Dinner time....

I can't believe how empty the mall was today.  I took the kids there because my dd's girlfriend who is staying with us for a week, swallowed the end of her tongue ring last night at dinner, and needed a new one.  (I know, how gross!  DD will NOT be getting one!).  So, we picked up the boyfriend and went to the mall.  I sent them off on their own, and my little one and I went shopping the sales.  I thought it would be crowded today, but it wasn't bad.  I got three calendars at 50% off, a wall hanging for dd's room, and a new book bag for her as well.  I tell you, those rolling book bags just fall apart if you get the cheap ones.  So, I splurged and got one for $19, on sale from $30.  My dd is thrilled because it has dual wheels.  She was pulling it around the mall saying, "Mom, you just won't believe how smooth this is!"  I tell you, sometimes it doesn't take much to impress a 9 year old.  So, from there it was off to the grocery store for dinner supplies.  I have tons of stuff at home, so why do I feel it necessary to go to the store and buy more????  I don't know.  I forgot to set the hamburger out to defrost, so I needed fresh meat. Anyhoo, it's lasagna (is that spelled right?  It doesn't look right....) and salad and oatmeal cake for dessert.  Yeah, like I need a fat-laden, carb-filled dinner after the holidays.  I really need to lose some weight.  My plan is to try the Weight Watchers points system.  Has anyone out there tried that?  I have heard good things about it.  I am not a candidate for Atkins, because I hate meat and cheese on a daily basis.  SlimFast has worked before, if I needed to lose a quick 5-10.  I actually like SlimFast a lot.  Maybe I will merge the two....do you think I'll lose twice as fast?

I have several friends who have had great success with Weight Watchers. My daughter works seasonal at Target and after Friday, she said the store has been dead, too. I think your dinner sounds great. I just ordered pizza because it was just me and my girls tonight.

My donut friend! I found your journal! You can't do the point system! You would use all your points on one Krispy Kreme! Actually my neices do it and it works for them. But you must remember they are not members of the KKA!

I need to lose weight too...walking always works for me and dancing. I eat what I want. But yes I have seen people on weight watchers and jenny craig drop weight fast. Slim fast puts weight on me. Maybe its all the sodium in it?

I"ve lost over 70lbs with slimfast so far and the only reason it works so well for me is because I love it so much :) If you go to the slimfast website they have a link to the points values of all their products that you could print right out :)
