Christmas cookie apocalypse prevention.

 

It's official! After 9 weeks, my medical hiatus from exercising is over. As soon as our weekly weigh-in was complete this morning, The Bestie and I hit the gym [sidebar: I only gained .4 lbs during Thanksgiving week, which I'm okay with considering how much food I consumed]. Despite my nervousness, I did 20 minutes on the elliptical. I know that's not very much, but the important part is that it was completely pain free and way more than I've been allowed to do in the last two months. What was even more surprising is I realized how much I missed working out. I'm hoping that is a good sign for my future. I've been successful on my weight loss journey so far, but I'm excited to see how things go now that I can get into a workout routine. Afterall, I'll need all the help I can get to avoid tacking on the pounds during the Christmas goodies invasion.

Now, if only my Saturday could end as great as it started. Fingers crossed for a Gamecock win tonight!

Saboteur.

It was bound to happen. Seven straight weeks of using my Wonder Twin powers for good. Unfortunately, that all changed this week.  My kryptonite? Indian food....and chinese food....and tailgating food....and pub food....and a cupcaking. Hey, what can I say? Guess I don't believe in doing anything half-assed and that includes sabotaging my diet. Go big or go home! Annnnnnd that's exactly what my scale number did :(

No worries. I'm back on track, working the program, and ready to undo the damage done this week. Splurge eating myself into hork mode, is sooooo not worth it. At least now I have increased fortitude to face the impending holiday season.
