{November 5, 2009}   Day 4/5

Eek. I forgot to update yesterday. Drat. I guess that’s what I get for working full time and going to school full time.

So, for the Nest holiday Challenge I am still on my goals. YAY! I picked out a book to read called 101 things to do before you diet (because looking great isn”t just about losing weight), which is about, well pretty much what the title says. I don’t know how to link it in just text, but this will work.

http://www.amazon.com/101-Things-Before-You-Diet/dp/1605298484/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257437023&sr=8-2

I also picked up a copy of Valerie Burtonelli’s Losing it. I don’t know how much I will ike it, because I am really NOT a fan of WW, but I’m gonna try it. Have I mentioned that I love working at a bookstore? Yay for being able to check those out for TWO MONTHS and not have to buy them. LOVE it. Also I love that I was able to buy my sister 8 pregnancy books that if bought new would have been about 120 bucks, bought at our store by a customer around 50, but becuase I get a crazy discount and my manager loves me it cost me less then 7. Yup, less then 7 bucks.

 

Ok, so I am still sitting well on the Holiday Health Nuts challenge. Water intake has been good (it REALLY helps that for the other challenge you get points for only drinking water). I’m really glad that I picked weighing in once a week though. I am REALLY tempted to, but I feel like, because of the fact that I have put on so much weight, I will beat myself up over not losing any weight, or gaining on some days. And I don’t want to do that. I am REALLY hard on myself when it comes to this. So I think that not only is doing the challenge helping me physically, it’s really helping me mentally as well.
