Dear Holiday Season,

[Erin P.]

YOU WILL NOT WIN!
I RAN FOUR MILES TODAY!
I OFFICIALLY HIT THE 40 POUND WEIGHT LOSS MARK (actually lost 42 total)!
DON'T MESS WITH ME. DON'T PLAY WITH ME.
I AM A FIGHTER! I HAVE TAKEN YOU ON... AND YOU WILL GO DOWN. HARD.

(I hope all of you are having great day by the way. And yes, I know it's easy to "smack talk" the holiday season on 11/6. But, I am going to try my hardest not to let my successes die b/c the food came out everywhere. And yes I know the food is awesome. I had 32 years to enjoy it. Now I'd like 32 years to focus on something else. Stay tuned for strength!)

Love, love, LOVE the smack talk!

The smack talk is good... we have all had the food before, it's not like we are tasting anything new, like you say been there, done that onto something new.

Love this post!

i love the SMACK talk! i think we all do it- even if it is silly- i think it helps to say it out loud or right it down where it has actual presence in the world.
