Intro

Yesterday two sisters had a brain storm. After eating our weight in Easter chocolate we came together with a similar conclusion in an instant: "We better do something about our fat asses right NOW!" We've both struggled individually over a decade with our weight and this time we are teaming up to battle the bulge. The decision to blog about it in an open forum, instead of the Weight Watchers site is so we can be brutally honest. This is going to be one hilarious weight loss trip.

Sauerbraten

This past Saturday, my Dad turned 75th years old. The family celebrated at a wonderful little German restaurant for lunch. I did pretty good on controlling my eating and had the points for cake later. Celebration and food walk hand in hand and indulging is a given. However, I'm trying really hard during this first week back to stay on tract and not cross the line of over eating. I studied the menu ahead of time and looked up the points to my favorite dishes. I was prepared and pointed. It seemed almost all of us at the table had our eye on a German favorite, Sauerbraten! Wunderbar! Guten Appetit! The evening ended with really good laughs (which I'm convinced must earn you activity points), photo opportunities and hugs and kisses before departing. Happy with how the day ended on so many levels. Time with my family is easy and fun. We can joke with each other and always have a good time. Happy Birthday, Dad!
