Biggest Loser! Yahoo!!!!

It's a month into this year and I've lost 6 of the 15 pounds needed to meet my goal. They say the first few pounds are the easiest but normally, I have difficulty even losing 2 pounds, so I'm very excited. Best of all, I'm still eating sweets which I know I will need to give up here soon. February will be a BIG challenge for me. First, Superbowl Sunday and all the snacks that go with it. Second, it's Valentines Day and everyone knows that means LOTS of sugar for at least a week leading up to and following it. Third, it will be my Birthday. Of course, that means thick and creamy frosting from Costco! And that also means another year older- tougher to lose weight. Fourth, I'll be going back to work which will upset my exercise routine. So I will need to work extra hard just to keep the same 6 pounds off. So my focus for February will need to be continued exercise (walk/jog 2 miles most days), portion control (veggies should double the size of protein -2:1 ratio) and dessert/sweets only 3x per week. It really helps that I'm making myself report in each month. Thanks for being my sounding board!
