It is amazing how time gets away from you. the holidays have been coming at me at record speed it seems! 1 week until Christmas. Yowsers!

At my last weigh in on Monday I was surprised with a loss! My official weight at the office Monday was 234.6! That makesna grand total thusnfar of 21.4 pounds! My weight loss has definitely slowed down but, as long as I maintain a loss of some sort through the first of the year that is a win in my book!
Somehow this entry wound up in my Dothan Dinners For Less blog! Yikes!
Here it is!

A tip I received from the nutritionist last week:

Keeping your water intake up when it is cold outside is very difficult. I myself find it hard to drink water when all I want is hot cocoa and coffee. Her suggestion? Hot tea. I was skeptical at first but since I started drinking it I do have to say that I enjoy it.
How do I remember to drink tea? My mom bought me a tea kettle that I keep full of water on the stove. When I get ready to do something, or when I am readying to leave, I turn it on. It whistles very loudly, so I don't miss it! I make some tea and take it with me on the road. It doesn't go down as quickly as ice water on a hot day but, it does keep me warm when it's chilly outside!

Do you drink tea? What is your favorite flavor? I bought a green tea/white tea fusion yesterday. Apparently, white tea has been found to contain more antioxidants than green! Whoda thunk?

No, I haven't fallen of the face of the Earth....

Wow, the holidays can be crazy! There is something about the months of November and December. They seem to fly by every year. Between birthdays, Thanksgiving, Anniversary, more birthdays, Christmas, split families and life in a family of 5 I have been running non stop. I wish that running would cause me to lose some weight! I wish I could say that I have been so busy running on the elliptical that I haven't had time to blog. But, I cannot. That elliptical has been getting some good use, and no, not as a clothes rack! My trip to the nutritionist, the 1st in 2 weeks, proved to be a success! I lost 2.7 pounds since my last visit. I am officially down to 235!! That's the exact weight I was when I had Lillian! To celebrate the success, I bought a sweater dress. I am not sure how it will LOOK when I put it on...but I have it along with a new pair of boots!
