First things first, the original Prior Fat Girl’s site is currently on the fritz, but it should be up this afternoon. Gosh darn interwebs these days. BUT, obviously, my site is A-OK and so is Prior Fat Girl Lindsay’s! That’s right — another Prior Fat Girl has joined the empire :) She’s a cool cat. Check her out!

Back to business. Hi, all! Remember me? I haven’t posted aaaaaall year. Haha. But really, I haven’t posted in a long long time. I’ve had good intentions … then nothing. But here I am now!
As my last post showed, I hit my WW goal, which means I’m now in the Maintenance phase of the program!!! (50 jillion thank yous for all your encouragement and fabulousness!) For the six weeks following my goal week, I need to weigh within 2 pounds of my goal weight. After I do that, I become a Lifetime Member and I don’t need to pay anymore. Yeehaw!
Last Monday was Week 1 of Maintenance. I weighed 149.6. I had gained 1.4 pounds over the extended holiday weekend, which means I had a lot of fun, enjoyed some good food and drinkies, but didn’t go too wild and crazy. All and all, still within 2 pounds of goal, so I was safe.
Today kicks off Week 2 of Maintenance. I’m thinking I’ll weigh in this evening at around the same as last week. It was another extended holiday weekend after all, and I kinda went hog wild on all the nummy New Year’s Eve food … and drinks. I should still be within my goal range, so all is well.
Now that Christmas and NYE have passed, I need to get back into the swing of things. I need to go grocery shopping so I can make healthy meals at home. I need to hit the gym that’s RIGHT DOWN THE HALL for crying out loud. Although it’s crazy cold outside, I need to resist the urge to eat bad-for-me comfort foods.
Seriously, though, do you know how cold it is here in the Sin Cities (aka Minneapolis/St Paul)? According to trusty ol’ weather.com, it’s currently –4°F but feels like –18°F. Barf.
Totally short post today, but I’ll be back in full force soon enough. Promise. This week. Super promise.
Be love.
eh - I'm so jealous, I wanna post! This is serious blogger withdrawal I'm going through!
