I did it! week 6

Ok...I'm back, as promised...and in a timely fashion too :)

This week was yet another success. I lost another pound and reached my two mini goals...5% and 10 pounds! That means I get to cut and dye my hair this weekend! woohoo!!!! it really worked to set a reward for a goal that was something I normally would have done regardless but I forced myself to wait. It drove me nuts not to be able to cut it 2 weeks ago b/c my hair looks terrible! It made me more motivated and I feel even more satisfied having reached this goal now!

For next week I'm hoping for another 1 pound loss (minimum of course) in order to be overweight rather than obese. Fingers crossed and mouth zipped :)

Actually I have 3 Christmas functions this week...work lunch at Saltgrass Thursday, Christmas party with friends Saturday morning, and family get together Saturday night. All of these are sure to include plenty of eating but luckily the Saturday one with friends should be ok..both of those friends are weight watchers as well so we are doing a WW potluck :) Good thing too b/c i'm going to need a saving grace for that evening at my sister in law's! I'll do good to maintain but I'm still shooting for a loss.
