This week my middle daughter accompanied me to Weight Watchers. Last week, my son went. After the meeting, we headed to Central Market to explore, eat breakfast, and shop a little for healthy foods for the upcoming week. Being in Central Austin each Saturday makes me so happy, and reconnects me energetically to this quirky town. Next week is my oldest daughter's turn to go!





My son last week...


My boy...


My taco today, and the fresh strawberry lemonade we shared...


Weighing produce...


We split a little gelato at the end...


String cheese for afternoon snack (I skipped lunch)...


A tablespoon of French butter while I cooked...oily hands like the desperate animal I was!


Broccoli and chicken...I have created a recipe for low-cal, gluten-free barbecue "Shake N Bake"...


Coke Zero at the movies on a date with the husband, no pic...

A delicious Texas peach!


One ounce of blue cheese to curb my late-night "I want something rich and salty" craving...

Slipping

A week without tracking and blogging, without preparing my plate before eating.  Too much grabbing of "bites" after long bouts of manual labor at work--pretzels, a muffin and a glass of milk, bites of my kids' chocolate Easter bunnies, potato chips.  Carb endulgences begat more cravings.

So...I started toying this afternoon with an escape from tomorrow's weigh-in.  The first meeting I want to skip in 17 weeks.  "Maybe just one", I thought several times.  I don't want to face the music and I am playing games with myself.  I've lost something every week for 16 weeks.  But, tomorrow will be different.

Must go anyway.  This is my year.  No excuses.  Face the music.  I love myself too much to quit, and little eyes are watching me.
