I’m back!
And more focused than ever. I made it through Thanksgiving without stuffing myself for maybe one of the only times in my life, and it felt great. I still enjoyed myself and tried a little of everything that I felt was worth it, but I passed on the things that didn’t seem worth it or didn’t look good. My mother in law is a fabulous cook, so I tried all of her homemade dishes, but passed on the pie which she admitted was out of a box. In fact, I didn’t have any dessert the whole week except for a tiny piece of cake last night to celebrate my father in law’s birthday. It was very rich, dark chocolate cake and I couldn’t even finish my slice.
I also managed to work out 6 of the 7 days that I was gone. On Thanksgiving day, I ran an 8K in 53 minutes with my husband. Two other days I ran 3 miles, and 3 days I went to the YMCA with my sister in law. It felt so good to stay on track even in the midst of traveling and not really being in control of my meals.
Now, with a few weeks until Christmas I am recommitted more than ever and would LOVE to weigh 160 on Christmas morning. I can’t think of a better gift to myself.
