well.. i hope everyone had a great holiday
we saw alot of family, and i feel like this was the busiest Christmas to date. having the baby this year definitely had something to do with that. i'm exhausted. i feel like i don't want to leave the house for a WEEK! anyway, i luckily stayed OP. i'm not expecting to lose much weight (if any at all) on Thursday's weigh in because my TOM is right around the corner, and i'm one of those who doesn't lose that week. i made up for it last time the following week, so that's encouraging.
the food and desserts were tough to be around for thanksgiving and Christmas. i went to a bunch of parties and there was a huge spread at each place. i was chomping at the bit, trying to pretend my hot tea was something on the table. i made the entire Christmas dinner last night for my fiance's family, solo. couldn't eat anything but the turkey and some green beans..grrr.
although the holidays were hard, what is even harder for me is living with someone like my fiance'. he has a super speedy metabolism and literally HAS to eat like every 2 hours, unless sleeping. he can eat WHATEVER he wants. his cholesterol is perfect, blood pressure is stellar, sugar levels are normal, and anything else you can think of is right on target.... oh and he's UNDER weight by at least 25 lbs. it's SO frustrating!! he's constantly eating delicious meals and snacks. tonight was rough...i think it was even worse than thanksgiving and Christmas--- he bought a pizza and fries from OUR FAVORITE pizzeria... i held the box steady in my lap the whole way home.. my nostrils were flaring at the scent of the delicious-ness it contained. oh yea, that was tough! didn't cheat tho. i can't wait to have a slice of that again. people have started to really comment on how much i've "slimmed down." i'm glad people are finally starting to notice. 20 lbs down...can't wait to see the same people in a month or two when i'm another 20 down.
congrats to all with your weigh ins and inches lost! very proud of everyone...especially during the season of FOOD! << or so it seems :/ good luck on weigh ins this week
