Well.....

Looks like our board is as busy as ever...lol!! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! It's time to put away the eating habits of the holidays and get back to the basics. I did fairly well over the holidays. I did over indulge in a few too many peanut butter crackers dipped in chocolate.... FOr the most part, I managed to stick with meat, cheeses and veggies and maintained my weight, which is a good thing!! Now, back to business. I am determined to be at/below my goal weight by my surgiversary. My sig says 140 but my real personal goal is 135. I bought my first ever single digit pair of pants over the holidays, a size 8!! I thought I would never get there!! I plan to get ack into a regular exercise routine this week and start back on protein shakes for breakfast. I had got in the habit of eggs and bacon for breakfast. I must break this cycle...lol!! I do much better when I have a shake for breakfast, I get more protein in my day that way and less calories!!! It's a win, win. Hope you all have a Happy New Year!!

I am with you. I rode the emotional eating roller coaster this past week or 2 and now is time to get off the ride! I started with my protein shake for breakfast, brought 2 protein bars for snacks, and a Lean Cuisine for lunch. That right there is already an improvement for me. HaHa. I need to get serious about my weight loss. I thought that I would have lost more weight by now. I'm off by about 10 pounds. But I had set a high goal. Today is a new day, and I'm ready! I don't beleive in New Year's resolutions. They are doomed to fail. But I do believe in lifestyle changes and that is what I am currently working on. I hope everybody has a good holiday week.
