It hasn't been the best start to 2011 for me. It started off with three great New Year's celebrations, but ended with a flu that turned into pneumonia and lasted all month. I am finally shaking that off and getting back to my regular routine, but it has been a challenge to not fall back into old habits.
I should explain that I am not a good sick person. I am whiny, bitchy and just plain annoying to be around - so I count my blessings that I still have friends after the January I have had. Even the Enforcer has taken one for the team this month - I actually feel kind of bad for him.
I am missing the drive that the contest gave me. I have still been losing, but it is WAY easier to have that glass of wine (or two) and sneak a dessert here and there when I don't have the success of 11 other people weighing on my mind. I have only run into one other person from the contest at the gym since it ended. She did pretty well too, and we are both excited to know how everyone else did - and of course who won. They have promised to announce a winner in February - so I will keep you posted.
While I was sick, I did fall back into some old habits so they are still kicking around, waiting in the shadows for when I am weak - but my success so far has been pretty motivating and keeps them down for the most part. From the beginning of 2010 to last week, I have lost 45 pounds - 25 of those since September. It is getting harder though - and the Enforcers workouts are getting much more difficult.
My next major goal is the end of April when I hope to be well within the 'healthy' weight range for my height. It will still take a lot of drive and discipline, but I am pretty sure I will make it. Just have to keep up with the momentum I have going and look forward to Spring and all those cute new clothes :)
