Let's begin the last push!

I survived the holidays!
But not quite in the way I wanted, I was home all of 3 days before I got massively sick. All I was able to do was sit on the couch and kind of stare into space. I spent all my time trying to sleep, being exhausted and sneezing with a headache and runny nose. I have no idea what I had but I'm just glad I didn't have an asthma attack. I think the entire week I was sick I only ate maybe 3 cans of soup and drank coconut water (thanks to my wonderful wonderful mom).

I was supposed to cook Christmas dinner but of course being as sick as I was there was no way that was happening. So I put on a mask sat in the kitchen and tried to lay out all the plans for my mom. Thankfully on Christmas day I finally felt almost like a human and my appetite returned!
I was able to enjoy the food with my family and the menu was great:
-Turkey with a honey glaze
-cauliflower mashed 'potatoes'
-string beans
-bread-free stuffing
-sugar-free cranberry sauce
-stuffed mushrooms
-cherry pie

It was yummy, I also made a set of plates to have the dinner on which I think my mom enjoyed.
While I was home I wanted to enjoy all my favorite places to eat, but my stomach shrunk, so I was only able to eat about one meal a day. I went to a french restaurant and had a steak sandwich with goat cheese and sweet potato fries, I went to Red robin and hand a burger with fries (I could only eat one basket! I used to be able to eat 3). I had chinese food at the chinese restaurant with my mom, had yummy thai food at two different places. Went to a buffet which wasn't that great but I was able to limit my consumption a bit (but not enough I left feeling well over stuffed). Also had crackers with goat cheese and jam which is one of my favorite things to eat (there was a ton of refined cabs to be had!)
 Even with all of this I not only didn't gain weight... I lost! Granted the net was one pound but still it put me under the 160 mark. I've been back at school for just under 10 days and now I'm shooting for the 150 mark. I weighed myself this morning and it says 153.2! I just want to keep going I don't have to go to class on Fridays so I think I'm going to try and do kung fu every friday. It will hurt but at least I have the weekend to recover. If I can build more muscle then I know I can crush my weight goals.
Once I reach my goal weight of 145 (maybe 140 but I don't think I've ever been that small....) I'm going to loosen up my diet restrictions and see what happens. As long as I still weigh myself every day then I can catch myself if I start gaining like crazy again...

Well 2015 I'm going to make this work!
