checking in

Hey Ya'll~ (<-- What? Paula Deen in the house?)

I just wanted to check in since I haven't posted since I had gone to GA. We (royal we?) are maintaining at -52 (DESPITE thanksgiving and the catered food of amazing at my workplace) So I'm feeling really good about what my metabolism has accomplished for me. haha! I actually had gained some weight but dropped it quickly from being in GA and eating yummy grease (Oh Cracker Barrel.) But come monday, we're getting back on track and maybe I'm jinxing myself, but I think this mini eat-a-thon is going to show good things for the future as now my body isn't strictly formed around making sure I don't go over my daily 25 pts (which, in 2lbs will be 24. *cry* Remember when I could eat like 28?)
Though I do laugh to think that had I not gotten sick upon returning to the north, I would have hit 55 in Nov as well. Ah. Well, maybe if I'm very good (and lucky) my body will do 10 next month and hit 60. (Wouldn't that be sweet?!)

Oh so, when I started this diet, I thought to myself, I wish I had one of those like, thermometers charts to mark how I'm doing. I actually happened to have an extra white board I had planned to keep track of my homework with (never got past my first assignments in Sept 09) So I made one! it went up to 50, and then marked "Party". Well, when I hit 50 I was like "Holy crap, I didn't actually expect this thing to fill." so I made a much sadder looking one to the right of it going to my actual goal weight. (-93) Sometimes I think it's the key to my success. haha. Having something to work towards. Making that mark every month and working towards being able to mark two of them if at all possible :)))

But anyway, I hope all my friends are doing well on their diets and keeping strong. It's hardest at the beginning, girls. But I have loads of faith in you all :D
