Doing a Happy Dance here!

I am in an incredibly GREAT MOOD this morning!!! I have been back from WW for about an hour and am getting a chance to share my good news!!
I didn't go to w/i last week or the week before. Last week we had company leaving on Saturday morning, so I didn't go. The week before, I was afraid of gaining and didn't go because, well, I just didn't. Today, I weighed on my scale at home and it showed me at 206. That was a real happy number for me, so I thought about it and finally decided at 7:00 a.m. that I would go to WW. I went, got on their scale and it weighed me at 206.2. Alright!! Our scales are within ounces! I am so happy!! I've lost 35.4 pounds now! No, it's not HUGE losses, but it's losses!!! I am so doing a happy dance right now!! It's made my day!!
I've actually got to fly--I'm meeting a couple of people down at the fitness center to practice our forms and things and I need to get my uniform on. I haven't practiced for a week, so this will be fun.

Sunday mix of things...

Weigh in first...last week, I weighed in at 208.5 at home. I didn't make it to W/I because I got up too late. The next morning, I weighed in at 207. Talk about shock! Unfortunately, it went back up to 210 on Wednesday, but it was back to 209.5 yesterday. Are you confused yet? Well, today...it was 207. I'm fluctuating right around the 208-210 range. I'm pretty happy with myself.
I didn't go to weigh in yesterday either--we had company from out of town who was leaving in the morning. She'd been here with her boys since Thursday afternoon. We enjoyed ourselves while she was here. They live in Idaho but had been visiting her parents for the month of June.
We've not done too much else this weekend. I went out shopping with a friend from Martial Arts and visited a wonderful kitchen store called Le Gourmet Chef. I picked up some Stonewall Kitchen mixes...things I've wanted to try but hadn't been able to buy from their catalog just yet. This way too, I find out if I liked it. We had the cinnamon swirl quick bread this morning. I calculated it at 4 points since I couldn't find anything to match it with. Not too bad.
For lunch, we took the kids to On The Border and I found out that they have a wonderful (MOST WONDERFUL!!) grilled salmon!! Needless to say, that was my lunch and probably dinner too. I'm not very hungry. A bit thirsty, despite having somewhere around 3 1/2 glasses of water with lunch. I didn't eat the rice either--it wasn't appealing to me. I wanted the salmon and the vegetables. I'm in a vegetable mood today. Last night, hubby and I sat down and for a late-night snack, we had cucumbers. Cucumbers and The Sopranos. Definitely a weird combination. It worked for us.

This weekend was also the Kodanja in Jackson's Gap, Alabama. i really wanted to be there--it would have been a wonderful experience. It just wasn't in my cards this time around...I'll be in much better shape next year anyway. That's my thought. I can't wait to hear from everyone who went how it was. I am envious of them! Hopefully I'll be able to go next year.
