TWC- Week 7

We're on the downhill slope toward our finish line! I'm excited to say that I have lost a little weight so far on this challenge. I wish it was more, but beggars can't be choosers. ;)

I'm feeling good and that's what's important. I'm almost sad we're so close to the end because I like having the extra motivation.

It has gotten really cold around here and I've been drinking a lot of tea to keep warm. Yum! That is zero calories since I don't put anything in it. We're having soup for dinner more often and that is pretty healthy. I know some people end up putting on weight when it is cold out because you want to sit around doing nothing but eat.

I did really well on my birthday! The night before we went out for dinner but I had a sandwich and salad and used very little dressing. We did order dessert to share but I was so full that I only had a few bites of it and let the boys eat it up. On my actual birthday, I had a small half-piece of this super rich, yummy, very chocolate-y cake Raymond's grandma made. I did have Raymond take the leftovers to work the next day so it kept it out of our house and off my thighs! I didn't get very much exercise in though. We've been busy and it is SO COLD! I know moving and exercising will help me warm up but ugh, I don't want to actually do it. It's cold and rainy and I want to sit around. I'm going to really try to get more exercise in this week before we leave for Chicago.

I know everyone is busy with Christmas parties and goodies and lots of delicious food tempting us in every direction! But I think we can enjoy those things without completely gorging, right?

We are so close! I hope you're having small successes here and there and are getting close to (if you haven't already reached) your goal!

Love you all!
