End of Hot For the Holidays

I've been holding the status quo at - 3 pounds. Nothing more in the last weeks. I suppose it might have something to do with the fact that I eat out every night during the week when I'm gone for training. I'm excited about my job, but man it's thrown me off my mojo. I'm crossing my fingers for another round at Christie's to give myself a good setup come the new year.

HFH update & other going ons

It's quick for me this morning. I'm heading out of the weekend to join some of my Disney pals from Passporter for our annual Mall of America meet. We've been doing it for 6 years. We'll have some good eats, great laughs, and lots of scrapbooking happening.

Hot for the Holidays - Totally sucked this week. I'm up two pounds. sigh. I can't really complain as I was NOT well behaved at all this week. I'm trying to remember that overall I'm down 10+ pounds from last year, but that didn't help when I got on the scale this morning.

I had something I had planned on writing about and thought about it last night while laying in bed, waiting to fall asleep. But hot damn, I can't remember what it's about now. Crap.

I did see something rather disturbing in the last day or two. Something that really made me pause and wonder if true unity can ever be found in this country again. I plan to write a bit more about it, but alas...no time today.

Also, got a give a shout out to my friend Dawn. Happy Birthday my friend. I love you lots!!


Okay, see you all after the weekend!

Hot For the Holidays Week 3

Crap, I completely spaced out posting today. I'm down 1 pound...yahoo! Still sucking on the exercise.

Week 2 in Hot For the Holidays

Well, I didn't lose anything this week. But that's also good, because I didn't GAIN anything either. I'm status quo with the weight loss this week. Between Aunt Flo and the emotional eating I've been trying to stave off with stress...I thought for sure I'd be up at least a pound or two. I'm doing well with the soda intake, the water intake has been sucky this week. I'm doing well with food and healthier choices. Well, for the most part. There was a day or two where the chips & dip did reach my internal need. sigh. Back on the saddle again, quickly I did jump though.

Goal for next week: 1 pound loss

Week 1 of Hot 4 Holidays

It's week one in the Hot for the Holidays program and I lost one pound! WOOHOO! I was thinking I'd stay the same, so that one little pound I'm feeling pretty good about. I've hit my goal of increasing my water intake, limiting the soda, and not snacking so much. The exercise? Well, that I just plain suck on. I had bellydance last evening, and that's about the extent of my official exercise for the week. I really need to improve on that.

Goal next week: Continue with the more water/less soda thing and EXERCISE! I'm crossing my fingers I can stick with the 1lb a week loss too.

Hot For the Holidays

It's starting! If you are a blogger and working on losing weight, check this out! There are weekly prizes which can be a nice motivator.

My goals for Hot For the Holidays:
-Drink more water
-Snack less, and more healthy
-Exercise daily (treadmill every other day at least)

I have set a goal to lost 10 pounds in this go-round. I'm hoping for more, but wanted to set a realistic goal. I want to be a healthier person, and the journey includes weight loss.

I like to rock out on the treadmill with a heavier beat...any suggestions? I'm usually listening to Eminem, Limp Bizkit, Metallica, etc. I tried classical, but it just didn't work.
