My Weight

Well starting in November with the massive influx of cookies and birthday cake and culminating this last week with sparkling cider and more cookies along the way (not to mention the cheesy potatoes, fried foods, eating out more than normal, etc.) that we did in the last two months, I managed to gain 5 pounds. I'm back to 185. And while at first I was really annoyed that I was so unrestrained in my holiday eating, I have to accept that what is done, is done.

Now that I've gotten over a cold I'm ready to get my butt back in gear. Our holiday splurge this year was a new elliptical machine, which has been so nice to have down in the basement. Now I can watch "What Not to Wear" and dream about the shopping spree I get to go on once I'm back down to my desired weight, just 25 more pounds! I'm ready to start saying "no" to treats again and "yes" to working out. So I'm excited, and hoping that once again posting my progress online will help keep me motivated.

I have found that a BEFORE picture helps with the motivational aspect of keeping on track.

5 lbs ain't bad, you aren't far off the band wagon--you go girl!
