I made it through Christmas Day, and used about 8 of my weekly points allowance, on top of my daily points. The problem is that I think I blew out my knee. And I wasn't even doing anything when it happened! So, I went upstairs early, which kept me out the kitchen, and rested. It feels better today, but it's still not "normal" (whatever that means). I'll have to wait until tomorrow to call the doctor, since today is a holiday, and I doubt that anyone would be available to see me.
We didn't have a white Christmas, but it was a bit chilly. It's cold and windy out today, which is a marked improvement over last year, when we had a nor'easter blow in and dump over a foot of snow on us. Maybe hubby will take the girls out to lunch and shopping. I think I'm staying put, at least for today.
I lost 3 pounds last week, so my total is up (down) to 16.6. Seems like it's so little when I look back to when I started, but my clothes are starting to fit again, and in some cases, are getting almost too big to wear. Progress in the right direction. Let's hope that my knee doesn't derail all this hardwork. I'd really like for this to be the LAST TIME I rejoin WW!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

No wonder the PO is losing money
For the second time this month, I have to go to the Post Office to pick up a package. The first time, it had been scanned as delivered, but really hadn't been. We got it the next day. This time, it was supposedly scanned into the Post Office on Dec 6 -- 2 full weeks ago, and a notice left, but we never got the notice. And at the time the notice was supposedly left, I was home. Yeah, go figure. I know they are dealing with a lot of package this time of year, but really? Not to even leave a notice?
So, hopefully, I can get to the Post Office and get my package before I have to be at work at 10:30. Since the PO doesn't open until 10, this should be interesting.
On the weight loss journey, I've managed to lose 12 pounds. I think the big part of this is having Hubby travel with me. He's lost about 20 pounds, so that's good for him as well. We made it through Thanksgiving w/o gaining, now comes Christmas and Christmas Eve. We can do it!
ARGHHHH! Now to get ready for work and do battle to get my package, which also happens to be a Christmas present for daughter #2!

Rain is better than snow
It's December, and it's been raining all day. It's gloomy enough that the light sensor timer on our outdoor lights thinks that we should have our Christmas lights on, even though it's not even 3 PM!
Anyway, my progress on WW has been very, very , very slow. I made it through Thanksgiving w/o gaining anything, but have "only" lost 0.8 lb in the last month. I have been better at tracking, weighing, measuring and everything since hubby joined WW with me, but I haven't seen much progress at the scale. On the other hand, my jeans are fitting better, and some of them may even be getting loose, so there's that.
One good thing is that oranges are in season. My parents live about 5 miles from this little grove that ships oranges out. I've already had a bushel, and am getting ready to order another. These are Indian River navel oranges and they are like crack. So, good, juicy and you can't eat just one. I guess it's better than sitting around eating cookies instead!
Time to go deal with a local company that was supposed to call me about shipping gifts to my brother and sister. Oh well. We're supposed to "shop local" but when the local people screw up, what are you going to do?
