I'm linking up @ A Homemaker's Heart   I'm a day behind, but that is no big surprise!  I've been busy at work and at home.  I skipped my WW meeting AGAIN!  I know, I know.  I'll be back this Saturday. However, that doesn't mean that I haven't been following the plan. WHAT WENT WELL THIS WEEK: I have stayed on track every day - even through two birthday parties! WHAT DID NOT GO SO WELL THIS WEEK: Still drinking too much diet pop and not enough water. BEST MEAL/RECIPE: I made a low WW point cornbread recipe and it was really good! RECIPE I WANT TO TRY: Nothing in particular, but I am looking for some good fall and winter soups to try! MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
