Actually, other than the work lunch, no one has mentioned Xmas yet - well, the orphan's dinner (all those folks who moved here from elsewhere) which has been happening with friends now for 30 years. That's always xmas day.

Funny you should mention Cinnabon. The woman who developed their deadly cinnamon roll had a restaurant north of here that was a very popular bicycling destination and many of us would eat the cinnamon rolls. She sold the restaurant and then apparently went on to create the cinnabon roll. I do forget how many calories and fat grams on in those things. A one way up and back to the restaurant was 26 miles or so and the loop was about 37 miles. So maybe the roll was acceptable and not knowing its values made it safer (G)
Lesanne said:
This is so true. My leader set her goal at the top, and did not go under it. She is always on probation or something because she is a pound or two over when any holiday hits, or other stuff, like when the cinnabon opened their first place here and her husband found it.

Thanks - well, it really does help to be a bit below goal which is probably why some of us set our goal at the TOP of the WW range. A group of us here have realized that there is not such thing a ONE STEADY WEIGHT. There are normal variations based on how much "bulk" you have left over from the day before's foods, water retention due to exercise or salt or women's period, etc. So up and down from week to week is something that just will happen. Anyone who can stay exactly the same week to week is not normal. So below goal is really the only way to actually be AT GOAL and Maintain LIFETIME.

Sorry about the gain but it wasn't much considering Thanksgiving was in there!!! I have to say I can't wait until the day a 1.4 pound gain still keeps me under goal!! Way to stay below your goal-- you're doing a great job!!!

Well, I've never had one either - at Cinnabon. Once I read the article about them even though I was not on WW or even watching, I decided that they were completely UNhealthy and that while I ate all kinds of other [censored], that was not going to be added to the list.
Now I have had cinnamon rolls on occasion altho, possibly not since starting WW. And I may again, but not the SINabon ones (G)

Ya know, not much has been mentioned here either. I finally tackled the family today to get plans nailed down - need to know what direction I am moving mom in. So Christmas Eve will be at my oldest girls home (pizza and mosticolli), Christmas breakfast at my house, and Christmas dinner at MIL's house. I do think it will all be easily survivable though. I am expecting some damage is already done, just from this last weeks craziness. And my youngest girl already has next weekend pinned down for fudge and cookie making. Just when I thought I had been able to keep the stuff out of the house. Oh well .........
