Fly-by

1 - My weight is the same as before the holidays - woo hoo!
2 - I was up early enough to pack a lunch. I was actually awake since about 5am listening to the wind thinking my windows were going to shatter any minute.
3 - I have another gym session planned for today
4 - Only two parties to go to between now and the end of the holiday season!

Not so good.... I went to my mom and Rick's for supper last night cause Jeff was at the hockey game (Canada vs Germany) and I can not control myself around Quality Street chocolates. I had 8. Yes 8. That easily wipes out my gym workout from yesterday. Then Rick made the yummiest shrimp risotto for supper. At least I said no to the ice cream. That's gotta count for something right?

So while I am quite happy that I have maintained my weight over the holidays (which was my goal) I've realized that I'm using the fact that I've been consistently going to the gym as an excuse to indulge. I know it's Christmas. But that's no reason to eat 8 chocolates in one night. Or keep nibbling on all the yummy foods. Or for meeting friends to go out for lunch and supper and making not so good choices. I'm getting right back into it today... my goal? No chocolate for today! I'll report back tomorrow.

Happy to report

That there is no leftovers, chocolates, cookies...anything of the sort in my house! The one good thing about not hosting anything durign the holiday season is there is no leftovers. And I haven't given into the sales of boxes of chocolates and yummy good stuff. Nada. Nothing of the sort in my house.

Certainly while we were socializing I wasn't the perfect WW girl, but I wasn't that bad either. My pants are a little tight, but I'm back on my A game today. I'm sending my hubby to the grocery store while Carson and I take a nap and I only have two more get-togethers between now and New Year's - and both are after dinner drinks, so I can be sure to eat healthy beforehand. Plus, I'm not drinking this season so it makes controlling my drink intake pretty easy.

I don't even know if we are goign out for New Year's. My parents have offered to babysit, but everyone is staying pretty lowkey and not to sound like a stick in the mud, but if I'm not drinking I don't see a point of staying out late and getting a sitter.

I'd like to hear people's impression of Wii fit. Jeff won a Wii through work (which is kind of funny, we're not really the video game type family) and the only game I would be interested in for me would be Wii fit. It's kind of alot of money though if it's not really worth it.

Just do it

I'm trying to hard to get out of going to the gym at lunch. I have all my stuff here, and I LOVE the class.

But I'm so cold. I just called my husband and tried my best to get him to meet me for a big bowl of Viatnamese soup, but he turned me down. Which is what I was kind of secretly hoping for, becuase it would force me to go to teh gym. How did I brave the freezing cold on Saturday and am trying to avoid going to a wicked gym class. I'm insane... that's how.

Update: I went to the class at lunch, and so very happy that I did.

In other news: I'm having trouble keeping a journal. It just seems I never have it with me when I need it. Where do you keep your journal? In your purse? At home? I suppose I could keep it at home, I always (and I mean always) bring my lunch, so I know what I'm going to eat during the day. And I can write down any incidentals (ie: cookie from last week). I need to get back into journalling, my weight is hovering around the 157 (of course I'd rather it be going down, but at least it's not going up!) and I know the holidays are going to be tricky. Does anyone feel like being a scrooge and not attending the 1982734687 christmas parties just so they can avoid the food? Isn't that HORRIBLE? I want to avoid seeing my friends and family and celebrating the best time of year becasue I'm afraid of the FOOD???
