The holiday is .... OVER...!!!

Monday, December 28th 2009

This is a sentence I am going to have to continually repeat to myself over the next few days as I continue to be tempted to let myself have this or that treat "in the spirit of the holidays"

I won't lie... I didn't do very well calorie-wise AT ALL christmas day or boxing day... but I'm ok with that. I logged EVERYTHING. My calories were about double what they are on a normal weight loss day... but I refused to let myself feel bad.

BUT... I also refuse to let myself continue...

You have to want it bad enough...

Friday, December 18th 2009

It's somewhat ironic that my husband and I happened to be out for dinner when the conversation came up, but anyway - here it is.

My husband has a friend that he goes to school with who, with his wife, often spends time with us especially for parties and celebrations which are school related.

They are a lovely couple - I enjoy spending time with them... except when they bicker.

And the worst of it - they bicker because of her weight.

This is how a typical evening with them tur...

:y: I don...

I'm going to DO this!!

Tuesday, December 15th 2009

So I've been hovering the past couple weeks right around 203/202. It has been my biggest goal since starting to lose weight (this time) to get under 200... and by Christmas.

I am seriously kicking myself in the butt because, by god, I'm GOING TO GET THERE by next Friday! Two pounds in 10 days is totally doable, and I AM going to do it.

I know I've been hovering because I haven't been staying as on track as I should be with my calorie counting and haven't been putting in enough gym ti...

A great reminder that it's a DAILY battle...

Sunday, December 13th 2009

I threw a party last night - and without going into all the details I put into a thread this morning - I binged for the first time since joining CK this morning.

I felt crappy and was beating myself up about it BIG TIME.

Then I went to they gym and got rid of a bunch of the negative energy on the elliptical. Talking it out with a few friends and CK definitely helped.

But I have to say... 2 very selfish things also contributed to me picking myself up and dusting off.

1) I too...
