HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL!

Well, here I go again. I’ve gained back every single ounce I lost over last year, and then added a few pounds. I’m taking a med right now that tends to exacerbate weight gain, so it’s double the struggle. However, I did start a written journal this morning…actually splurged on a leather-bound journal because it’s so darned nice to write in. :) Christmas is always a killer, calorie-wise, but I can’t even blame that, really.

I haven’t been drinking my water at all, except for the few glasses I get here and there from sheer thirst. So, that was first on the list! Secondly is to reduce our portion sizes. We eat healthily, but sometimes in ridiculous amounts. So, that’s the second thing for now. With winter settling in, it’s hard to say just how much walking I’ll get in, but I’ve lots of other exercises I can do *inside*, so no excuses there.

Realistically, I’d like to shed 50 pounds in 2007. (Man, that sounds like a broken record!) How quickly I do it really doesn’t matter as long as the loss is steady. I’m sick of the yo-yo thing, and sick of my lack of resolve.

In fact, I’m not even feeling that positive about the whole thing today — maybe it’s the too-tight waist band on my jeans! But I know I MUST do it…and there’s no time like the present. So…here I go again. Anyone else coming aboard? ;)

P2G: 50 [-/+0]

Happy New Year to you, too! I’m just tickled to be in good company again.

That dang water – I didn’t do so well with it for a while, either – and now after just one day I’m shedding water weight.

That was a “doh” moment for sure!

We’ll get there. We will.

I’ll commit to 75 pounds for the year. What do I have to do to be a part of this group?
