I have had a good week! My scale at home finally broke the 170 mark, and today I was actually at 167.8 lbs. I seemed to be stuck in the 170's for so long! Weight Watchers has made a few changes to their program. One of them was to decrease the minimum daily points plus target to 26 from 29. So that's what I did this week, I went down to 26. And, well, it worked. I weighed in today at WW and I was down 2.4 lbs. That's the most I have lost in awhile and it feels so good to have lost. I was finally able to put some pretty blue stones in my heart shaped glass jar :-) I have missed doing that. I now have 11 more pounds to lose. 11 pounds!! I have never been this close to goal before. It is a little scary that it's so close to Christmas though. I have worked so hard that I really don't want to "undo" any of this. My goal is to maintain over Christmas, not lose and not gain. Wouldn't that be great? My plan is to eat a bit of whatever I REALLY want, and to leave the rest. I promise myself I will do my best to exercise too. I am feeling so strong and fit these days, I am addicted to the feeling of working out. I have noticed muscles where I never had muscles before. My calves, arms and thighs are firming up.
I am still NOT ready for Christmas yet. And I am getting annoyed at all the people that seem to ask that question at this time of year....."are you ready for Christmas?" No. I'm. Not. But I will be :-) I have 3 days off this weekend and then I'm off Wednesday next week too. So on those days I will hopefully finish my shopping, do a bit of baking, wrap the gifts, send out a few cards (that likely won't get to their destinations on time...sigh) and clean the house. I have had a really hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year because we don't really have any snow to speak of. There has only been one Christmas that I can remember in my 48 years living here that there was no snow for Christmas. It will be strange if there isn't any. There is still a week until Christmas eve so we will see!
The one sixties baby!!

How wonderful to break that plateau!!! Congratulations!!! I think you've got the right idea to get through the holiday treats as well - you'll be at goal before long with that great attitude. :)
And OK, I'll stop asking people, as I ring up their jewelry purchases, if they're ready for Christmas. ;) Every once in a while I get everything done right after Thanksgiving - those are the relaxed years. This year was not one of them...
