So, looking back, I'm still doing WONDERFUL with losing size and although it doesn't really seem like the scale is moving much, it's still going down and with body fat percentage, which is really more important. I did have to go bra shopping for the next size down and I am wearing the same size that I wore when I lived in Iowa. I would really like to drop one more and be VERY comfortable in that size, like I was in high school. I'm having to go and buy all new shirts now, because nothing fits, and I just don't seem to have the time! Ahh! I always feel more confident when I have clothes on that fit, but I just don't understand why everything has to be so darn big on me that's in my closet. It took me a VERY LONG TIME to build up that black wardrobe!

I feel as though I have to be very very careful this holiday season because I love comfort food and it's the holidays and I don't usually eat this...and all the other million excuses that we come up with! I don't want to gain anything back, and since today is Thanksgiving and I already feel like I've gained at least 3 or 4 pounds....this is my pledge!

I will NOT gain weight over this holiday season. In fact, by January first, I will either still be at my current weight or under it! I will still be running, and running either a half or FULL marathon on January 17th and I don't want to be lugging around 5 or 6 extra pounds!!! By the time I run either race in January, I expect to be that next size smaller, if I'm not....then I really need to reevaluate some things. 2 months....high school look alike....get ready world!!!
