it's a Christmas miracle

Okay, so I'm doing something unheard of around here...reporting my weight on a TUESDAY!! {gasp}

I didn't post on Friday because there wasn't much to say - I maintained from the previous week at 142.4 pounds (or was it 142.6 - I can't remember now). Following that weigh-in was a day of Christmas at my Mom & Dad's followed by 2 days of Christmas at Les' parents' place.

So that's 3 - count 'em, THREE - days in a row of Christmas celebrations.

So on Monday morning I was terrified to step on the scale. Mondays are always bad anyway, no matter the time of year. But after a weekend of Christmas-ing? It was bound to be a bad number. I was expecting to see something around the 145 pound mark.

But the number that stared back at me was 141 pounds even.

!!!!!!

Uh...say what? I even stepped on it again in case I was hallucinating. But nope, the number was the same. And this morning it also showed that same number - 141 pounds.

Phew! While I have no idea how that happened, I sure am glad that it did. With a few days of eating out coming right up ahead this week while we go on a mini family holiday, this gives me a bit of extra padding. :)
