Sunday morning reflections... end of week 1

What a great week.  Thank you so much for giving us this structure and support.

I am amazed by how much weight I lost this week... over 5 pounds, mostly from my midsection, I would guess, judging by how things feel.  Yeah me!  

And there was lots of good, hearty food involved!!!

By Thursday, we definitely were losing some steam.  It was really hard to get motivated to make dinner that night, but Scott did it and we pushed through. 

Weekends are a mess right now, because I'm worked nonstop and we are all burnt out. This is the last big weekend of sessions, so it should get easier moving forward.  I have two extended sessions today, and Scott is protesting a grocery store run, so I think we'll be filling in today again with some of the missed meals from last week to clean out the fridge some. And then I'll have Jamie (our nanny/helper) do a Wegmans run tomorrow to get us back in track. 

A few comments about the grocery list!  I think this is one of the keys to us doing it, so thank you.  I had recognized a few items that were for later in the week and had pulled for purchase later in the week to prevent spoilage (asparagus and salmon), but we had a few other things go wonky too, so I need to watch that more closely and plan on a small run on Thursday or so for end of week produce.  We ran out of carrots, as Scott had bought skinny little things, so that required a midweek run.  And the steak and sweet potatoes weren't on the list. No problem, just thought you might want to note these things...

Also, as an FYI, I'll be in Atlanta Sunday, September 29 though Saturday, October 5, at my sister Tara's helping her were her kids, so I think we'll skip that week as a formal plan week, though I plan to cook and eat smart.

Thanks so much!!!
