ugh! not going well. this holiday i did manage to stay away from sweets and didn't over eat like i used to during the holidays! i never once felt bloated-full, which was always the case in past years. i'm just really trying to get into the swing of things while i get to dieting. i've been trying to eat right, and faltering at just about every turn. it's not easy when you're the only one trying to lose weight :/
i made a concerted effort today, but faltered when it came to dessert. always pass! thats how i should feel, but i welcomed it with open lips. yum, but i ended up feeling gross and bloated afterward. learned my lesson though! i have been drinking tons of water, and lowering my soda-intake to almost nothing. i only drank diet before, but i would just as soon drink water, so why not when it's better? i need to start getting to the gym - that is my issue almost entirely! once i start exercising regularly i will feel so much better. but i just can't seem to get myself going.
i figured out a new motivation though...i'm kind of a tattoo addict (hehe) and figured out a few days ago what my next one will be. today, though, i decided i can't get it until i break 200.

it will be a good goal to meet. i really want to start losing so i get motivated, but it's hard working and going to school and bla bla blah. same excuses, different day. just got to suck it up!
