a songless songbird

I don't have any songs tonight.
Why not?
I'm tired.  Plain and simple.  I need to go to bed.  But, coffee, a running mind, and the desire to get something posted has me here.  At 2am.
I'm going to post quickly and then try to force myself to shut my brain down and sleep.
Today was weigh in day!
I was seriously not expecting much.  I tried to make good choices for the most part but, this first week back was hard.  I was taken out to dinner to two FABULOUS restaurants, The Melting Pot and Lottawatta Creek, (I highly recommend both!) and Ted Drewes for dessert and I ate well at each place. :o)
So, I was not anticipating facing the scale.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I have lost 2.4 lbs the past week.  Woohoo!  My WW meeting was good and very inspiring too.
I am happy with the results of the week.  I felt a slight twinge of guilt for losing after eating out this week when I got home and found out that hubby actually gained a little over a lb. this week.  He has been so dedicated to tracking his calories and walking this week.  I know he was disappointed.  I also know he does not want me to feel guilty for success so, I quickly put my guilt away.  He is such an encourager to me when I do well.  I love that about him!  I just hope to be the same for him.
Oh, and I discovered a new sweet treat that I think will work well for me.  I am a serious chocoholic and sweets lover.  Tonight I found that a shot glass of semi-sweet chocolate chips is just 4 pts.  I can take my time with these and eat one chip at a time.  By the end of the "shot" I was satisfied for my choco craving and felt like I had much more chocolate than I actually did. Yay!
Also, if you like apple pie...The new Jello temptations apple custard pie flavor is FAB!  Yummy!
Okay, that's all for tonight.  I seriously am about to pass out on the compuuuuuuuuuuuuuu


Just kidding!  Good night peeps!
