Hi friends, It's Friday.
I don't know about you, but this is my hardest day of the week to NOT overeat. I just want to celebrate the fact that it's the weekend, and how do you I love to do that? I just want to eat - anything that's unhealthy, fried, salty, au gratin, whatever. Happy hour, steaks on the grill, you name it I could eat it.
But I have to remember, it's not all about FOOD.
Over the past month, we have had a lot of kids newly diagnosed with cancer, probably 6 or 7 if I had the time to sit down and count. Ages 12 months to 12 years. I have watched one of my favorite teenagers lose 10 pounds in a few weeks, and she was already thin. It really helps me put things in perspective. It's just food.
SO, just to encourage you, NOT DISCOURAGE YOU, or make you sad, keep on keeping on dear friends. I have prayed for you all every morning, and will continue to do so.
You guys in turn, encourage me with your postings, your emails, and your friendship.
THANKS!!!
Now go have a FUN filled Labor Day weekend - eat LOTS of watermelon!
And you know what, I've found veggie burgers really aren't so bad.

Lisa, I found veggie burgers(grilled) with avacado and lots of l&t and pickles with spicy mustard on an Oroweat Sandwich thin is VERY good.
I can't do the ww math but its 100cal 1g fat 5g fiber.

Have a super good weekend, with family and watermelon. Have your grilled steak after Sat weigh-in ..LOL..CYA on Monday..
I am working at home and R is a mountain man in Bandera history days. So packed weekend too.
Veggie burgers are good, turkey too. I need your mailing address, will u e-mail me?
I had light fajitas from Mamacita's this afternoon and the kids want spagetti, meatballs, and tiramisu to dessert ..... Maybe I'll just enjoy the fellowship!
I'll weigh in Monday!
Yes Mary I LOVE those orowheat sandwich buns - the 9 grain are my favorite (thanks to Hungry-Girl for the tip) Our Sam's is way across town, but I have found them at our local grocery store. They are ONLY 1 WW POINT!!! Way better than regular hamburger buns for sure.
I'm splurging this holiday weekend, by the way. The grocery store had some beautiful pork ribs on sale, and I succumbed. Only one or two will do for me, thank you...but it is a holiday.
Happy Holiday girl friends!!!
I'm off to Orlando on Wednesday am for 5 days of nursing CEs about childhood cancers, etc. I've got my blackberry fixed to blog from there (I think!)
I so appreciate you reminding us to have the proper perspective. It's just food...exactly! Lisa~
