Hey everyone! I will check in tomorrow or the day after... post my progress.... things have just been CRAZY lately... Wanted to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Ooooookay okay okay! I'm back.. Still haven't been able to catch up on everyones diary's (my mother is in town..and frankly just haven't had time to read anyones...including my own!) The past couple of days have had their shares of ups and downs when it comes to my eating habits. Christmas is such a hard time! The other night we went out for our final bout of christmas shopping and we decided to have some chinese... ugh... I don't think I'll ever eat General Tso again. It was GROOOOOOOOSS. Nasty nasty. And it all was just too greasy. I've had chinese in the past month and it never hit me this hard. I mean... it was just plain awful. Again. Felt sick.. Its easy to remember that you can't eat certain things anymore because of how bad they make you feel (as well as how bad for your body they are)....but it's even harder actually being mindful and stopping when you're ahead. The following day, I squeezed an exercise in and it was good...really good actually. but didn't quite calorie count like should of towards the end. Christmas sweets kick my butt I tell ya. But today, today was a whole nother story. I had gingersnaps (like 4 of em this morning) but had a pretty good breakfast! The kids had a WONDERFUL time on Christmas morning! We actually ended up skipping lunch. I was up REALLY late last night. I mean 1:30am late. Then we got up at 3:30 to put the gifts out (more gingersnaps left out for Santa...and some chocolate silk ;)) then we were up at 6:30 with the kids.... I had a nap today when it was lunch time... hence the no lunch time. Dinner though, I felt like I over did it a bit... MTM&K doesn't think so (she made a REALLLLLLY AWESOME Christmas Bird... all white meat, turkey breast, garlic & Herb Ms Dash.... plump and juicy! IT was heavenly! Had some chocolate mousse made from fat/surgar free ingredients and you have a wonderful evening.... I have to go now...because it's work out time in the morning! Woot! Back to the grind. but I'm off all week..so I'll be here to check everyones diary's in the morning! Have a great evening and I hoep everyones Christmas was special! I feel bad that I haven't visited anyone's diary.... promise it'll be this week! Later!
 
Just passing through catching up (back from holiday)

Wow nice xmas. We had lamb steak on the BBQ lol. But i also went for the mousse, but mine wasnt fat or sugar free - lucky i only had a little bit lol.
I reckon you probably had a bit more self restraint!
 
*Tapping microphone* Hellooo...is this thing on?

Soooooo I'm off this week. It's been a great week so far! Ups and downs...keeps things fresh! I've been having the normal Holiday snitches here and there... Not TOO bad... I have been counting my calories on a daily basis...but when it gets into dinner (like for Christmas), I lost count of my serving sizes (I ate lighter in the day). So I've been exercising..skipped Christmas day.... Back on the horse. But I went to bed at 11 last night. Getting up at 4:50 was MURDER! I tell ya...I barely could get my feet off the ground during the cardio portion of my exercise. Sorry if this is so disjointed btw...I'm making breakfast at the same time. I'm just tired of this weight...working my tail off to get it down... I actually wanted to be down to 219 by New Years but I don't think I'll make it unfortunately (hovering around 225.5/225 for the past few days.... kinda sucks but is awesome in the same vein!) I need to go finish making breakfast but...hopefully I will be able to keep up with everyone! Have a great day!

Well... before dinner, I had weighed (out of pure curiosity) and I was at 225.5... suprising! We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Hello all.... thanks for all the posts! I'm feelin a bit blah..not TOO bad..but blah enough. Today went' alright. Had a good work out in the morning, and a nice light breakfast, and an even lighter lunch (salsa/turkey burger on a piece of toast). And then the mail came and WOOHOOO my dvd's I ordered arrived! I got the the 1 and 2nd volume of the Biggest Loser workout dvd's. I'm going to let Maya have a rest tomorrow and do these! I'm so stoked! The DVD's are actually customizable almost as much as the Yourself Fitness! I'm so excited. I fast forwarded through the workout just to see what it's all about and I'm gonna have my butt KICKED in the morning...w00t!

Then comes dinner.... like a bat outta hell! We've received more Outback Steakhouse giftcards this year than any other...being that it's the nicest restaurant in town (next to the "shoppee's" ((I hate it when people put "ee" at the end of their namess)) in the European villiage). Anyway, I had about 900 calories I needed by the end of the day to make my quota... and I think I went a tad bit overboard! I had the "Mad Max Burger" and it had it all, cheese, bacon, etc. and fries. Just like I had the other day with the chinese, I think I'm done with Outback. I am having a ton of water, and plan on gazelling alot tomorrow. maybe even *gasp* 2 HOURS!!!! We'll see. I need to go to bed. 4:50 is approaching (isn't it always?!?!) I'll try to get ahold of everyones diary's tomorrow! Have a great night all!
