Christmas Morning 2006... video and pics

Hey guys!

Hope you had a very mery Christmas! I'm still plugging along at this weight loss/maintenance thing. The biggest thing I've learned is that if I want to stay at a weight where I feel the best about myself, it is something I will constantly have to work at... day after day after day. Sometimes that stresses me out and other times I come to grips with it and am fine with it. I go through a lot of emotional ups and downs, but all in all I really am happy with how far I've come through my own dedication, Nutrisystem's amazing meal plan, and the support of those of you on the NS support board as well as all the amazing friends I've made during this journey. Thanks to all of you for your neverending support!

Here are some pictures and video from Christmas morning this year. I'm not quite down to the weight again where I'm most happy, as I tend to go up and down 5-10 lbs quite regularly, but it's still a definite improvement from a couple of years ago when I was over 180 lbs for Christmas morning. What a transformation. (You can see the old Christmas video if you scroll down to my posts from last January 2006). Hope you enjoy the videos. The Christmas morning ones are at my house with Mike, my dear husband of almost 10 years, and Tyler-age 9, and Katrina- age 7. The later Christmas Day videos are at my parents' house. They gave my kids guitars this year, which was a lot of fun for all of us. :)
