Do I dare?

It's been a little while since I've posted. I hate to admit, but I've been "bitten" by the Facebook bug. Never did I believe that I would enjoy posting so much there, but I do. Neglecting my blog was never part of the arrangement and I feel badly that I have. So, better late than never, right?

I never posted on how my third round went. I was able to get back into the high 140s and stay there for a bit. Then...(queue dramatic, suspense-filled music) the holidays arrived. Ugh! They were filled with lovely starches and sugars, some of which I just couldn't say no to. I'm happy to report that I haven't added back on all the weight I lost, but I did manage to procure more than I wanted to. We also had our biannual faculty meetings and the food fare was heavy-ladened with salt. A big no-no for me!

I'm attempting to get rid of about fifteen pounds with just good, old-fashioned exercise and sensible eating. I have discovered that protein is definitely good for me. Too much refined sugar and the weight is just layering on. I've discovered that I burn a fair amount of calories playing the Wii with my children. I've also been using the treadmill. We'll see how things pan out. I don't want to do a fourth round, but have the necessary items to do so if it comes to it. It's not my wish to buy a new wardrobe again in bigger sizes.

I hope all my fellow HCGers are doing well and maintining (better than I did). Remember all the lessons you learned and try not to falter; however, remember that you are human and, if you should fall off the wagon, tomorrow is a new day.
