home again, home again, jiggity jig!

I guess that's probably a good indicator about missing my grand babies, eh? We had a wonderful weekend, as usual, but with more snow that we have ever been there for. There was a 5 foot bank just off the porch that went out to the beach, although I think it was down by close to a foot by the time we left. It was beautiful for walking, just not on the beach as we usually can. We think there was open water before we left today too, but if so it is late enough this year that they have an ice breaker booked for Monday.

I planned some extra snacks for the weekend and was pretty satisfied with how I did. I did have a lot more difficulty with Betty's dessert this time as it was one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted. I had a taste...one taste! I had quite a few extra nuts and some of Mary's pineapple loaf, that had no sugar or oil, but did have chocolate chips. I had no other bread and lots of veggies and fruit, yogurt, club soda and fennel tea. Even if I have gained this week, I feel good about it. I have no worries about continuing on my path.

I have started reading a book, which I think is going to be a huge help to me. I intended to pick it up at Costco, but realized it was cheaper, and easier, to get it on my tablet. It's called "The Diet Fix", and I think the author's name is Freedhoff, but will check. I believe he's one of the Drs who started one of the medical bariatric clinics near Ottawa. He explains things in such a way that it's easy to understand and is a really good reinforcement for the program so far. I will let you know if I continue to feel this positive about it as I go along. I am usually disappointed in self-help books but so far this is great!

I'm tired so that's it for tonight.

Oh Jesus dear before I sleep...elly
