I guess patience truly is a virtue...one of which I do not possess. After my blog on Sunday about how depressed I was about trying on jeans at Old Navy did I mention I bought them as added motivation? Life lesson #54,234. Don't try on a new jean size while you have PMS and are expecting your little gift from Mother Nature. I suppose I was retaining water because today, right now, as I sit here writing this blog, I am wearing those size 12's that had me crying in the change room!
I feel great! The sun is shining and we're off to the big city to catch the Jays' game today! Mom is watching James and I think I'm more excited about having a day off being Mommy. Is that bad? Of course I've packed basically the entire house to bring to my parents. All his favourite toys and of course his Jolly Jumper. That boy is going to have legs of steal! It is so cute. When I'm doing my aerobics or yoga, I'll put him in it and he'll happily jump around with me, squealing the entire time. Best invention and shower gift ever!
I can't wait for weigh in this Saturday (have I mentioned that about a billion times already?). However immediately after weigh in I'll have two Easter dinner's to deal with. I'm nervous for the challenge. It will be the first actual "holiday" that I'm taking Weight Watchers seriously. The game plan. Vegetables go on the plate first followed by meat and potatoes. Watch portion sizes and it is okay to not have dessert (unless of course it is apple pie at Mom's house, anything else I'm okay with not eating). Still have quite the aversion to wine due to a drinking "incident" Christmas 2007...and not drinking since (partially due to the incident and majorly due to the baby). And of course the challenge of going to the ball park today. Of course the lure of a $20 hot dog doesn't really do anything for me.
Was a little over my daily point allotment for yesterday, but was under the day before so it works out in the end. Or WOULD have if Weight Watchers were still using Winning Points. Banking points made more sense to me at the time...but am getting used to Flex points. I went shopping with my Mom in the afternoon and had lunch at their house so did a little more snacking than I'd like, but kept it within check.

Sounds like you are doing fantastic! Never underestimate the monthly bloat but there are tricks, water with lemon slices help me a great deal with that. I have some carpal tunnel issues and water retention causes tingling in my hands so I find that helps.
good luck when you weigh in!
What an awesome report....dropping a size is a huge accomplishment. Good luck with the weigh in!
