Yay, the holidays are finally over! Getting back on track.

Is it just me or is anyone out there glad that the holidays are finally over. I mean, who needs 2 weeks of eating crap and getting thrown off their exercise routine. I was stuck working more than usual, the gym had their crappy holiday schedule hence modified open hours and I was not able to make it regularly. I actually did not work out 5 days in a row, a very first for me.

Don't ask me how I did it, I managed to lose 2 lbs during Christmas. I was surprised and felt on top of the world. Who loses weight during the holidays. Comes New Year which is also my birthday and my monthly little friend and I'm up 2 lbs! Disappointed, shocked but I blamed it on having my period. Today, a week later, I'm still at the same weight. Frustrating! To make matters worse, I'm told by my brother that my face looks bigger and he asks me whether or not I've put on weight. To confuse me even more, my mother begged me to stop losing because she finds me too small. Confused much?

I go in a state of panic wondering whether my face did really get bigger from gaining those 2 measly pounds. Are my new size 8 pants getting tight? Do I really look that big? Even after losing all this weight (80 something), I sometimes still see & feel the old me.

Luckily for me, I signed up for a few personal training sessions. I'm determined to get rid of those 2 freakin' lbs and get below 150 by the end of the month (I'm 154). I'm going to keep planning my meals, logging my food and push myself even harder at the gym (as if what I'm doing now is not enough). So frustrating!

The plan

•  Not to leave the gym until I see a calorie burn of at least 1000 cals on my HRM.
• 2 liters of water minimum per day.
• Be out of the 150s by the end of the month, no excuses!

As frustrating as it can be, I need to look at the bigger picture which is ...

• A starting weight of 235 lbs.
• My current weight of 154 lbs
• A total weight loss of 81 lbs.
