Oh to be just overweight!

I have pretty much gotten over the strep throat and the “cold” that followed.  Now I have to get back on track.  I have been good about my food, except for my planned cheat meal.  The exercise was, however, a challenge while I was sick.  Now I got my new DVD and tonight I will gove it a try.  Results will be posted.  So, my weight has been level for the last week or so, but no big deal.  At least I didn’t do anything too stupid and throw myself off course.  I am hoping for a 2-3 pound loss before Monday, so I can go into Christmas week with confidence that I can maintain the 10 pound loss through the rest of the month.  I know that seems like a lot, but I know it’s do-able since I’ve been stalled out for a week.  I will be traveling with my exercise DVD and begging my hubby to help me stay on track.  1.6 pounds ’til I’m completely in the 180’s (189.0).  It’s not too much to ask, is it?
