Good day today. Cleaned up the nativity display with Anne today. Boy it came down a lot faster than it went up! Tonight the kids have their Christmas program and auction at the school. So that's where we're heading.

Breakfast
cereal with milk
Lunch
salad
yogurt
Snack
banana
spoonful of peanut butter
Supper
a few (too many) latkes with sour cream (Matt came home with the recipe, they're potatoe pancakes so we made them tonight)
**Oops, I forgot that I ate a fresh bun when the kids came home from school. Then a while after I had posted this I ate another bun.

Day 86
The dinner theater went well last night. Dinner was great, a full turkey dinner. I had mostly salads and a bit of turkey and stuffing. Stuffing is my favorite so it was the last thing on my plate. Paul reached over with his fork and took half of it. But that was a good thing, I got to eat a bit and not have too much.
The play went pretty well. It's funny how you get to know people a lot better when you practice a play with them for weeks. You see them at church each week but don't really see what they are really like. Some things you learn aren't great, like major control issues but it was really nice to see the fun, silly, real side of some people. The cast ate their supper in a separate room and we just laughed the whole time. Katie, a 16 year old in the play, said that listening to the guys that night (ages 35 - 51) was like listening to the guys in her class at school. I'm sure she was right, they sounded like a bunch of teenage boys! One more night and we'll be done.

Still Here
I'm still here. I know I was going to get on here more, at least to keep track of what I'm eating but that hasn't happened. Things are still busy and won't get much slower until after this weekend. Our church is doing a dinner theater tonight and tomorrow night and almost the whole family is in it. I am the prompter behind the scenes, Paul is "Sal" the Salvation Army Kettle guy (the Salvation Army Church has been great lending us the kettle, bells and a vest for Paul to wear), and most of the kids have a singing part. So this week has been busy practicing for that.
I hadn't weighed myself in 2 weeks but I did weigh in on Wednesday this week and was the same as 2 weeks before. I was happy to see I wasn't up after taking a break from tracking my food. And I've been doing pretty good this week too. I just really need to work on exercising. I have a treadmill sitting in the rec room in front of the tv but I just avoid getting on it. And I know that if I just started walking on it everyday it would get my weight moving down. Something to work on.

Day 79
I have definitely taken a break from blogging. And I think I needed the break. Thanks to those who left encouraging comments. I really appreciate that you are thinking of me!
My eating hasn't been too bad this last week of not posting. I have still stuck to my cereal in the morning, my usual salad for lunch and whatever we are having for supper, just a smaller portion. That smaller portion for supper is something I need to work on. But for the most part I was doing ok. I'll try to post what I'm eating everyday again because I know that's a big help for me.
Last night was the first night of "The Night Jesus Was Born". Anne and I were both amazed at the turn out. We had 63 people come through, about 50 of those were people from outside of our church. The evening had such a cozy feel to it. People could grab a cup of hot apple cider or hot chocolate and a treat and walk through looking at all the nativity scenes. We ended up with 154 nativities. Anne also made up a bit of a scavenger hunt, it was a list of about 30 nativities that people could look for while they walked around. It turned out that it was a nice ice breaker and got people talking and looking closer at some of the nativities. We had arranged some chairs into a few settings around the room so people could sit and visit too. At one point I had to go get out some more chairs because there were so many people in there at once. We are having it again today from 3:00 to 6:00 and hopefully it's as good a turn out as last night (those of you reading this that live in a big city might think 63 people wasn't a good turn out at all but when you live in a village of 170 people, plus people on surrounding farms, that's a good turn out). I forgot my camera last night but have it ready to go for today. I'll get lots of pictures to show you.
