Phew!

What a crazy few days!! We had 18 people over for Christmas dinner this year! It was nice to see everyone, but I am so glad to have the house back! ;-)

I decided not to count my points over the past few days. Partially laziness and partially to give myself a break. Back on track today though. Drinking my water and tracking everything!

I actually stopped counting my points on Friday (21st) and weighed in on Sunday morning. I was still down a pound this week! That brings me to 10.4 lbs now! I am so excited!

Last night I took the dog out for a walk and am looking forward to doing that again tonight. He is so funny when he goes for walks! He gets so excited and has to pee on absolutely EVERYTHING! When we get close to home I let him off his leash and he takes off for the front door. When he gets back in the house he runs around like a puppy again! Even a short walk gets him excited! Definitely helps to keep me motivated to take him for walks. The entertainment value alone is worth it for me!

Most tempting time of the year!

Why is it that people who know you're doing the Weight Watchers plan still give you chocolates/candies, etc. for a gift?!? It drives me nuts!

Sorry...had to get that out.

So, I came into work this morning and my supervisor, the one who is usually cranky and a little two-faced, has bought me a nice fragrant oil set from The Body Shop. You pour the oil into this little ring and place it on a light bulb. It smells heavenly! Does this mean I should be getting her something? Oops!

Actually I realized that I was supposed to bring a few things in today that I completely forgot about!

Definitely some blonde tendencies here! ;-)

My first post

Here it is...my very first blog! I always swore that I wouldn't use one of these, but it seems to be helping a lot of the ladies on the same journey, so I figure I'll give it a try.

I have been back at Weight Watchers (online this time) for 3 1/2 weeks. I'm down 8.5 lbs, which is a pretty decent start. My overall goal is to be down a total of 60 lbs before my trip to Vegas in July 08, and to lose a little bit more after that (another 15-20).

My journey upwards started right after high school, but got much worse when I was in a bad relationship for 3 years. Even in the year since we've split I've continued my upward spiral. Now its time to find me again! I can't wait!

With the holidays around the corner I've been trying to bake several WW recipies and so far so good! They're actually yummy!

Thanks for the support ladies! It means the world to me!
