Aargh.
Not a happy scale week for me, but good for Seth in that he managed not to gain anything.
Some people would become more motivated as the end of their proclaimed year of dieting drew nearer. I am evidently not one of them.
In happy but unrelated news, I just created a sewing nook in the corner of my bedroom where the dog bed used to be. Sorry dogs, but it's not like you used it anyway. You guys just spend all night sleeping on my torso. This just formalizes the arrangement.
And as for new & interesting food-related things: I picked up a southwestern-style quinoa and black bean mix to try, and some tofu-filled ravioli. So I'm still experimenting with healthier choices, and still trying. I'm just not quite as passionate about it as I was 50 weeks ago.
But heck, I weigh a lot less now and I have no designs on supermodeldom. (Is that a word? It is now.) Why should I be very passionate about losing more? :-)
PS - As a follow up from last week, our new twin cousins are Leo (Lionel) and Nico. I just can't wait for the Thanksgiving gathering chaos! I'll have tiny babies to cuddle!! Yay!!

Week 49
PJ Weight: 158.6
Week Gain: +1.2
Cumulative Loss: 33.0
Seth Weight: 178.6
Week Gain: +0.4
Cumulative Loss: -20.7
So, there's that gain that I was expecting last week.
Yep.
Rather than write about the depressing numbers up there, I'll just chalk it up to the remaining girl scout cookies and a rather large portion of indifference.
Things that I'm definitely NOT indifferent about: Our cousins are expecting a set of twins* tomorrow afternoon (via c section - hence the specific arrival time) and we're super excited about it. Jade and Raven will have some playmates at the Thanksgiving get-together, and two of the most amazing people I've ever been fortunate enough to meet will be parents two times over. (Whether or not you're reading this, good luck guys!!)
At least SOMEONE will be losing weight this week!
And, on that happy note, I'll see you next week.
* An interesting factoid about my growing extended family: While twins do not run in my or Seth's direct lineage, all of our cousins who have had kids have had twins. That's 4 sets now. My first cousins on both my mom's side and my dad's side, and then Seth's first cousins on his Mom's side, and now his ... kind of obscure-relationship'd cousin [mother's first cousin's daughter... Wikipedia failed me... we're going with "cousin"] also on his Mom's side.
(And we're also excited for Seth's cousin on his dad's side, even though she'll be breaking our cousin-twin-streak in a few months!)

Week 48
PJ Weight: 157.4
Week Loss: -1.0
Cumulative Loss: -34.2
Seth Weight: 178.2
Week Gain: +2.4
Cumulative Loss: -21.1
I managed to pull off a loss this week, which amazes me. I had not been very diet-minded since we got our Girl Scout Cookies. Those things are a plague and a curse.
A tasty, tasty curse.
So, given my long-standing policy of "An Open Box is an Empty Box", I'm surprised I managed to lose. But in my defense, I only ate one* and shared the rest of them.
And while I'm talking about food that falls into the not-so-good-for-you category, I offer you this picture of my brunch from the other day:
Pancakes are yummy, but are not generally diet food. Oh well. At least they were entertaining.
'Til next week then. (4 to go!)
