Star - I HAVE to come on here in the morning. It gets me going and serves as a reminder that I'm not allowed to just sit and eat brownies all day. Probably what I did wrong this weekend

Chlorinated - I don't know if I actually do look toner, but I always FEEL better, and that's what matters

I just had this AMAZING tomato basil soup from Whole Foods - its like 110 calories a cup and it was just so good.

Sigh. 184.6. And that was after working out for 2 hours yesterday.

It could have been a lot worse.

One downfall of running at the gym? There are treadmills right next to you that anyone can choose to get on... case in point? I've got 10mins left of my run yesterday and this guy hops on the one next to me. No biggie, right? Except he has enough cologne on to share with every other guy in the gym at the moment!! Yipes! I had to psych myself into continuing to run while breathing in the fumes. Ended my workout early because I couldn't breathe anymore! I asked the gym staff and they said they can't say anything to him. So next time I'll say something... grrr That's my complaint of the day.

So how is everyone doing this Christmas week?! I baked cookies last night AND iced them... didn't have even one taste! Hooray!! Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I have a non-digital scale (not sure what the technical name is) so I never get the .1, .5, etc readings. It really wanted to say 180 this morning, but it wouldn't get on the line, so I'm prolly like 180.5 or 7 or something. Anyhow, I am going to eat really well today and do another run and hope for a 179 tomorrow morning... I can dream, can't I?

Ugh, I hate that. You're at the gym, not a bar trying to pick up women.

I had catfish, chicken nuggets, a brownie batter blizzard and key lime sorbet, so of course, I gained 3 pounds. But I'm still determined to get there by NYE!

184.4

I'm going to be foolishly optimistic and say the reason it didn't go down more was the sodium content of the chicken wings. Please, let me dillude myself

stella - Wings can be full of sodium! (right? )

I am feeling really good today, despite the fact that I have to work tomorrow. It really feels like a Friday to me, but it's ok since Christmas is Friday!! haha I get to do some gift shopping today after work for the last few things... Then gift wrapping tonight and tomorrow night. I've moved my running around this week so instead of Tues, Thurs, Fri (the gym is closed Christmas day), I went Mon, Tues, and I'll be going tomorrow when I get off work.
How are you all keeping to your work-outs this week?? Hopefully well.

I stayed at 184.4. Oh well.

Yay Star

Hey everyone!! Sorry I have been absent lately, but I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday!! I gained 0.4 this week, but that's better than thanksgiving week was!! Don't get frustrated ladies, we're almost there!!!

Well, I didn't keep my hand out of the cookie jar so to speak, but I did get lower than 175 and I have reached my goal of 172 - the halfway point. I now have 49.8lbs to go until goal!

Thanks for keeping me motivated ladies! (Even though I was quiet I was lurking lol)

SW: 207.9
CW: 195.4

I'm pretty sure I'm going to reach my goal by new years! I'm super excited =D
