The last day of..
the old year! And a new year coming a head of us :) Hopefully bringing lots of happiness and success to all of us in the losin' it land :) and to others too of course :)
I have had so much success the past year, in this health journey of mine I mean. So I have lots to be grateful for. And I'll do my best to make the coming year as much a success as the last one was. I have been "bad" the last week but I felt I deserved a points free week at the end of the year. I have been doing so good for 7 months that one week doesn't matter :) And I'll be on to it on tuesday again! The first day of the new year, and the first day of the rest of my life with healthy living :)
May the new year bring you happiness and may all your dreams come true!
Happy New Year my friends! :)

I've been bad, bad...
I am gaining a bit of weight this holiday! Have been sooo bad, eating a whole lot of chocolate and candies. It has escalated, at xmas eve I only ate little of it, on xmas day a bit more and yesterday I ate a lot! :( Ouch! There is so much of it in the house and I have a really hard time resisting it! Today I have, so far, not eaten any. Have set my mind not to eat any more of it! But I have eaten bad food as well and still am :( So monday will show a gain for sure, the scale sad so this morning! Ah well, I'll lose it again after the holidays over! Just new year celebrations left to go then I will be back on the bandwagon again! At least everything has been tasting good ;o)

Still enjoying christmas..
and all the chocolate boxes laying around in the house! Yep, I still am on the "wrong" side of the bandwagon ;o) But hey, I have been behaving so good for the last 7 months that a couple of "bad" days can't hurt. Or? I don't think so anyway :D I deserve a couple of chocolate days, don't you think?
I have taken some new measures to remind myself that I am losin' inches and shouldn't dive so deep into the chocolate boxes ;o)

Finally a moment..
for myself by my 'puter :)
I have had sooo much to do these last few days!
I haven't been home so very long now, we have been to my moms and celebrated christmas (we celebrate on christmas eve in sweden). Have eaten absolutely everything I wanted to and haven't counted a single point :D Hehe told you I wouldn't ;o) And I have really really enjoyed myself :) I haven't eaten like crazy or something, just not been thinking about points and dieting :) I have eaten a few peaces of chocolate and some candy as well :)
Yesterday (23rd) was my birthday. Turned 38, ouch that sounds so close to 40, doesn't it?! We had a mini christmas celebration here at home then. We ate some tasty christmas food and had a cousy evening together :) That backfired this morning :( All week I have seen so low numbers on the scale, but because of my body not being used to that kind of food, it was not that low this morning. But hey, I did reach the christmas goal anyway :D I actually hit exactly on the goal! :D
And I have had so many nice comments on how much "thinner" I look :) That feels really great! :D
Merry Christmas to you all!

The Christmas..
is coming in a hurry and I have sooo so much to do! Don't know where to get the time for it?! Need to clean the house, decorate it and bake some bread and cookies, yep I am going to bake cookies too ;o) well, I have a family which loves my cookies (I do too ;o) and hubby and I are having our birthdays during the holidays, so cookies will be done :)
I step on the scale every morning and this morning I saw my christmas goal coming :) Keeping my fingers crossed that it will remain until christmas eve (julafton as we call it in sweden) and weigh in! And hoping I won't eat too much and gain during the holidays! But I will eat all I want to at christmas eve and at new years celebrations, I have promissed myself that :D

Joyful monday :)
Yep, I am one happy chick today :) I've lost (drumroll)... 4,4lbs this week! Quite a loss! *Doing a happy dance* :D And this means that I am back on track on my christmas countdown too! :D with "only" 0,9lb to go until christmas eve :)) You wanna bet my mood is up by 200%?
Sending motivation vibes out to needy! I've got plenty of it now :)

Oh my..
finally I can rest my feet! Have been walking and walking in aaaaall those stores today, buying christmas presents. I have almost done all the gift shopping, yay :) Of course I forgot to put my bonus buddy (WW thingie) on while shopping :( but I'm sure I walked a bonus point or two ;o) Well, that wouldn't have helped me stay within my points today even if I would have had it on. Had burger and fries, and cookies and stuff at a restaurant. And that for sure isn't fat free! I did a rough count and I think I had 35 points today and I only have 26 per day! Yeeks! Not good! Sure hope it didn't destroy my loss for monday!
I saw some really lovely santas that I wanted to buy but I had spent way too much money on presents. So I couldn't afford to give myself a santa, bummer ah well, maybe next year! You know.. I am the collecting type of person, which means I collect loooots of things ;o) Mom and sis always tells me to throw away some "garbage" as they call it :D You can tell they don't collect any stuff, huh? The only things they kind of accept that I collect is santas and my tiny crystal figurines.
Time for the beauty sleep :)

Tomorrow friday..
and I have the whole day off :D I took the afternoon off to go christmas shopping and today I found out that the am lessons was canceled too :D So instead I will follow my kiddo to a christmas party he is going too. Now he will be pleased, having his mommy there as the rest of the kids :) And afterwards I'll leave him at my sisters so I can buy his christmas presents.
I've lost some weight during the week, but if it will remain until monday is left to see. It's more than 2lbs and I sure hope it will remain!
Off to put the kiddo to bed! See ya soon :)

Soon christmas..
And I haven't had time to do much here at home! Need to do a lot of baking and cleaning! On friday I'll go to Sundsvall, a city 100km south of us, to buy christmas presents. That'll be fun :) I really enjoy shopping for christmas :)) And by the end of next week it's time to christmas decorate the house, even more fun :D I am crazy about santas, I have lots of them to spread all over the house :D
My PMSing has made me use almost all of my daily points :( I use to save the 4p that I am allowed to every day between monday and friday, to have something extra during the weekend. But this week I won't have any extra for the weekend, well atleast not many of them. Today I only have 1,5 point to save. Ah well, atleast I don't go crazy because of not letting myself have what I have cravings for ;o)
I had a physics exam today, the final for this semester, and I think I did pretty well :) Well, there was ONE question that I almost got bold over (ripping my hair off ;o), but the rest I think I did well on. Atleast it felt like that when doing it, I'll see when I get it back!

Yes..
a pound is a pound is a pound, you are so right Trish :) Thank you for reminding me! :) And yes, I do great even if I don't hit the 272 by christmas! *Pet on the neck* I need to remind myself that once in a while, that I have lost a lot of weight and I do great for my health :)
But now I am PMSing :( have had a huge craving for all kinds of things to put in my mouth, candies and cookies mostly! But I have managed to stay within my points even if I gave in to some lowfat candy and a couple of cookies. Good for me :) *another pet on the neck* :D

We came home..
yesterday as scheduled. Driving our new (new to us) car, it was a looong night! We got home around 5:30am and were pretty tired. But all went well and we got home safe and sound :) I'll take a pic of our car when we've cleaned it up, it got quite durty while driving it home.
Well, it was weigh in today and I did not lose 3,3lbs :( the scale is going up and down like crazy, has been for the last couple of weeks! I did lose though but "only" 1lb, so the countdown is really out of track now! I probably won't be down at 272,1lbs by christmas, if something drastically doesn't happen that is.

Friday..
again and I will not get my weekly rest! Well, I will get something better than sleep a new, well not new but new to us, car :) But I'll have to travel through a huge part of our long country to buy it. It's 850km south of us, so we'll be travelling 1700km this weekend! I'll leave 4:30am saturday by train and be back "something" am sunday by car! Our car :D
So see you on sunday my friends! :)

I am not..
on scedule on the countdown after this weeks gain. But if I lose 3,3lbs next weigh in I'll be back on track. So keep your fingers crossed for me, will you?

Yep..
temporary it was :) I've started to lose it again :)) If it would have been monday today I would have reported a 0,66lb loss, but it's not so the official weigh in for this week is a gain and will remain so ;o) But my mood knows that I've lost some and my clothes are almost falling off me so my motivation stays high keeping me going :) I wouldn't have let it destroy it for me anyway! I have had such a steady loss this time I've done a lifestyle change, I have been a yoyo dieter for most of my life, kind of (not since I met hubby though, only gained since that ;o). And I have never lost so steady before! But am now and that gives me lots of motivation too :)

This time...
I didn't lose any weight, on the contrary, I gained 0,44lb not so much to fuss about as it's not that much of a gain. And I have done so well most of the time so it had to come sooner or later. It's funny though how fast you can gain weight! On thursday when I weighed I had lost the same amount as the past two weeks. But today I have gained it all back + some. Maybe it's something temporary, we'll see next week! Anyway, as I have got so much nice motivation from the resent events I can live through it :)

I, the stranger..
around this place ;o) Well, this week has been one of those you can do without and unfortunately I had to do with it. Anyway, I hope the coming week will be mucho mejor. The last week haven't been so good foodwise, I haven't had time to cook proper food so it has been a lot from the freezer at the supermarket. And too little veggies and such. The only thing I have been doing all right, most of the week anyway, is drinking water. This will probably show on tomorrows weigh in :( But ahh well, you can't be a success all the time. On the other hand I had a real "woowsie" moment this week. I realized that I have "shrinked" so much that I can fit into a chair with armrests! (No I couldn't earlier) Boy did that give a kick :D and a whole lot of motivation too :D And I have had a lot of comments about how "small" I have gotten (small and small, smaller anyway ;o) Guess if that helps keep me going :))
