I am down five pounds. I lolligagged around the first three weeks of January, doing great for 2 days and then out of control eating for 4...all of this after eating whatever I wanted from mid November through the end of the year. I don't know why we use the holidays as an excuse to stuff our faces, but it is an American tradition to do so and next year I VOW not to! No excuses. So after finally putting it in gear this week with my eating and exercise I am down 5. Still does not get me back to my pre holiday weight, but I am happy that it is at least moving in the correct direction!! My jeans that felt far too tight two weeks ago are fitting more to my liking now! I think I am officially over the holiday hump and now can move forward with my journey. To me the first week is the hardest and I now have it conquered.

Happy Friday. Hope it is great for all of you!

    LOL, you did a reverse new years resolution. You started out bad, and vowed at the END of January instead of the other way around (like 99% of people).

    Nice job girl!
