over backwards giving her the Christmas she wanted. I pulled out all the stops. The huge meals, the great gifts, all of it. She left anyway.
Through the sadness of it all and the overwhelming grief the counting of the points seemed so pointless. However, my resolve returned with the passage of time. My shiny flashing scale seems a bit more inviting and that Emeril turkey breast I made last night was incredible. What made the change you may ask? Ok here it is. My husband had bad news with his latest diabetes numbers and triglycerides. So, he has to fix it. I cannot have him do better than me can I? Lol!
