summer was a weight gain
1 week ago
trying to even out the year by losing 20 before the end of the year, haha be the shock of 2010.
How to lose 20 pounds by Christmas
It made me
woo hoo 
"yay me!"
How I did it: well, i was pretty strict, but i allowed myself to have cheat days, and did not punish myself if i had a cookie one day. I worked out pretty much 5 days a week, and just kept a really positive attitude. I lost it way before Christmas, so I need to set another goal, but I am so glad I did it! hope y'all were successful!
Lessons & tips: don't put yourself down if you don't make the goal, consider what you are doing for yourself a good thing and that even if the scale never moves, you are at least making your health better.
Resources: A workout buddy, my ipod, fitness magazines, and writing in a food journal

well, when i stepped on that little thing that so many of us fear, I had lost a few more. I am down about 13 in total! yay. I still have a month to go, but this weekend showed me that I must stick to my original plan. I could see myself going to my old eating habits! stay away, chili’s buffalo chicken salad! after I ate it, i felt so sick, like the food was not being digested properly. eww. So I went to work out, and I felt better after, so that was good. Good luck ladies and gents. This Thursday will be a temptress for all of us.
Getting stocky
12 months ago
I never had to watch anything about my weight. Lately I dont recognise myself. I am getting stocky, where I used to be sveldt and it’s been such a long time of being that way I have difficulty adjusting to a new body image.
I am not so far gone that I cant reverse things. 20 Lbs and a few sit-ups will do it.
I have posted elsewhere about giving up booze by Xmas and I reckon that alone will take care of most of the excess, then It should be a case of just toning….............wishful thinking?????

woo hoo! I started last week and i weighed myself last monday, so today I checked and have already lost 6. I know that the body loses a lot in the first week of weight loss, but I am just happy I am already a little more than a quarter done with my goal for Dec. 25th. This week I plan on being a little different with my diet. I also plan on taking at least one spinning class this week along with yoga and more strenght training.

I am currently facing some health issues, so I would like to start dropping some pounds. I figure that i now have about 68 days, that should be enough time to do it. I want to cut fast food out completely and cut the nagging temptation that comes with wanting food! I also plan on doing about 5 days of working out (yoga, spinning, weights etc.) know I can do it, just need to stop talking myself out of it!
