Still Shrinking

As you can see from the sidebar from MyFitnessPal over there on the left, I'm still shrinking away. 83 pounds now. Pretty certain that unless I have a leg amputated between now and 12/31, my unrealistic goal of 100 pounds lost in 2011 isn't going to happen - but 90 would make me crazy happy...and I'm pretty sure I can do it!

Medifast is easier than I thought. For as much as I'm paying for it, it damn well better be, right? I've lost 15 pounds on the plan since I started on November 4th. That's pretty friggin remarkable, if you ask me. It definitely knocked me off of the plateau I had been on (I was losing less than a pound a week - which wouldn't be an awful thing if I didn't have so much left to lose).

I've been working out at about 85% of what I had been doing before -- since my calories are so reduced, I don't want to go into starvation mode. Honestly, for as much as I really don't enjoy working out - it's been a nice reprieve. Plus, it's what I'm supposed to be doing, so I can't feel the least bit guilty either.

Giving up alcohol is also not nearly as tough as I thought it would be. On the plan, you just can't drink. It makes sense, since booze are so carbolicious and the calories are empty. I go out a LOT since I manage my boyfriend's band - every weekend on average. Plus, we usually get free drinks at the gigs. It's a lot of temptation to live down - or so I thought. That being said, on New Year's Eve, I'm having a few beverages. I'll have to be careful though, since my tolerance just isn't what it used to be.
