It has officially started! I woke up this morning with a very random song in my head, but it fit perfectly! It is an old Sawyer Brown song. The race is on and here come pride in the back stretch......etc and the winner loses ALL! I am going to do just that and lose it all this time!

O.K. I am really reaching my final goals this time with this competition! I have joined 3 weight loss competitions in the past and had lost about 80 lbs. I have hit a wall and actually gained about 15lbs back. I love these competitions and they give me the extra kick in the butt that I need!

I have not done well this week. Oh well. I am going to relax and enjoy the holidays. I will focus on my goals again with a new competition this January.

Today I have made a commitment to restart my working out and trying to make healthier food choices. I have kinda been eating terrible the past week. Way too many kind neighbors with yummy Christmas treats, too many Christmas parties with delicious goodies and too many yummy snacks at work. I have given in and now it is hard to eat my celery and carrots! Today I passed up the homemade cookies brought to us last night. I had to let my kids and husband eat them all so I wouldn't be tempted. This time of the year is so hard!

This week has gone by so fast and I only made it to the gym 2 times. Oh well. I guess I will just do what I can.

Well, I don't like the numbers that are on my scale right now. I did pretty good on Thanksgiving, but I had trouble with the left overs! I had 2 pieces of pie yesterday! Oh well, I am getting back on track today. I went to the gym this morning and ran extra to try and make up for this weekend.

Hello, I haven't had time to exercise at all this past week. I am excited for Thanksgiving and am going to try hard to stay in control of my eating. Holidays are so hard.
