oh i'd love to join this discussion. I have not hardly started my christmas shopping yet. the only real shopping i've gotten done is my boyfriends because i bought alot of his stuff online or on ebay. I am doing my kids shopping this weekend. I prefer doing mine the week of christmas because i am in such a great christmas spirit then.
As for the weight loss....i am really just getting started. I am trying with the holidays to figure out my gym nights. they just seem to keep changing from week to week and day to day. and food....i haven't had time yet to really figure that one out. i'm home half the week and at my boyfriends the other half. but after christmas, i promise myself i am going to start walking at work again on my lunch break (i'm finally going to get a new mp3 player so i can listen to music while i walk) and go 3 if not 4 nights a week to the gym for an hour. i may even splurge in feb. when i get my income taxes and hire a trainer for a month or so. I really want to look good by summer. I am thrilled with the weight i have lost, but i have much more to go. and i definately want my boyfriend to feel he is getting his moneys worth out of the gym membership he is getting me for "ONLY" 6 months. but maybe if i show good results, if i still need it, he'll keep paying for it. we'll see.
