So There I Was....

Wow, it's been a while since I last blogged. For those of you that do follow this blog, my current status is - I am still on plan and doing well. I've lost a total of 19.6 pounds. I hope to get my 4th 5 pound star this week. I hope, but I am not going to plan on it because of a little restaurant called Joe's Crab Shack.

You see, on Nov 20, John and I will celebrate 11 years of marriage. We couldn't take the 20th off, so we celebrated a week early. His annual surprise trip took us to Camas, Washington, where we stayed in a beautiful, renovated old hotel with the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. I'd seen commercials for Joe's Crab Shack for months and have wanted to go there. I was so good all week. Not using a single weekly point, knowing that I was going to blow it all at Joe's.

John and I talked about staying on plan and he suggested we split a bucket. I am so glad he did. We both nibbled during the day, so by the time dinner rolled around, I still had 27.5 points for the day and the 35 for the week. I literally gorged myself. I ate crab-artichoke dip, crab legs dipped in clarified butter and drank 3 Long Island Iced Teas (they were pretty weak). We got done with dinner and I literally waddled to the truck. Then we drove back to the hotel, where after a few hours and a few more cocktails in the bar we called it a night.

When we got home today, I entered all the points for everything I had consumed yesterday and today (I've been so good today) and I still have 11 weekly points left to last til Wednesday night.

Maybe, just maybe, I will be able to lose this week and get my 4th star. I am 5.6 pounds away from my 10% goal. I might actually be able to do this by the end of the year!!!

So, here is hoping and I'll try to blog sooner rather than later.
