Well, yesterday was Valentine’s Day. We didn’t really do anything special, because I already put chili in the crock pot. Also, Saturday is the anniversary of our engagment, so we decided to go out to dinner then. (Plus that morning I weigh in.) I had a lot of points left over in the day, so I stopped at Panera Bread and got some sourdough bread bowls to put the chili in, and a brownie and German Chocolate pastry for me and my husband. :dance: It is nice to have points for that occasional treat. (I start to have problems when it is more than occasional.)

 I step on the scale this morning for a sneak peek, and it looks like measuring my portions again has helped. It is always hard to tell with my scale, because it is about 5 lbs less than the scales at Weight Watchers. That is with clothing. :jawdrop:

 The contest with my dad has also been very motivating. We both have gained almost all our weight back since my sister died in October. I think we are finally getting back on track and even though we have our little contest, we are being supportive of each other. He is my long distance Weight Watcher buddy. I also notice that when I watch what I eat, my husband watches his intake more also, which is good for him too. He will be the first to say he needs to lose a few himself.
