Pumpkin Muffins

If you could see me, I'd be dancing. I'm now down 8.25 pounds. I still have many more to go, but I feel like I'm getting it. This week I had the toothache to end all toothaches. I had to go to the dentist 3 times and it still is not fixed. I've been on huge doses of antibiotics and I took extra strength vicodin for 3 days. (I didn't even know there was such a thing.) I am THANKFUL for drugs!

But! I did NOT medicate myself with food like I usually would. When I needed soft foods, I ate yogurt, not ice-cream. I am very proud of myself. And I ate! I tried to be careful to get all the nutrition I needed every day even though I didn't feel great. I skipped one day of walking, but other than that, I kept to my exercise schedule. I slacked off a bit when I trained with Whitney yesterday; I didn't have a lot of energy, but I still did it.

At next weeks weigh-in, I will be down ten pounds! 1/5 of the way to my goal. I'm not going to get over-confident, I know I am a food addict with the potential to go nuts at any minute, but for the moment, I am in control.

I am really loving weight watchers. Last night I made pumpkin muffins (2 points each). I ate one for breakfast and I may have one for dessert tonight after dinner. Life is good. :-)
