This has been a week of gingerbread houses and yummy goodies. How did I lose weight? I ate pizza, and I even had a 13 point Taco Bell 7-layer burrito for lunch yesterday!
This has also been a horrible week of tragic loss, and I am an emotional eater. I think that's where the burrito came in. BUT I tracked that burrito! And I tracked every little goodie that went into my mouth. Well... except for the bits of licorice I kept picking off of the gingerbread house. Hahaha. Anyway, I worked around it and made my little indulgences fit in. I didn't exercise like crazy, but I did fit in 3 or 4 days on the elliptical. I am pleased!
And now Christmas is coming. I am so worried. We will be in California for a week from Christmas Eve to New Year's Eve, smack dab in the middle of my last two weeks for this month. I need to lose 2.8 pounds in the next two weeks in order to reach my 2nd month goal of a 10 pound weight loss. How will I do it? I know we will be eating out. And eating yummy food at parties. I have to stay in control! I checked the hotel's website, and they do have an elliptical. If I completely lose my mind, I might exercise a few days while we are there. But then we do have some very active days planned, like going to the zoo. That's a lotta walking. I tell you what - I will be happy if I just maintain my current weight while we're there. But then when we get back I only have 3 days until my weigh in. And if I don't meet the 10 pound goal, I will be behind. And then I will have to lose more than 5 pounds in the next month! See how I'm working myself into a frenzy here? Ugg. I'd ask you to pray for me, but it hardly seems appropriate.

You're doing it, is right! I reached my goal toady that I have had for 2 years - now I have to lose more. Tracking, exercising, all helps you stay true! Congratulations!
you are doing SO GOOD!!! i'm jealous.
you will do great on your trip. even if you don't lose your scheduled amount this month, it's not like you have to lose next month to make up for it. you can spread it out over the remaining months to make up for it. think of it like that and it's not so bad.
but i don't think you'll have to worry about it - you are on a roll!
