Scratch That...

So the whole thing about not worrying too much about dieting until after Christmas pretty much fell through. "Not trying" for me meant the occasional chocolate bar and eating gnocchi for dinner with no veggies. I looked in the mirror the other day and although my weight hasn't changed much, I looked different. I looked puffy in the face and the pants were a little more snug than usual. So I have decided that I need to go pretty hardcore. I did it before, I can do it again. Since school started again, I've found it difficult to track my food diary on Dr. Som's organizer so yesterday I downloaded the myfitnesspal app for my Android phone. It's pretty awesome and you can add friends to it which is cool. So if any of you have the app or decide to download it, let me know :) Wish me luck!!!

Don't Worry, I'm Not Dead :-)

Hey everyone! Thought I'd take a minute to post an updated pic just to show you (and my mom) that even though I am not eating perfectly, I am not gaining weight.
Also, to call attention to my new dress pants :-) I bought them this weekend in Niagara Falls, NY at the Gap outlet at Prime outlets. What's so special about them you ask? They are a size 16 "Curvy". Yes, Curvy! Along with Regular, Petite and Tall, the Gap now makes clothes for curvy women! :-)

MIA...

Hi everyone! So I know I have been MIA lately, truth is, my 75 day challenge didn't last long at all :( It's just so hard these days. I've been working like crazy and have little to no will power. The closer we get to Christmas, the more sweets and treats show up daily. So I have decided to maintain (or plateau, which is what I have been doing for a few months now) until the new year and then after that go at it again hardcore. It is at that time that I will ask for all of your support and prayers to help me succeed. Wish me luck!
