Shan you got this one too.... any min now it's over :D

Sue lets kick this thing into high gear and take our numbers into new places!!

Less snot today, definitely felling better but here's the thing. I don't have a problem resisting bad food, For me it is easy to stay on plan and eat right... For me it is the alcohol, I LOVE wine, and quality margaritas, and I cant seem to just have one or two it is always in excess. It seems there is always a reason... holiday, birthday, promotion, good haircut, fixed the cat... something there is always something. This week is my sons and my birthday so again after being good all week there will be a reason to screw it up with cocktails... :dizzy: Realizing that there will always be something has brought me to the conclusion that I just must refrain. I am spinning my wheels and its frustrating... My clothes are fitting better and better so I know I am losing weight but the damn carbs from drinks keep my scale number up not to mention ARE NOT HEALTHY and I really want to do this as a lifestyle change not just a solution to the weight issue. So not as a resolution (because those never stick) but as a promise to myself.... No more celebrating with drinks. I have such a great food will power that this will be amazing once I get out of this rut. Last night I emptied my home of alcohol and am ready to get this last 50 lbs off. Any way thanks for letting me rant, sorry to be so long winded but I had to verbalize it to make myself accountable.

Jessie - Good for you!! In one of Atkins old books he writes that alcohol is the number one problem in weight control for many of his patients. He says because of our society it is harder to turn down a drink than dessert even if we like dessert more! Good for you for making the promise to yourself!! YOU are worth it!!! Way to ROCK the New Year!! Lulu NH

Jesse: Good for you, mine is V.Martini's, LOVE LOVE love them..with lots of olives...This little weight lost from July and Aug. down from 200 + is due to me giving up the Martini's...I have only had a few glasses of wine over these past 5 months...But I have done this before and I sure do hope this time is the final.
Have a wonderful safe week-end...

Jessie.. you are being so good to yourself! You amaze me! Thank you for reminding me of the courage to say "NO" to those things that tempt us. YOU GO GIRL! :) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY (which day??) to you and your son!

SHAN.. :woohoo: by the time you post I bet you won! SHAZAM! you are doing Great!

I am shedding water again and don't feel so quishy (sticking finger into skin and it keeps the dent is NOT GOOD!) 5 mile walk last night and does this body good!

Thanks ladies... The face book group really helps, they are so no nonsense and have so many amazing recipes. It is really encouraging and supportive!!!

Shan.... It's yours, .1 really??? Uugghhhhhhhhhhh LOL

Thanks Sue, I have a picture of me in my head this summer and will not be deterred.... Not to mention I really have come to understand sugar, flour and processed food as poison to my body....

Back to work today. Hope everyone is doing well.

Shan.. you are giving the rest of us time to beat you at this challenge! :lol: and yes... less sleep does do that to the body (inflammation)...

Jessie.. I like that idea of having a goal picture in our minds. It helps deter us when our little voice is tempting us :).. I think I will find an old picture (tho I was is so few) or find an image somewhere of what I can become. and the other goals I would like (payoff 1 cc this year... save some money and STOP SPENDING money on stuff I don't need.. just want!)

I am finally in the negative! WOO Hoo! I have my blinders on for the teens! Was only there a month ago.. I know what it feels like!
