Post Thanksgiving Update and Weight In!

So I've made it past 2 of the 4 major holidays, leaving only Christmas and New Year's left to conquer. Thanksgiving was great, filled with lots of family and delicious food, and the best part about last week is that I lost 1.5lbs! That's right, I lost weight during Thanksgiving! The secret you ask? I treated last week like any other week. Thanksgiving Day I didn't graze all day and had a small portion of everything. For my family's traditional fast food lunch, which we have because we're too busy cooking dinner to make lunch, I had a Carl's Jr. Famous Star with no cheese and no mayo and only ate ¾ of it. Friday I was back on track and even took my boyfriend to the Superwoman Boot Camp post-Thanksgiving Burn Da Bird Workout. When asked to comment Alex said "no" with further harassing Alex had this to say about boot camp "Boot camp was a difficult and rewarding experience. It continues to impress me that Desiree hasn't missed any sessions in the months she has been going." Awwww how sweet! Although, truth be told, I did miss the Friday session after the midnight showing of Harry Potter but that's it. Before I start to ramble too much, my main reason for posting is for another weigh in. This morning I weighed in at 197.5 lbs., which means I hit my goal of being under 200lbs! So far I've lost a total of 26.5 lbs! I was actually pretty shocked that I made this goal. The first part of the month was very slow .5lb- 1lb a week and then the past two week's I've lost about 4lbs. There is something just SO satisfying about weighing less than 200lbs, some mental threshold where above 200 I'm Super Fat, and below it I'm just Fat. Whatever it is, it feels damn good. So by New Years I want to be below 190, which will be a challenge, but I know I can do it!
