Week 1 was a success!!!

Starting weight: 144.5, current weight: 141.3, and yes, I am VERY happy! Not a noticeable difference in my too tight jeans, but it sure made a difference in the roll over my new size 8's. I feel so much better because I have been good! I did have a teeny bite of a Reeses PB cup at Costco. It was way too sweet, so I gave it to my husband. That felt good and powerful! I did yoga again today and I loved it, however, if today had been last Tuesday, I would have thought it was too hard and might not have gone back. I have remained flexible as an adult, but hold $hit, it was tough at times. Then we "meditate" for the last 15 minutes, and about 5 minutes in I had to go potty, so my meditation was like this.....
Thank You Lord for all of my blessings, the weather is amazing, life is happy, I feel good...Oh, I have to go potty....But life is good, I am happy, the weather is beautiful, the leaves are incredible colors, but Oh, I have to go potty!!! I made it!

Today was my grandson Karson's 4th birthday. His big party is next Saturday. I would guess my daughter is spending over 300.00 on the party. They are going to a play area on the base, but it is like 12.00 a child, and siblings are charged.  Konner's party for turning 1, was at their house, but they had a bouncy house and a guy that made balloon animals....REALLY!!! I'm glad they are having fun, but I wish I was there!!!

I broke down and bought some Swerve sweetener on a buy one /get one free. I was shocked at how small the bag was for a retail of 10.99. Of course I knew it was 1 lb, but my Stevia in the Raw bag is twice the size and is 9.6 oz. Well, the Swerve is "weighted" just like sugar. It doesn't like fly around in the air, wispy little molecules like the stevia. Well I made my no bake cookies, I figure they cost over 5.00 to make, and I swear, I sang to the Heaven's. Seriously, ask my hubby! The texture was exactly like the old days of real sugar. Just stevia, they never really set up until they had been in the fridge for a week. The Swerve made my tongue feel cool around the edges, like when things melt in your mouth! I don't know how often I will buy it, but I love it!

The weather here is beautiful and the colors of the leaves are beyond gorgeous! It feels so good to sit outside and read. I have to say it is chilly, but sunny. We leave for Hawaii 3 weeks from tomorrow! Woot!!! I just read on the hotel website today that they are having a USA beach volleyball tournament on the beach in front of the hotel. I told my husband we will both have eye candy to look at!

I was going through our pantry trying to clear out some room today and found some window stickies that I used when the kids were little. I'm talking 20 years ago! I put them on our living room window, kind of tacky, but I love the memory!
Have a wonderful week!
Blessings and Happy Scales!!!
