185.2 A Little of This and A LIttle of That!

I found the apricot colored pointsettia at our local grocery store. I had never seen one that color and had to have it! Since our house tends toward more desert colors, it is perfect.

We had a great Thanksgiving with friends and are now looking forward to ten days in Hawaii. I know, I know I will have to stay conscious and mindful of the exercise piece. My back is healing slowly. When I hurt it, I actually lost all the strength in my core muscles so the road back is slow, but my back is steadily improving so I am counting on being fine.

My new goal to to keep my weight steady throughout the next month and then I am thinking about doing something totally different to get the weight off. I did come up with a great, easy, filling breakfast. About a third of a cup of low fat cottage cheese with or without berries and Splenda and I am good to go for several hours.

Since we will be gone for the trip and then our family starts arriving around the 20th of December, I have no idea how often I'll write a post for this blog. I appreciate so much that you are still reading Susan's Losin' so continue check in now and then.

Here's the latest picture of Zuzu for those of you who know my 5 month old granddaughter!

181.2 On The Road Again

Heading back to see family on the east coast including the wee little Zuzu. Check in now and then but for sure I'll be back at it on the 15th of September. I'll be weighing everyday and watching those carbs. How can I fail?

176.4 TaDa!

Susannah Charlotte Wolfskill arrived very early this morning in excellent health! We are so excited! She was named for her dad's mom, Suzanne, and for me! And, her middle name is in honor of Jeff's mom. When I talked to Miranda a couple of hours after Zuzu (as they call her) was born it made me so happy to hear her say, "Mom, I just love her!" As one of their friends wrote, "Welcome to the world Susannah! There is so much love coming your way!" Susannah is one lucky, loved little baby already!
