Oh Christmas you kicked my butt!!!!

I don't have much to say other then the last few weeks have been horrible- weight wise. I've gained three pounds in the last three weeks. Good thing the new year is coming and I can start over. I've eaten everything in my house without a thought. Well not really. I avoided the really bad stuff. Fudge, cookies, chocolates but went to town on the chex mix and meat and cheese and crackers. I have 15 lbs tco go. Its time to focus. A new year.

This year I will...

Get back to my goal weight
run a marathon
complete a mini triathlon

Crazy thing is not that long ago that would seam impossible but not only is it not impossible but i will do it!

Crazy

Only those who are trying to lose will fully appreciate this

I lost 0.8 this week but that could just be due to wearing lighter clothing but I will take it. So after my Weight Watchers meetings I am usually starving. I usually haven't eaten much because it is my weigh in day and with the new launch we've been staying later then usual. So Monday I left, Starving!! I went to the Maverick to get a soda but while backing up my car died. Like, dead dead, no power. The lights went out and the car didn't even try to start and I was in the middle of the parking lot.

I had to call my husband to asked to be saved on honestly I wasn't upset about the car I was upset that I was SO HUNGRY and I was stuck at Maverick where there are like no healthy choices. My husband did not grasp the severity of the situation when he said, "just let me put the kids to bed and I will come and get you." UGH!!!! Why doesn't he understand that the hungrier I get the worse choices I will make when I get home? I just imagined myself inhaling the entire kitchen when I finally got home after he spent an hour trying to fix my car. So I threw my hands in the air and went into Maverick and bought some chicken strips and counted it as 9 points.

Frustrating

Thanksgiving- smanksgiving

So after thinking I'd completely blown it over Thanks giving- turns out I only gained .2 which I am really happy about. It just goes to show that you never know until you step on the scale. I think a lot of the time we think we've blown it and we just give in and give up when really its not as bad as we think.

So Thanksgiving is over but Christmas is right on its heals. I would really like to lose over the holidays but I have to put down the bag of mint chocolate holiday candies.

Its a holiday not a holi-month.

Running- running is not happening much with the cold weather and dark mornings. My goal is once a week on saturday a long run outside and a few times a week on the treadmil but only 30 min run. Other then that just Zumba and spin. I hope that gets me through the winter.
So anyone who reads this... what is your biggest struggle/concern about the holidays.
