I HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAD A GREAT NEW YEARS. MINE WAS RELATIVELY QUIET, BUT GREAT. I HADN'T BEEN LOGGING ON BECAUSE I FEEL OFF OF THE WAGON DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND WAS TOO EMBARRASSED TO WRITE ABOUT IT. BUT IT IS LIKE MY FAVORITE GOSPEL SONG, WE FALL DOWN, BUT WE GET UP. AND I AM UP AND READY TO GO. I ACTUALLY HAD A SCARE THIS WEEK (NOTHING SERIOUS) I WENT SHOPPING, MY FAVORITE PAST TIME, AND I WANTED TO BUY A FEW NEW SWEAT SUITS SO I CAN LOOK REALLY CUTE WHILE ON MY WALKS. I WENT TO A DISCOUNT MALL. I FOUND A LITTLE PLACE AND PICKED OUT FOUR SUIT SUITS, DEPENDING ON THE STORE I USUALLY WEAR BETWEN A 20 TO 22. AT THE SPECIALTY STORES I WEAR AN 18. SO IMAGINE MY SHOCK WHEN I HAD TO GET A 3X I WAS ALMOST IN TEARS. MY HUSBAND, THE DARLING THAT HE IS, SAW THE TEARS COME TO MY EYES AND ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG AND I TOLD HIM I HAD TO GET A 3X, AND HE REASSURED ME THAT I WAS DOING GOOD AND THAT I HAD LOST WEIGHT. OF COURSE I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM BECAUSE THE OUTFITS WERE A 3X, BUT HE TOLD ME THAT IF THE SCALE SAID THAT I WEIGHED MORE THAT HE WOULD PAY FOR THE SWEAT SUITS AND A GYM MEMBERSHIP. SO I CAME HOME AND JUMPED ON THE SCALE AND WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT I HAD NOT GAINED WEIGHT THE CLOTHES RAN SMALL (REALLY). SO I ENDED UP BUYING HIM A NEW SWEAT SUIT.

I am determined.

Just think in 6 maybe even 4 months you might lose 1 or 2 sizes......is that ever EXCITITNG!!!

Susan is right, you're not the only one who splurged a bit this season!

Remember, you won't be the only one getting back at it and guzzling water!
