SantaClaustraphobia - again! Already!

It is that time of year again. Time to get serious about my fitness level. I know most people think about this in the spring, but I am not like most people.

My work is doing SantaClaustraphobia again - the fear of looking like Santa Claus. Our motto is 2 and no more. If you gain less than two pounds over the holidays, you get a free t-shirt. As some of you know, I'll do almost anything for a free t-shirt!

Last year I lost about 8 pounds over the holidays - from two weeks before Thanksgiving to the middle of January. I am sorry to say that I gained it all back over the Spring and Summer. So the only place I have to go is down.....our office is having a competition with other offices for bragging rights to the team that looses the most. Hope I can contribute to their success!

Oh gosh, what a difficult time of year to try not to gain weight, let alone lose any. Good luck to you!

Your crazy. :)

I find that my enjoyment of the holiday is in large part due to the kind of food I get to eat. You are truly a stronger woman than I. I'll make you a free T-shirt.

It was very interesting for me to read that post. Thanks for it. I like such topics and everything that is connected to this matter. I definitely want to read a bit more on that blog soon.

Hehehe - Heidi, she'll come wash your windows if you make her a shirt! :) Just kidding!

Daisy, Melissa is a willpower kind of woman - she can do this. Besides, it gives her an excuse to be mean to me and make me go to the gym at 4:30 in the morning.

On second thought, you're both right. She's crazy!!! :)

Twice i have lost weight during this season, and I really felt so much better that when I over-do it on the desserts!! I hope I can have self control this year! God bless you.

I was looking back thru my old blog and it was about this time last year that I won your fabulous crocheted hat. We've had some really cold temps this past week - even snow flurries Sat. - and I am still enjoying my hat you made. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
