Well today is New Years Eve and I am looking back on this past year. I have spent the majority of my life celebrating achievements, holidays, and even sorrows with food. In the past year that has changed for me and it was very evident over the last few weeks. Although I have been the baker/cook in our family for years this was the first year that I didn't keep a single thing in the house. As soon as I baked any sweets I brought it straight to my moms to put it in their freezer. I also made sure that when we had any large meal I stayed within my calorie count and ate slowly so as to enjoy what I was eating.
When I got weighed in at TOPS on Dec 18 I was 309.4lbs and when I go back on January 8 I am hoping to not only be down 60lbs total but maybe even be below 300lbs. So far, on my home scale, I have reached the 60lb loss and I am getting very close to the 300lb mark but I won't record either till they can be verified at TOPS!!!

55lbs Down
Last weigh in for 2012 .... Or at least the last official one and I lost 1.4lbs since last week but 2.4lbs on the TOPS books once last weeks weigh in was just for me :-)
I have reached 55lb weight loss and my goal for 2012 is 60lbs total. I am not sure I can do it in the next 12 days but I am going to make my best effort.

No TOPS But Still Weighed In
Due to Christmas concerts and the such we cancelled TOPS this week but I just didn't want to go without getting weighed in so I asked our Weight Recorded to help me out with this.
We met up at 4:15 on Dec 11, 2012 and I weighed in at 310.8lbs ... that's another 1lb lost bringing me down 53.6lbs in total!!!
I am 6.4lbs away from losing 60lbs and 11.2lbs away from getting BELOW 300lbs ... these are two of my HUGEST goals I have for myself and I would LOVE to end 2012 reaching both of these goals!!

Another week down :-)
Well I got weighed on Tuesday at TOPS and I'm now down 52.6lbs after losing 3.4lbs this week. I was pleasantly surprised after the week I had. I have been so use this past week that I haven't been able to get near my treadmill. That doesn't mean I haven't been doing other things like cleaning, baking and decorating. I have had tons of energy so I have also been staying up later every night and as such getting and doing more and more!!
Down to 311.8 now :-)

Christmas Party
Seaside had their Christmas party last evening at Horizon Achievement Center in Sydney. Everyone from both sections of the company was invited and 90% of them showed. The night started with wine, cheese and mingling followed by a turkey dinner. It was difficult for me because I couldn't pick what I wanted and didn't want on my plate. The plate was very large compared to what I'm eating off of on a daily basis and the same with the cutlery. I did make it through though. I had about 3 ounces of white turkey meat, 1/2 cup of carrots and peas and about 1/8 of a cup of mashed potatoes. Desert was laid out on the table before we started and it was a few different kinds of cheese cake, However I only had one bit and handed the rest to Colin.
Next issue for me was finding something I likes to drink besides a cooler because I can't drink those anymore. I had very few options ....

Wine
I am sure I could have had rum and water but I was not that brave and I was driving as well so I stuck with the wine. It was good and I am not a wine drinker by any means.
We had a great time none the less once the food issues were overcome. Our new owners had some amazing prizes picked out for us too.
1. Digital camera
2. Two iPad 4's
3. 40" LCD tv
4. A $3000 travel voucher with maritime travel for anywhere in the world
Colin won one of the iPad 4's and that is what I'm typing this blog on today because he loves me so much he gave it to me :-)
I will be getting a picture from the party of Colin and I but not for a week or so. And once I learn to add photos to the iPad I will post my most recent picture taken last night with my new hair cut and everything.
I finally felt comfortable at a large gathering. We had a lot of fun and although I am not brave enough yet to get up and dance I know it will come. Happy for small victories right now I'm not pushing things.
