Awwww, girls! All your encouraging words made my eyes well up with tears! Thanks, everyone, for all the nice words! I know that each of you meant it with sincerity..and that means everything!!!

I know that we all realize how important we are to each other.....I just want to say that I realy, REALLY appreciate each and every one of you!
Well, life got a little more stressful if you can believe that. My Mamaw-in-law found out Friday evening that she has lung cancer. It is tearing me up! My son absolutely adores her....so do I! We won't know until they get lab results if it's treatable or terminal. She's 78....and it's not looking good because there's so much of it. I cried half the day Friday.....even so, did well with eating. Stayed well within my points. I'll be working full-time it seems for a long time.....ahh, stress, stress everywhere. Don't ya just hate it?? LOL
Well, while I did good Friday, Saturday was probably a bomb. I did really good all day until night meal. It was my father-in-law's b-day....we (the WHOLE family) took him to all-you-can-eat seafood for dinner. My husband and I saved up all our points for dinner.....I probably didn't bomb that bad. My point target is 28. When we got there, I'd only had 3 for the day. I ate 4 pieces fried catfish, probably 8 french fries, two hushpuppies, 1 stuffed crab, 2 onion rings, and a handfull of fried shrimp. It was all fried....they don't offer
ANY healthy foods at this place. EVERYTHING'S fried. The good thing is that I didn't eat nearly as much as normal. I'd normally have gone back for seconds and probably thirds. Then I'd have had dessert. But I was totally full when I finished the plate I had. I also had three or four bites of the birthday banana pudding (usually it's cake, but his fav. is banana pudding).
The good news is (YES, there is some!!!)....I don't know how long it'll last after my meal last night, but today I was down a total of 9 lbs! Not bad for 1 1/2 weeks! I dread the day when that weekly amount slows! I know it's coming very soon, though! I'm enjoying the ride while it lasts, though! I did a lot of "exercising" yesterday, too....so hopefully I made up for some of what I ate last night. I cleaned house for probably 2-3 hours and then went grocery shopping for probably 1 1/2 hours. Before, I'd have been too beat after cleaning house to even attempt shopping! lol
Girls, keep me in your thoughts and prayers as we go thru the next several weeks and months of whatever is in store for mamaw. I know that I can stick to my points. I just concerned about mamaw.
Hope we all have wonderful days today! Happy Sunday to you all!
