Thank goodness the holidays are almost over! I've been enjoying myself immensely seeing family but it has been so hard to decline food being pushed at you and well meaning relatives. Not been exercising AGAIN because I am sick again with another cold it seems. Fortunately this one is much more mild than the last one I had two weeks ago, no fever and no sweats/chills along with shakes. But I am just TIRED! I should be fine though for when it's time to go back to work so no missed days fortunately.

LET'S GET BACK TO WORK PEOPLE!

I'll second that. I love the holidays as much as anyone, but I'm really sick of being surrounded by Christmas cookies 24 hours a day. Before my lifestyle change, I never really considered how incredibly ridiculous it is that we kill ourselves baking hundreds and hundreds of cookies each year. Seriously, why do we need so many cookies?!

Angie is having her BEFORE YOU PARTY party tomorrow night. I have to work at least a half day so I want to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR and a safe celebration tonight just in case she makes me clean "my" bathroom after work before the party.

You gals are the best! May all your dreams come true in 2009!

Yep, those darn cookies have wreaking havoc on my best laid plans. They are almost gone, and if not gone by the weekend, they are going in the trash. Hopefully the kids will eat them. I was on plan yesterday, except for a workout. Went up .6 today. Seriously, do I have to bust my butt every single day?

See ya tom.

Have a great New Year's and be safe!!

Happy New Year's Everyone!!

Happy New Year!
It's officially been a year since I started my diet/lifestyle change/whatever you want to call it-- and I have lost a total of 21.8lbs. This has been the SLOWEST weight loss I've ever had... but I'm STOKED that I've stuck with it!

I have a new drive for success as I head into 2009 and the St. Patrick's Day Season (yeah, it's 3 months away, but.. in Irish Dance time, that's only 9-12 classes to get down 4 brand new choreographies!)

Here's pulling for a better 2009!

AWESOME KAT

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I think it is time to sack this Santa's bag....I will get a new 5 pound loss thread soon.
