Losing 30 before I lose my 30s (comments welcome)

Journals are definitely a good way to stay on track. Personally I feel more accountable when I have a public journal vs. writing something private. It looks like you're hanging in there on the journey...good for you! The holidays can be such a challenge.

I had to go to the doctor yesterday because of a sinus infection. I had been just before Christmas and the doctor could not believe that I had actually LOST 5 lbs. over Christmas. I was so proud. I still have a long way to go to get to my goal, but I know that I can do it. I'm at 157.8 and counting.
I need to get my physical activity back on track. I'm a teacher and we've been out of school for snow for 8 days straight. We had Christmas Break and then straight into snow days. It is so hard not to munch when I'm stuck in the house.
I have to keep reminding myself that "nothing tastes as good as thin feels".

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone! Yesterday was Friday and I'm down to 154.8
DH found a new diet he wanted to try so we started it the first of the year. He's lost 9 lbs. which is much more than I have in that amount of time. Why do men lose weight so easily? I'm thinking that it's because I was already eating well and cutting back on portion sizes. Even then, I never lose that much that fast. Oh, well, I'm still happy with my progress.
