I'm not sure if anyone recognized that but my blog title is the name of the rapper, Drake's Mixtape. :) However, it really reflects how I'm feeling right now. Ever since Thanksgiving I just went down the tube basically. THe last two weeks were as if I was fattening myself up for a feast, LOL I haven't weighed myself in two weeks and i'm honestly scared too. I'm assuming i'm back to what I weighed when I started this. I have to lose 10 pounds by middle of January to get back on track. I know it's doable but I feel lost. I think my plan of action should be to just move and watch portions, perhaps I won't go balls to the wall with everything right now considering how much baking and eating I'm going to be doing over the next few days or the next week. I guess I should just focus on getting back on track and if I don't win the DEC/JAN month then perhaps it will all come together at the finish line, right?

You can do it, Katlin. Break the 10 pounds up into smaller stages so it isn't so overwhelming. Try some cardio when you have 5 minutes to spare (jumping jacks during commercials, for example) - make sure you keep doing all the healthy things that you already know to do. I've struggled with weight loss for years - eventually things will just click and it will become more clear. Good luck to you!
I am in a very similar position... Thanksgiving and the end of a semester (I am in grad school) had dire ramifications for me. I have 11 pounds to lose before the next weigh in which feels overwhelming. I just bought a FitBit last weekend and I have been using that this week . It is so much fun and is so competitive (in a healthy way). I have been so encouraged to find a way to be active and just hit my 10,000 step goal each day this week. I have even connected with some DB individuals on it. Which has been wonderful. I think it's the only thing that will keep me going through the holidays. But I too feel overwhelmed with just how much I need to lose by round two. I want it, and I want it badly. But it's soooo hard with the holidays. Thanks for posting! Was nice to find someone in the same boat with me. While I am so happy for everyone's success this round, it's nice to relate to someone else who is struggling. Round two, here we come!!
