It is the weekend before Thanksgiving — how time flies. I know it may seem like inopportune timing, but I have decided to go on a diet. Signed up for weight watchers online (so I don’t have to go to meetings — I really don’t need one more thing to squeeze into my schedule) on Monday and I have already lost 3.5 lbs! I am off and running now. When I was on South Beach Diet a few months ago, I only lost 1 lb. the first miserable week; needless to say that diet did not last beyond the first week. Why be starving with no reward?

This is my first weekend on weight watchers so it is going to be challenging. Larry and I are going to date night tonight so I am going to try to steer him toward a restaurant where I can be good and get a big salad or a piece of fish. I’m not so worried about Thanksgiving because I don’t usually eat much that day anyway. Turkey does not really appeal to me for some reason. Stuffing, on the other hand, is another story…

If any of you have any tips for me send them in! I will share them all.

And by the way, the “dinner” line in my momAgenda is very helpful for dieting! Meal planning takes the impulse out of eating. When I am trying to lose weight I always like to plan my meals so I don’t end up gorging on chinese takeout. Or mexican… but I digress.

We are sending out a newsletter to subscribers/past customers in the next week, and it is going to offer a great discount, so don’t delete it! That way you can get a discount on all your momAgenda holiday shopping!

Finally, an amazing website reviewed us (positively, I am happy to report). Check it out on www.classymommy.com. This is a fun site for moms run by Colleen Paddilla. She has this awesome affiliate program through which she donates money to charity. So check that out too for your holiday shopping!

Have a great weekend all!
