Still Going Down

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to New Year's!

This morning I decided to step on my scale and was delighted to learn that my weight is still going down even with all the holiday celebrations and goodies. My weight today is 174.5, which is down another three pounds since my last weigh-in.

The other good news to share is that I'm now officially wearing my size 10 jeans.

I'm doing the happy dance... again... !

How are you doing with your goals? The holidays can be tough for those trying to maintain or lose weight so don't get discouraged... just keep your goals in mind every time you lift some food to your mouth!

Happy New Year!

Another Great Milestone

The holidays are upon us and, already, the goodies are making their way into my home no matter how diligently I keep watch over the front door. The latest entry was home baked persimmon fruit cake. I have a Persimmon tree in my yard and usually give most of them away. In return, I always receive Persimmon baked goodies. This bread is sooooo delicious... I polished the entire thing off myself in less than a week. Oh my goodness......

Thinking about the wonderful bread I finished off last night, I was feeling a little guilty walking passed my scale this morning. I've been avoiding it and that's been on purpose. I don't mind gaining a few pounds during the holidays as long as I don't go overboard.  Five pounds, tops.

With this new thought in mind, I stepped on my scale. I might as well know where I'm at so come January 1st, the damages will be clearly identifiable.

All of this worry for nothing as when I stepped on the scale, I almost fell off as I couldn't believe what I saw.  My last weigh-in on November 4th I was 186.0.  Today.... well, a picture is worth a thousand words!



I almost fell off the scale when I saw this! Happy dance time...


That's 8 1/2 pounds in little over a month.... a great rate for losing unwanted FAT! I'm thinking I could be wearing my size 10's for Christmas!

How are you doing with your goals? I would love to hear from you and offer you some encouragement. Do drop me a note or leave a comment to let me know.
