Kelly’s Journey – January 2012

Happy New Year Everyone!

I returned from Italy just before Thanksgiving.  It was nice to be back on my own treadmill and cooking in my own kitchen.  I’m moving right along and looking forward to giving away the next 40 pounds.  I like to think of it as giving away because I don’t ever want them back again.  Something lost is expected to be found someday.  No Way!

I did treat myself over the thanksgiving weekend.  I had a glass of belgian beer on Friday and two glasses of wine on Saturday.  This was the first time I had anything off plan since March when I started the program.  I’m a big fan of belgian beer and it tasted wonderful.  But I have work to do so I got right back on track the next day.  I would say though, the scale continued to move but the days that followed were slower than usual.  No regrets because that was a great glass of beer!

Looking forward to progress over the next couple of months as we have a trip to Mexico planned for the end of February and I have a picture from last year, before I started Genesis that I want to “re-do” when I’m 70 or 80 pounds smaller.  Seeing that picture really helped to convince me to get motivated and take control of my self.  Maybe I’ll post the before and after once I reach my goal.  Wish me luck!
