You can't argue with 50!

Dec 17, 2014

It's been a few weeks since I took the time to sit down and chronicle my thoughts. They've been busy, hectic and enlightening. I struggled through Thanksgiving even though I sat home with a cold. We had a potluck at work which I had to put together. I also baked one of my signature cakes and had a slice in the house... During the 5 days I had off, I ate 2 slices, a roll and some ice cream. I was HORRIFIED! But it occurred to me that I was bored and boredom snacking had come back. The only way that I could be bored was if my energy had returned for me to do other things! That was in fact the case and last weekend, I found myself in NYC, having lunch with friends and Xmas shopping. 

I've been clear and awake the past 2 weeks. I am able to get up for work on time. I don't feel groggy during the day. I think I have recovered from the surgery and its been fab. Yesterday, I put together the office End of Year celebration. Everyone requested Italian food. I was able to stay away from the carbs and completely avoided the carefully curated Dessert Bar that I put together. I call that a success!

The last bit of news is that I set a goal in my mind to lose 50 lbs by Christmas. I quickly realized that I wanted lose that amount by the time I see my Mom. I haven't seen her since June (at my worst). I haven't been back to Michigan since April. I'm dying to hear my family's reaction. I really want her to be proud of me. Due to all the chaos of the week and barely eating since Monday, I can proudly say that as of this morning, I have hit that 50lbs lost! It's an exhilarating feeling. I FINALLY feel like I'm on my way and I can do this. 

What can I say... I'm a happy girl!
