Yeah, yeah....I know I'm late with all this stuff...but there was no way I was going to take time out of celebrations to hop on the box and post our going-ons WHILE they were going on. We BASKED in it! And now, a couple weeks after the fact, I find some time.

You wouldn't know it from the looks of things here, but Huz and I actually swore of fats, alcohol, sugar and carbs after 4pm for the month of December. INSANE, I know. TORTURE, yes. But, if we could get through this time of year restricting our diet, any other time of year would be cake-parden the pun. We had 3 cheat days-my Birthday and Christmas eve/day. I'm proud to say we both have lost 20 pounds since the end of summer. This is my first public fessing up to a mortifying 25 pound weight gain from my 1.5 years on Adderall/Wellbutrin for my ADD. THANK you, Adderall, for the sketched out EXHAUSTION.......and thank YOU, Wellbutrin, for making me not give a shit that I was packing on the fat! Neither of which did DICK for my ADD, btw. And then there was the 4 months of debilitating low back pain and double bursitis in the shoulders last year... I swear, I hit 40 and the curse BEGAN!!!!! Anyhoo... FU, curse, it's OVER. I have svelted and I'm back to being ME.
LET'S EAT!!!!!
