I'm still here
It's been a while since I posted, but I'm still around. You all know how the holidays can be sometimes, with all the running around.
I did okay during the holidays. I splurged a little and enjoyed myself. I may have gained a lb or 2, but I keep forgetting to weigh myself each morning. My clothes still fit, so I guess that is a good sign. 
Ha.
I've been kind of bummed though, because my weight isn't really going anywhere. I just got to keep on trying though, and hopefully I can get rid of these last 15lbs.
I need to find something to motivate me. I don't really have anything in particular right now that does. Anybody have any good ideas?

Visual goal tracking works for me
Hey there. Good to see you back to posting. I know the holidays can be hectic. Great job on making it through with no major gains!
I find that having visual goal tracking helps me. I make a workout calendar.... sit down and plan my workouts out in advance and have some kind of a reward system (it usually varies by the month) to help me see when I am doing what I am supposed to and when I'm not. Sometimes I use those little shiny star stickers. If I do my workout, my calendar gets a star for that day. If I do my workout AND stay within my calorie range, my calendar gets TWO stars for that day. It's not much, but I think we are kids at heart, and love seeing little rewards for 'doing the work'
Hope this helps.
