Dread

I will just say that I am dreading the weigh in this week! We have been in Dallas all weekend for my sisters graduation from UNT. We had a couple of family dinners that were arranged and paid for by others, so we didn't have much say so in the food selection! Britt and I decided that we would just make the best choices we could with the menus provided.. The first dinner was a barbecue restaurant and the second was a mexican restaurant!!! oh, this was hard! We were so tempted to just eat what we wanted all weekend, but we were smart.. I really think we made the best possible choices and tried to be careful of portion sizes. We avoided desserts and snacking for the most part. Still, I really feel like I overdid it. The water in Dallas is gross so I didn't drink much water - even the ice tastes funny to me.
We are nearly done with Christmas shopping, thank goodness. I say year after year "next year, I am going to save money and get this done early" but it never works out that way. Maybe this will be the year that it actually happens. I would love to have a bunch of money stashed away and then just order everything online.. ha!

I bet the weigh-in will go just fine because you were conscientious!

Central Arkansas has the best water. Period!

Girl, gotta give you props for starting this DURING THE HOLIDAYS!!!
I have GOT to get back on track, myself. I have gained at least 15 pounds since going back to school. But I have resigned myself to wait until after New Year's because we just have too many events to go to and my schedule is too hectic. I did join a gym for the first time in 3 years, though!
I am right there with you -- cheering you on! You (make that WE) can do this!
Merry Christmas!
Love, Summer =)
