magically, i weighed in at 156 today. after a week of chips, beer, and no exercise followed by a week of watching what i eat (i had no pie whatsoever people. NO PIE! ON THANKSGIVING! isn't that illegal?) and no exercise, i'm up 1 pound from 2 weeks ago, but down 2 pounds overall...sounds good to me.
i'm off to a bad start on the exercise front, but tomorrow morning, i'm meeting my new trainer. MH. we made a deal, i help him with grocery shopping and his diet, and i give him permission to torture me at the gym twice a week. i get to nag, he gets to watch me sweat. fair deal.
and something that motivated me today: i was talking with a guest who just came in from a run. he's getting his ass back into shape for his annual physical for the air force. when he told me he was trying to lose weight i said, "but losing weight during the holidays is the hardest!" and he said, "but if you can do it now, you can do it any time." pretty smart. if you can lose weight during the holidays, when overindulgence is at its peak during the year, you're basically the badass of weight losers. and i always want to be the badass of something!
plus we'll all have a head start on all those people trying to fit into bikinis come june. shit by february, our valentines will be very happy we turned down all those desserts.

For some reason, November-March is my easiest time to lose weight. If I blimp out, it's always in July and August.
Here's to your badass self!
Ohhhhhh but you already ARE badass!! ;-)
That sounds like a good compromise with MH.
I thought you already were a badass of a lot of stuff!??!!?!?!
Sounds like a pretty awesome deal you made ... good luck with the new trainer!
No pie?!?!?!? *faints*
But hey girl, the weightloss is going well! Nice!
So true about being ahead of the game if you can lose weight in this calorie-dense month ahead. I'm breaking even, which I'm counting as a plus.
No pie on Thanksgiving IS illegal......at least in Texas :-)
I like that thinking. I have GOT to kick it into gear. Things are getting downright pathetic over here :(
What amazes me most (if I haven't commented this already) is that you've been able to start a fitness and weight loss plan in mid-November. And be successful. I'm a scale-hater, but I can imagine that my post-Thanksgiving sluggishness has far more to do with the more-than-several pounds I lumped on than energy levels. So, good for you! I admire your discipline and ability to still enjoy yourself.
