Goals for this week
General, Journal December 22nd, 20081. Run or do some sort of exercise every day - (this will be tough b/c it’s TOM and Christmas and dark when I get home all rolled into one)
2. Stick to eating 1200-1550 calories a day - this will be tough too since it’s Christmas
3. STOP EATING CHRISTMAS COOKIES!!!
I’m trying to get myself under control. It’s time (again). I was so close to being under 200 and then I totally ruined it. I don’t know what the damage is, and I don’t want to know. I’m going to get through this week and next and then I’m going to join the weight loss group I was in back in the summer with my former neighbor. With the paycut I’m facing, I’m having to give up my gym membership. I’m coming to terms with that — IT’S OKAY!! I have taken to running better than I thought so I’ll continue with that. I do have Debbie Siebers Slim in 6, which if you do it consistantly, gives you really good toning results. AND……… since we had been in an upstairs apartment, I totally forgot I had this: DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION!!! Oh yeah, it’s time to bust out the dance pad and dance my weight away.
My goal right now is to run 3-4 days a week, and throw either the video or the DDR or BOTH in on the other days. The challenge is to carve out the time to do it.
I miss all you guys. I tried to catch up on everyone’s blog the other day, but ran out of time. We have a short work week this week (THANK GOD) and then next week NO ONE will be in the office, so I’ll be able to get my internet surfing caught up that week!!

I did the same thing. I finally clawed my way to a certain point with my weight and then immediately lost control and bounced back up probably five pounds. But I thought it was going to be more even. BUT this is not the first time I have done this. I have wiped out progress before and then just had to repeat those pounds and keep going. It is frustrating, but sometimes this can just be sort of like the whole two steps forward, one step back thing. (Or three steps back in my case!).
This is a really bad time of year to try to stick with this. So I figure if we make it through this, we are surely in for a good January.

I am new to blogging
I just read your post and can certainly relate. It’s nice to know other people out there are fighting the same fight. 
P.S. I just started doing DDR too and Wii-fit which I think will be more cost effective then the gym!

The kefta stuff is pretty easy and quick (and it only dirties two dishes which is always a good thing). The spice mixture requires a few minutes to measure and all, but it makes enough to make the recipe probably four times at least.

that’s okay, you are still here even if every week is not the best you wanted. Good to see you *out and about.* Happy Christmas! Delita
