lose 30 lbs and keep it off

After two full days of turkey, sweet potato pie, yams, cranberries, stuffing and such between friends and family, I plunked myself on the bathroom scale this morning and weighed myself.

145 lbs. This is THE most I have EVER weighed!

I’d give myself the excuse of wearing a housecoat when weighing, but that doesn’t seem to help matters. The fact is that I’ve been very bad the last few weeks. Having lived by the credo “Friends don’t let friends drink Starbucks” for many, many years, I’ve been sucked back into the evil coffee empire by my cravings for their cinnamon spice mochas. That, and I’ve been doing Starbucks runs for some of the other girls in the office, due to the convenience of the location, as well as my recent boredom for the mom-and-pop place down the street from where I work. Which increases the temptation all the more.

Anyway, I had been yinging and yanging in 7 lb pergatory for a while. I figured -hey! I lost a few yesterday. What’s a mocha gonna hurt? Because it used to be that I could get away with stuff like that. One mocha, some potato chips, a bag of fries and nothing would happen.

Well, it's turning out to hurt quite a bit these days.

And I also put in this 43 things.com entry when I weighed 10 lbs less than I do now.

This SUCKS!
