Happy New Year!

Jan 01, 2009

I couldn't be more thrilled to be starting 2009 down 90 pounds from my high in 2008.     I am SO pleased.

The holidays have been challenging on many levels.     I still tend to throw up once a week or so - Christmas day the cheese and ham omelete sat for a couple of hours before returning.     I can eat cookies.   The good news is I am pickier about which ones I will eat... the bad news is I am still REALLY tempted,  and I don't dump.   I'm sure I've eaten far fewer this year than previous years - but I have to wonder how I'll do 2-3 years out.

I continue to be aware of how very much food is integrated into our social lives.     Eating out no longer thrills me -  the large portions, high price, and tendency to be sick afterwards have really toned down any anticipation.      Even parties don't hold the allure.

Bronchitis slowed me down on exercise during the holidays -as did the shortened day light and extreme cold/wet weather.   My greatest desire has been to hurry home and curl up into something warm.      But I'm finally feeling caught up on rest, and anxious to get  moving again.

I'm hoping to start on the weekly nutrition classes at the Weight Loss Center this month.     They have a series of 8 or so classes they encourage you to take at about this point in the journey.   I'm also going to commit tracking again on a regular basis.   At this point my focus will still be protein, water and vitamins.   Calories will come soon enough.    Sometimes I think I'm in the routine of meeting my goals - other times I suspect I might not be a diligent as I need to be.  Tracking will reveal the truth.

Here's wishing you success on your journey in 2009!     Jody
