Weigh-In After Holiday

Let's get right to the point.....lol I was up .8 No worries at all! If I can enjoy the food that I eat once a year and be up only .8 I will take it! :) Moving FORWARD! We had a very nice Christmas. Sean was sick and my camera decided to take blurry pictures- NICE! lol Santa needs to come back soon I guess to deliver a camera! :-/


Ok so a few pics- Sean never wants presents and the ones that I get him are always personal. So I ordered a picture book from Snapfish. HE LOVED IT! (aww sick boy)
 Dad in his robe...
 my favorite pic but its BLURRY! Mom opening her iPad. I love the shocked face! lol :)
 Sick boy making our traditional pizzas!


My Mom cutting into the dish she makes ONCE A YEAR that I was DYING FOR! I have no idea how to spell it. lol It's dough with ground pork, cheese, spices, & anchovy oil. YUM!
 look how happy a slice makes me!
 ooh yes!


Ah yes, back to reality!  BIG ASS SALAD! Lettuce, red cabbage, shredded carrots, garbanzo beans, grilled chicken, toasted sliced almonds.
 This Trader Joes dressing that I tried is tasty!
 Nice stats!
 Today I had to run over to see my parents...lunch was a turkey & roast beef sandwich on a bagel thin, pickles, & popchips. :)

 Dinner was vegetable won ton soup. YUM!

I have been really busy reading and learning all of the lessons in the book 8 Steps To A Pain Free Back
I go back tomorrow for another session with Esther. I know the first few days after I saw her I kept waiting to feel more pain...it's a very strange feeling for me to be in constant pain then all of a sudden it's a much lower pain level than I have been used to. Weird! I am really happy that I already can tell these sessions are working for me. :) It will be something that I need to focus on and constantly practice, but it is worth it! :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday! I have been really behind on reading blogs with all of the homework I have been doing for my sessions. :-/ I miss reading I really do! Hope everyone is doing well with all of this crazy weather out there too! STAY SAFE!

BYE! :) Pin It

  1. I am THRILLED about the improvement in your back! That is sooooo awesome! I love seeing your dad's face after hearing his nice voice this afternoon. (tell him a BIG THANKS from me). And as for your mom, believe me, my face would be just as shocked to receive an iPad, especially since I have now asked TWICE and the birthday and Xmas elves have declined both now. Valentines Day? Mothers Day? Groundhog Day? A girl can hope.

    That concoction of your mother's looks might yummy.

  9. At least you were brave enough to get on the scale...I am not even at the point yet. Damage control. LOL I will get there though. Life and weight loss are not lived in a linear line, there are ups and downs, the important thing is not to lose track of the direction we desire to go in. :)

  13. I'm with Lila -- that dish your mom makes loks so interesting. So unlike anything I've ever had. HOW does she do it?

    And I'm so excited about your pain level. And, I wish that picture of your mom would have been clear. It is so cute!

  14. I'd take that tiny gain too for a once a year splurge:) I suspect it will drop off fast. Made my husband an photo book - love those.
