I have NEGLECTED YOU! eeeeek!

well to be honest i have also neglected myself.
i got in such a rut that i worked hard in november and didnt lose anyting THE WHOLE MONTH. then suddenly, in early december, 4 lbs DROPPED off of my persons rather suddenly, and welcomely. however i got complacent as one does on super long projectsand it came back. im now holding steady at 212 again.
a few things that have changed? i stopped eating fantastic because nothing was happening...well after those 4 lbs came off i didnt get exactly remotivated. so getting back on will help.
also its winter. in oregon. something i LOVE but means that its hard to exercise. and im nto just making excuses. its too cold to exercise WITH the kids, and by the time my husband is off work and i could go..its dark and im a weenie.
my poor bike hasnt been ridden and i want to! i need to find something.

Biggest Loser starts back up in Jan! with Jillian and Bob and Dolvett i bet ill shed a few lbs.

im a "groomslady" in one of my best friend Matt's Wedding on june 15th. im setting a goal. here and now. December 19th, 2012 that in 6 months at his wedding i WILL be 180 lbs or better.

he deserves beautiful wedding photos and as a girl im already going to stand out in them, i should be at my best shape! its very important!

i have some support and help in this.
i have 4 challenges and support going right now.
Emily - started when i was 232 goal to get to 50 lbs lost. whoever wins gets free drinks!
Amanda - whoever gets to 180 first gets drinks! (im not an alcoholic i sweari just didnt want it to be a challenge for dinner or anything like that)
Kim - my sister and i are at a race to lose 13 lbs (that would put me around 199) by my girls first birthday.
Melissa - we are both on a mission to support each other as we seek out the coveted goal weight and body of that of a 175 lber. we can do it! you know, if we put our backs into it. :)

i know what i want and i deserve it.
yesterday i was eating HORRIBLY, like it was my "before" life.
graham crackers with peanut butter and marshmellows, pb and banana sammiches. (I LOVE PEANUTBUTTER).
just not good stuff.

also...here is some TMI. enjoy :)

i recently invested ina  hopeful tea, (3 ballerina tea) to aid in my digestion. you may have heard of it as a dieters aid, but i assure you i am not going that route, i simply want to have a bit of a cleanse. my system needs that shock, it needs that assistance to get back on track. it has been sluggish and slow and uncomfortable.
unfortunately, despite rave reviews about its crazy "side effect" of making a person cramp horribly and relieve themselves within about 6 hours...that did NOT happen to me. there was no drastic need to run to the restroom where i would stay for an hour...nay, this did NOT happen. i tried a second day...nothing. sigh.
one day maybe when i up the fruits and vegetables again.

im doing amazing at water drinking! i get in quite a bit now. that makes me happy. i dont drink or need Mio or any flavored water beverage.

im just doing well, and why fuckit up because i got complacent? i KNOW that if i keep working, the body will come. look how far ive come already! time to get back on the horse so i can not be a cow anymore. im worth it! :)
