This has been a week of gingerbread houses and yummy goodies. How did I lose weight? I ate pizza, and I even had a 13 point Taco Bell 7-layer burrito for lunch yesterday!
This has also been a horrible week of tragic loss, and I am an emotional eater. I think that's where the burrito came in. BUT I tracked that burrito! And I tracked every little goodie that went into my mouth. Well... except for the bits of licorice I kept picking off of the gingerbread house. Hahaha. Anyway, I worked around it and made my little indulgences fit in. I didn't exercise like crazy, but I did fit in 3 or 4 days on the elliptical. I am pleased!
And now Christmas is coming. I am so worried. We will be in California for a week from Christmas Eve to New Year's Eve, smack dab in the middle of my last two weeks for this month. I need to lose 2.8 pounds in the next two weeks in order to reach my 2nd month goal of a 10 pound weight loss. How will I do it? I know we will be eating out. And eating yummy food at parties. I have to stay in control! I checked the hotel's website, and they do have an elliptical. If I completely lose my mind, I might exercise a few days while we are there. But then we do have some very active days planned, like going to the zoo. That's a lotta walking. I tell you what - I will be happy if I just maintain my current weight while we're there. But then when we get back I only have 3 days until my weigh in. And if I don't meet the 10 pound goal, I will be behind. And then I will have to lose more than 5 pounds in the next month! See how I'm working myself into a frenzy here? Ugg. I'd ask you to pray for me, but it hardly seems appropriate.
