We have returned to the land of the Artic!!! Holy cow... what a difference in the weather. Anyhow, we had a GREAT time at Disney. The boys did an awesome job with their performances down there and the weather was beautiful every single day.

So I gained +2 lbs over the last two weeks. I honestly did not count calories or anything else while I was gone! All I did was have fun!! And I am totally OK with it. I am back on track now and I will lose it. Life is going to happen.... this journey is for the rest of my life.... not just for a month or a year.

I believe that having the band did limit me to what I ate. I was not hungry all the time... I was just not choicing to eat the things that I KNEW I should be eating.

I hope that everyone has a great New Year in 2009!! I have great expectations of things to come and I am looking forward to what the future is going to bring.

Hard work and dedication are the keys to success. Enjoy life for what it is.... it is OK to have a "bad" day and not make good food choices. The important thing is just getting back on track!!
