The end of this month has been tough guys. I'm hanging in but not counting on any loss. I'm holding steady at 168-169 this week. Christmas indulgences (including alcohol) and lack of working out. My gym has been open odd hours (not that that should be any kind of an excuse - I could do stuff here at home or outside - it's not that cold) which has messed up my schedule some.
And generally I just feel ... BLAH. This year did not go the way I'd hoped it would in a lot of ways and it's looking like a lot of the garbage that I'd hoped to be shed of will be carrying through into 2009. I'll deal, but it's disappointing.
I've also sorta, kinda given up on any more loss this year.
I know I'm going to drink champagne on NYE and that we'll have snacks and such for the ball games on NYD. Then Saturday I have a wedding and we all know what wedding food is like.
I'm going to hit the gym this evening for some cardio just to keep me from creeping back into the 170s - because if I do, I'll start cutting off body parts, I swear it!
But I told DH that this weekend, after NYD is over with - I am sweeping the fridge and the pantry again and we're getting rid of ALL junk. All of it. His, mine, whatever. It's going. I did it for so long and then he moved back in and it all came creeping back. And it's not going to happen again.

I like your excuse 
I think this might be a one pound month. Of course, the upside of that is I'll be excited if I squeeze out 2 pounds 
. I'm working on goals and plans for 2009 that will be really good for me, but without setting myself up to fail. It's a hard balance to strike. It's funny that I could nail the weight loss thing this year, but be a mess in other areas. I think one of the keys to maintaining in 2009 will be working on a number of nonweight related areas in my life. Stress, no matter where it comes from, can derail the weight and food thing for sure.
