Weight Watchers Party

 This past weekend my sister in law and I threw my mother in law a surprise party.  She has been doing Weight Watchers for a year now.  She has lost 54 pounds!! :) She has met her lifetime goal.  So, we thought a congrats were in order.

Our invitations read:

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, Time Really Flies!!

A Weight Loss Party is planned

and you're invited to go,

but don't tell the Guest of Honor,

‘cause she doesn't know!

52 weeks, and 54 lbs dropped,

Let’s give a big applause!

Without such great help, it would have flopped.

Just bring yourselves and an appetite,

Several yummy recipes will be served.

everyone anxiously awaiting her arrival.....

So to get on with the story of the day.  Mrs Peggy went shopping with the preachers wife, Mrs Paula.  Mrs. Paula did a great job keeping everything a secret and keeping her occupied.  When the two of them walked in the door, and hit the living room, everyone yelled "SurPrise!" She looked totally confused.... She said 100 things started running through my head..." did I miss our anniversary? no, that's april, it's not my birthday.... O NO this is a Surprise party for Mrs. Paula!!" she said so i stepped out of the way, well, then one of the boys explained to her that it was a "congratulations for hitting your lifetime WW goal!" 

We fixed Spaghetti... nothing special, just prego spaghetti sauce (or some other brand), Diet Coke BBQ Chicken ( http://livingachangedlife.blogspot.com/2010/07/diet-coke-chicken.html ), and Mini  Meat Loaf Muffins( http://livingachangedlife.blogspot.com/2009/10/meatloaf-muffins.html ) for the "main course".  Green beans and sweet carrots for the veggies, and WW strawberry pie and a Vanilla pudding cake crumble for dessert... sorry i didn't take pictures of the food.

putting on the weight

We played a game. We put the 54 pounds that Mrs Peggy had lost in a back pack.  If anyone said "I can't" or "I don't like" they had to wear the back pack for 10 min. or until someone else said it.  It was a lot of fun, but it also put into perspective how much 54 pounds actually is, and how much strain it does put on your body.
