I curse the holidays and all their tasty treats!
so I fell off the wagon, again. ouch. it hurt, and was dirty, but i’m back up in the saddle again. I HAVE to be…i’m getting married in a little over 5 months. I don’t want to be feeling the way I do right now on my wedding day. Curse the holidays and all the tasty foods they present to me! I am totally disgusted with myself - I would eat stuff and not even be hungry!!! We’ve decided that next year, we are only having Christmas Eve at our house again, and will have breakfast with his family Christmas Day. Other than that we are staying home. We were exhausted and totally over ate because we had to go somewhere every day. Next year will be much easier to not over do it if we are eating at home - more control for me. Anyone else have this issue around the holidays? Where you eat just because it’s what you’re expected to do? yikes.
So i’m starting my exercise regimen up again today and kicking it into high gear. Monday, Wednesday, & Saturday to start, and then next week i’ll work in some shorter spurts on Tuesday and Thursday. Will give myself Friday and Sunday as my rest days, unless I miss a regular day because something comes up, then those will be make up days. I’m also writing down what videos i need to do on the calendar - I feel it will make me more accountable if it’s written down, staring me in the face taunting me if I don’t do it.
The good news on top of getting motivated again is that my Fiance is feeling the holiday eating bloat, so I know he won’t be complaining too much about my healthier cooking. His jeans are getting rather snug lately and he hates it. Sadly he can drop off weight just by taking in a few deep breaths - 0k, not that easy, but WAY easier than I can.
ok, thanks for listening!
I stayed home mostly for the holidays, and that was one reason: to have control over the food! I just think it gets crazy after a while, how much the holidays revolve around eating and eating and eating.
How are your workouts coming along? Does your fiance exercise with you?
well that is what we are doing next year! Good for you for staying home and foregoing to eating frenzy that IS the holidays anymore! i’ll have more control over my eating because i won’t get that guilt trip from people when I don’t eat!
nah, FI doesn’t exercise with me. Thing is, his arms, legs & butt are all muscle. He’s just got a gut, which if he did some crunches everyday and slowed down on the pop/beer he’d lose in not time!
My workouts are coming along. I’m starting off slow, with the short workouts every other day. I’m hoping that if I approach it that way I will be less sore when I do the more intense ones and not have to have two days in between to rest my sore, weary muscles.
