Happy Tuesday! I'm not going to weigh myself until tomorrow. Giving myself one more day to reverse the effects of the holiday weekend before recording any gain or loss. Probably gain but one can dream right? ;)
This weekend was fun. We went to a Spanish Tapas restaurant in Old Town Alexandria on Saturday night. Sunday we had a BBQ with a couple of my brothers' friends. It was soooo hot outside. My brother is supposedly on the South Beach diet right now but I watched him consume (in one sitting) a hot dog, a big piece of chicken, AND a cheeseburger. I didn't say anything to him b/c he has to want to do it for himself, right? I don't know. Maybe I should have said something like, "is that on South Beach?"
We had yesterday off so we went to Salem's brother's house. His wife is on bedrest for her 3rd pregnancy so we wanted to help him out w/ the other 2 kids. It was fun playing w/ them but we were there all day and I had so much to do around our house that I feel a bit overwhelmed. I have a lot to accomplish this week/weekend.
We got this thing at Target called Bark Off that's supposed to keep your dog from nuisance barking. Save your money. Howie could have cared less! Lol.
I did decently w/ eating given that it was a holiday weekend and there was so much food EVERYWHERE. Now it's back to my normal schedule. I have a Fiber One bar, strawberries, grapes, and a clementine to get me through the day.
THREE THINGS I'M GRATEFUL FOR TODAY:
1) Short work week
2) No plans this weekend so I can get some stuff done around the house
3) My family
Have a great day! :)

Hi Chris! Glad you are well and sounds like you had a great weekend.. I don't know about your brother but I think you made a wise choice in not saying anything. Sometimes people get touchy when they are reminded and it could have opened a new can of worms. lol Hope you are having a great day !

I have a dieting policy that allows certain days to be free days - Christmas, my birthday and Thanksgiving. I know that I'm going to blow it and so while, generally I still use common sense I don't make myself bad or guilty about it - I'm sure your brother will need some time to get his head around dieting. Gosh knows the first thing I do when I try to get back on track is pig out on stuff I wouldn't normally eat. :D I don't know you or your brother, but I know that my brother and I have supported each other over the years. Like we have a no evil dessert policy when we have dinner together.

Thank goodness for the 35 extra points!!!
do you go to the WW meetings? I'm not a big fan of the points system.. I always ended up losing my points calculator thing... and then I would end up eating tons of crap!!
counting calories seems to work for me...( but not lately.. nothing seems to be working!!)

Amy~ no, I just do the online WW tracking points and use their site. That's a good idea Amarok, like just birthdays and Xmas letting yourself get nuts for 1 day w/ the eating.

I had the same thought--about reversing the effects of the weekend. How awful--bedrest with two little ones. I'm sure she was really really glad for the help. and good to know about Bark Off. I've seen ads and I was wondering if it would work. I think doing decently over a holiday weekend counts as a success.
