Happy New Year!

I had a pretty good New Year’s Eve. I went to 40/40 Club with my friends. I’d never done the NYE clubbing thing before, and it was something I wanted to do at least once in my life. Now that I’ve done it, I definitely do NOT feel the need to do it again! Even though we paid in advance, the line was ridiculously long, and it was cold as hell outside! Also, there weren’t enough bartenders, so trying to get a drink at the open bar was extremely unpleasant. But the music was good, and I was with my besties, so overall it wasn’t a terrible experience.

Even though I’m not where I wanted to be at the start of the year weight-wise, I’m still down about 15-20 pounds from last year’s New Year’s Eve, and that’s definitely something to be proud of.

Ugh, looking at that photo from last year never gets any easier! I hate it!!

Anyway, today I started on the HCG drops. AGAIN. I’d been doing pretty well before the holidays, but I went off the rails around Christmas time and haven’t stopped since. I’m back up to 146. But no big deal, I’ll lose it soon enough.

My short-term weight loss goal is to get down to 130 by my birthday, which is Feb. 15. It is DEFINITELY doable. My long-term goal is going to be more difficult to achieve: maintaining my weight, for the rest of my life. I’d like to be done with yo-yo dieting.

So yeah, that’s where I’m at now. Back on a diet, what else is new, right? But hopefully this will be my last New Year’s Resolution that has to do with losing weight.
