Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!

Well, this week was the biggest eating holiday of the year! Thanksgiving! My favorite. I like all the food and family and fun... but I've decided not in that order. The family for me is what really makes this a great holiday. This year we didn't get to spend Thanksgiving with our family, but we were adopted for the day by a family in Woodville, TX. They sure were nice folks and the food was delicious. We did miss having our own family there though. It's just not quite the same. We decided to do a little experiment for the day though. We weighed in on Thursday morning and wrote the weight down. Then we didn't count points that day or Friday. On Saturday morning we weighed in again expecting to see some negative results from our holiday feast. We were surprised to see that we both had lost weight!! We noticed that during the day, even though we wanted to eat copious amounts of food, we were unable to eat a whole lot. Our stomachs have shrunk. We still got to enjoy our favorite things, but we couldn't keep consuming calories on top of calories.

So far our progress is going well. We've decided to keep writing down what we are eating and we'll keep weighing in weekly, but we're not going to post our numbers. "Why?" you say. Because we want our families to be extra surprised when we go home for Christmas. So, after we do our midway reveal to the family we'll post a big 'ol update here (probably a graph and pictures and everything). Don't worry, we're still going to be eating healthy and counting the points daily in the meantime. We're only blacking out our scale numbers. It'll be fun.

Cheers,
Jack and Lindsey
