A Christmas Miracle

I am down another pound. 168 today! Wohoo! I did not make my goal of 167 by today but hey, close enough for me. Hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Holidays!

Ranting

So.. I have shown unbelievable restraint and not eaten all the holiday goodness that surrounds me every day. I have been very strict, counting calories, and staying on track 100%. I get on the scale today and what do I see....170 lbs. What the hell?! I should have just eaten all those cookies I wanted.

Now to the rational part... I know that I am not really gaining weight and that I must of had a lot of salt or some other strange thing. I know the weight will drop again but it still makes me angry. I wanted that 167 bad and I am not getting it. Boo... o well. Maybe tomorrow the scale will show me something better.

I am...

A brunette again.

My band is being fickle and other news.

My band has so tight for the past few weeks. I am not sure if it is too tight or just right but I am finding myself really having to eat slowly and softer mushier foods work best. I am going to see how it goes during the holidays and if it is still problematic, I may get a small unfill. I have no issues with liquids and most soups are fine too. So really.. I am sure I could just ride it out. I just feel really limited right now. Maybe that is my Christmas blessing.

The scale continues to slowly move downwards I did see 168.6 at one point but it didn't seem to stick. I am still hoping to get to 167 by Thursday. We will see if that happens.

I wanted to attach the most fantastic soup recipe I have ever made. It is so tasty and hearty and a good source of protein. Click here for the Cheeseburger Soup of my dreams. I make is with organic 4% fat ground beef.

Hope you are all well!

90 Down + some

I am finally down 90lbs! (90.8 lbs actually). Wohoo!

170.2 lbs this morning...

I am making progress. Only 1.2 lbs to make my reasonable goal and 3.2 lbs to make my "pushing it" goal. In the next 7 days I would like to get to 167lbs. That may be a stretch but I will be happy with any loss! I am also only .2 lbs away from the 90 lbs down mark that I have been chasing for forever! Hopefully by tomorrow I should see it!

11 Freak'n Days Til Christmas!!

Holy Hannah! First off.. I am a total grinch. I hate Christmas. To me it is just over spending, over eating, over guilting, ect. But, I do have a big chunk of vacation coming up around that time.. so I am excited for that.

However, my goal is to get to at least 169, ideally 167 by Christmas. As of this morning I was 171.4. I better get my ass in gear. Tomorrow is my departments holiday party, and next Monday is our all staff party. I need to stear clear of all the yumness if I am going to make this happen.

I plan to eat whatever I feel like eating at our family Christams get togethers (which probably won't be that much). Anywho... Happy 11 days til Christmas.
