Finding Me Mondays....the holidays...the food...ugh!

I love the holidays for time spent with family, the wonderful food and actually taking the time to cook wonderful food....BUT....I always eat too much!  I know it's only one day...but I was stuffed!  I've been good about food the other days, but the scale doesn't seem to care since I'm still at the same weight as last week (guess I should be happy it's not higher)...time to really get focused and start to lose weight.  Stress has been high and that doesn't help I know!  I've had so much going on and having my computer hard drive completely go didn't really help!  At least in the end we didn't lose any files, but it took over three weeks to really figure out what was going on and a week to actually get everything taken apart and set back up...so I was spent!

Since the list was getting long, I'm going to start posting a link to the long list and just include the previous week and this week's weigh-in every Monday!  (Long list June 21st (203.5 lbs) - September 13th (194 lbs))

Last weigh-in: September 13th/September 26th - 194lbs, Size 14

October 11th - 191 lbs
October 18th/25th & November 1st/8th/15th - 192 lbs
November 22nd/29th - 194 lbs (not happy about gaining weight, but not totally surprised either)
(ready to gain control and lose weight - ugh and the holidays are now upon us too!)

As I've said every week though, regardless of my current weight  and how I feel right now, I am still hoping that by next June, I will still be able to reach my goal of being able to keep up with my kids and husband and wear the red dress that hangs prominently in my closest (it blocks all my pants) so I have to look at it every day....it will continue to be my motivation!  I get tired of being the one behind the camera every time and am ready to be the one in front of the camera (smiling) more often!  I don't want my kids to wonder what I looked like when they were young!
