It is what it is

Those were the words I was thinking when I just weighed in ...160.6. NOT the way I wanted to start the new year, but then again, I have done a lot of eating and drinking in the past week so its no surprise I am up .8 from last week.
The good news is that I am kicking butt when it comes to exercise. While I guess I would expect to see a nice loss after all the exercise, it goes to show you cannot exercise well and eat like crap and expect losses. But I am optimistic that Wednesday will show me under 160 again and soon I will be back to where I was before all of this holiday business. Its a relief actually because I am so sick of attending parties with food and alcohol and staying out late and sleeping in. It was a nightmare to get up for work today and its no wonder why since I havent treated myself very well the past few weeks.

I did have so much fun on New Years though and I remember last year looking at my picture and thinking, wow I look great. I thought it would be fun to compare pictures and even though there is not a huge difference, its difference enough to know that a year is enough to have an effect. This year I think I look even better (although I prefer my haircolor back then)!

2008 (with my bff and other friend) - 160

I can't really see a difference in the hair color, but I really do like this length. You look fab!

Great job with the workouts. It's easier to take a teensy gain when you know you're doing *something* good for you! :)

Happy New Year!

Although you look great in last year's photo, I can deffinately see a difference in this year's. I don't see much difference in the hair color, though.....I've said before - you are a pretty girl.

Now that holidays are over for awhile, I am sure you will begin to see that scale moving downward again.

You look great! You can definitely see the change. I do have to say, though, do you and your bff practice the same poise each year? :)
