Happy December

This is what I'm going with!  The one thing I have going for me is that I keep trying...  I let Thanksgiving and the days following get the best of me and gained 3 lbs  ::wah wah wah::  since the end of October. I know this because I was part of a weight loss competition where biggest percentage lost would win $$$.  So my bright idea was, "hey $5 hasn't been enough motivation for me in the past, let's all put in what will motivate us and keep it a mystery!" So I put in $30 -- the pot got over $200 and yet what do I do, I gain?! UGH! 

I kinda set myself up for it though. From the get-go I was trying to calculate what I thought people weighed and what their percentages would be if they lost x-lbs etc.  It was discouraging for me when I calculated how much I would have to lose.  Adding to that, when people started posted progress, I felt like it was unattainable.  Vegan challenge was good though - I was down a teeny bit! - but then cue the end of the challenge, the holiday, and lack of control.  I'm not making excuses, just trying to understand my brain. lol  I need to do this for me.  Of course December is probably the hardest month. But I've got this, right?!?! 

My goal for me: To be down 7 lbs. on Jan 1, 2014

Today's weight is gross --- totally carb'd it up yesterday --- 258.7

Mini Goals that I want to keep up on and update with for the previous day:

Weigh in: {{I want this number to consistently go down}} --- please don't lecture about how weighing daily is bad. I know this. I need this.  At least for now!! :)
Pop????:  {{This should be a constant NO!}}
Log in MFP (kdw6383): {{This should always say YES!}}
Stay with the current challenge: {{Again, a big YES here!!}}

Keepin' with it!
