WEEK 5 -- DAY 33 -- Food Shopping For Super Bowl Sunday!!

This week I'm definitely going to have to make a change in my weigh-in day. There's no way I'm weighing myself the day after Super Bowl Sunday. My son called yesterday and said he would be coming home with his girlfriend to watch the Super Bowl with us. So, as any good mother would do, I spent the day shopping for all sorts of things he would like to eat that day. It's been years since my husband and I have had anyone here with us watching the game. My son was either in college or out of the country on this famous Sunday. My daughter was usually at a party somewhere else so it's exciting for us to actually be having a real Super Bowl party.

I can't even tell you how much restraint I had to muster after I got home from food shopping. We have an Amish Farmer's Market close to my home and I love to buy their bagel chips and some of the different spreads/dips they have all made out of cheeses from their farms. Usually, I would come home from the market and sit down and eat the chips with one of the spreads and I'd finish the entire thing. Today it went right in the refrigerator waiting for Sunday. This is a picture of a typical Pennsylvania Dutch Market although it's not my exact market.

One thing I know for sure......I will not be on any plan or any diet on Sunday. That's my reward for having lost 9.5 pounds in January. So which day will I weigh myself? You'll have to check back to find out.
