HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

DECEMBER ALREADY! I know I've really fallen behind in my blogging so maybe I can catch up right now.

I'm down 51 pounds now and I feel really good. I am hoping that this trend continues, however because I'm starting to get hungry and find I can eat more than usual, it's time for another adjustment. I have an appt. for next week.

I guess I thought it would be drastically different for me, like a complete and total lifestyle change, and I guess it has been, but not as much as some describe. Some people say they can't eat any pasta anymore, or certain foods, because the foods don't agree with them, but I haven't found a food that didn't like me yet...or ever. :)

I do find I'm dedicated to this program, just as I have been with all other programs, but this time I really feel this will work for me. It feels too easy, at times, and other times I know I could be getting more calories, some good, some bad. Thanksgiving was good. I even treated myself to a small sliver of pumpkin pie. And I relished every single delicious taste. I went up about 2.5 pounds over that break, but mostly because I sat on my butt and really didn't DO anything! The food was secondary. However, after only three days back at work, I'm down all that, back to my minus 51 pounds. Actually, I'm halfway there, if I look at it the way I should.

My actual goal is 145, which is quite the lofty goal. However, I will be MORE than happy with 150, not that I'm changing my goal, but even now this feels good where I am, so either way.

I guess I'll have to do another post since my time has run out and here come my students! Where does my planning time go... Sigh... No wonder I have no time to eat!
