My resolution is that next year, for the first time in my adult life, losing weight will not be my new year's resolution. I have to tell the truth, December has been tough and I probably only worked out like 6 times. I was so sick for the first two weeks, with sick kids as well. Then all the prep for Christmas and then Kevin arriving and then all the festivities. And I also admit I ate too much but still a whole lot less than I would have in the past. And I am still off regular pop! Now things have calmed back down. We can finally get a good schedule going. I truly miss jogging though and I am so ready to get back to it, but the weather is not cooperating. I hate cold and it is going to be cold for a while. I really want to do a 5K, that is my other resolution. I am just really afraid of it cause anyone I know who has done it can actually run and I don't run and I think I would be the last one behind tons of people.
One of my greatest Christmas gifts was my size 12 jeans! Yes size 12, my 14's are now falling down, so it looks like my bad month didn't ruin me. I was doing a dance in the fitting room cause they fit so well! I can't wait to keep going down. I am going to use some Christmas money to buy some more Alli, cause I really think it is helping. I also bought (with Christmas money) a 5-lb weight ball, more (smaller) work out clothes, 2 new dvd's, and we got the Fit TV Channel now so I have all kinds of work outs. You should see my DVR, it has like 15 workouts recorded. I can never get bored again!
My goals:
lose more weight (duh)
size 8 by this summer!
jog a 5K
jog a 5K in under 40 minutes!
Things I want to do when I am smaller:
buy a cute swimsuit
go to Vegas
ride a mechanical bull
get pictures taken
try on my wedding dress (if I am an 8 than it will be too big!)
I wish you all a very happy and healthy new year. I hope some of you can be inspired like me and just do it, if I can anyone can.

Emily,
You are awesome! I am so proud that you have come so far, and are still going strong! I am in a size 12 jeans, I am not very happy with it either, but I am not motivated like you are. I wish I was!
And I wanted to tell you, I have done a 5K, and I am NOT a runner. I think you and I are in the same category when it comes to running, although, you are probably better than me now. BUt when I did the 5K, I was jogging like you, and I had a good time. I mean, I felt like I was going to die, but then I was really proud of myself afterward! I know you can do it! And it is such a good experiance, and then you will always be able to say that you did it!!! Keep t up girl!
~Meg
