Thanksgiving in Canada!

So, I just returned from Thanksgiving in Canada. It was a nice, much needed get away, but of course that came with a very UNWANTED weight gain. Yes, unfortunately I gained 5 pounds- ugh! the story of my life. But I know it was because of the big dinner, and the firsts, seconds, and thirds I went back for. My Aunt in Canada is such an amazing cook it's hard not to go for more! I was definitely stuffed, but I just couldn't help it!

So today I'm here once again, with my lack of effort as well of lack of loss, and I have to put my foot down- I keep gaining, and trust me- I know, and feel the extra weight. I can feel it when I go to put on my clothes and they don't zip or button, or their so tight they dig in, and I am so uncomfortable! I know because my body almost aches from carrying around extra weight. My legs definitely hurt- they always hurt from my accident in 2004, but the extra weight they carry around- they know! and it's uncomfortable, and they crack and ache, and get stiff. Time to change that.

I'm taking a stand against getting fatter! Soooo... things are going to change immediately! I got back yesterday, so I weighed in this morning. I had a goal to lose 4 pounds this month, but I want to lose the extra weight I've gained. Same things- more water, lower calories, and exercise! Wish me luck, I am going to need it!!

**EDIT**
Went for a 2 mile walk this morning around my neighborhood. Got my exercise in. Yay!

Also drank 16.9 oz of water... more to go! Another 16.9 oz (not anywhere near enough!!)
