Merry Merry Merry!

Well...It's been a marvelous week. Christmas day was glorious with family and presents and joy. I wanted to wish all a very wonderful Christmas season and a Happy New Year!!! ;)

Wow...5 more and lots to go

Well...yesterday was measuring and weighing day again. I'm down another 5 pounds! It wasn't as dramatic as the first time, but I had to remind myself that it was still good. That makes it a total of 20 pounds off in 6 weeks. Not bad, actually - for the first time in 5 years I'm seeing the scale below 300 pounds. Now we have another bunch to go... ;)

My personal trainer wants me to pick only one fat per meal this next couple of weeks. She said it was kind of mean to do during Christmas time, and she'd ignore Christmas day. I said heck yeah...I'm not even going to count it -- I didn't count Thanksgiving!

It's interesting how my stomach has shrunk and how I'm not tempted to eat a lot of candy...mostly. Making it at home is always a challenge, especially when the homemade caramel turns out soooo good. I want to buy a can of fat free condensed milk and see how it turns out. I'll let you know...

Have a good one!

Wow...it's happening!

Yesterday was the first time I've been on the scale since going with the personal trainer. My hubby teased me that I'd be 15 lbs lighter...I thought perhaps 10. He was right! I lost 15 pounds in 4 weeks!! I've never done that good. I was sooo excited! And I didn't even go home and eat chocolate...lol I did make an excellent alfredo chicken dinner, yum. Anyway...just had to share! I'm so excited! One of the things I use is Sparkpeople. I have a button on the side if you want to check it out...it's been invaluable in keeping track of what I'm eating.

Have a good one!!
