I had a good week at WW -----FINALLY--- I lost 2.2 lbs and I actually feel that it was due to good habits - preparation, writing things down. I'll know if this is going somewhere when I weigh in next week. I really could use a good motivational 2 weeks in a row!! I've been in a slump for quite a while. This week the meeting focus was on the upcoming holidays... I am sure it will follow the anticipation and preparation of the great meal, followed by how to recover from the holiday binge... I am sure that not everyone throws in the towel... I don't intend to this year. In fact, I've decided to make a big change and forgo the booze altogether (to keep me from dropping my guard - and save pts for food) AND really try to stick to my points through the holidays. I don't want to maintain --- I want to lose!! In fact my goal is 10 lbs by the New Year!
Halloween was relatively painless. I've allowed myself one mini bar per day (if I want) and I've secretly been tossing out the excess candy when the kids are at school. It may sound cruel, but no kid needs the amount of candy they got this year. My daughter couldn't even carry her over flowing pumpkin by the end of the trick or treat! I think it probably tipped the scales at 10+ lbs. I let them have a piece after school and 2 for dessert. I don't think they feel deprived in any way. Thankfully my eldest opted for a clementine for a snack today-- a sign perhaps that the allure of so much chocolate has passed ....
On the fitness front, my sore skating butt injury is getting better each day. I was able to make it through Spin class yesterday and I felt pretty good this morning when I walked the dog. My sisters and I have signed up for the Jolly Jaunt 5K Dec 2, so I'll be running again. I plan to increase my cardio to 4xweek. It's hard to fit it all in with the kids ever busying schedules, but I know it has to be a priority. --- I have to be a priority.
