Christmas Challenge: Week 12 Weigh In and Rants


Well holy crap ladies, it has been a rough ride these last few weeks. I am STRUGGLING to get back to eating clean and healthy, especially when my friend gives me a whole bag of homemade toffee and I worked until 9 without dinner. Oops, the bag is gone. I ate the WHOLE thing in one day! My weigh in was pitiful. I lost .2 lbs last week. And to be quite honest, I'm shocked that I did even that! It'd been a week full of chocolate covered nuts and other office goodies. This week has been a little better, except for the aforementioned bag of toffee. Although I haven't been able to get to the gym because I've been at work until 10 the past 2 nights. And it looks like tonight will be a repeat performance. But tomorrow, just wait, tomorrow I will hit the gym hard. I haven't been lifting as regularly as I used to. It's been a good 2 weeks since I did and that makes me sick. So tomorrow night, it's on.

Now let me explain why my workouts have been scarce the last week. Not only am I working late, but my husband finished the semester so he doesn't have to do homework every night. Which means he's home and available to play! Sure we don't really do anything, but I really like him and like spending time with him. During the semester, I don't really see him. He goes to the print lab just about every night and doesn't get home until about 10. So now that he's home for a few weeks, I want to see him as much as possible. Sure that could be an excuse to not workout, but I think it's a legitimate one.

On Saturday my husband and I are going home, to my home, Southern California, to visit my parents. We will be there until the 31st, and I am a wee bit panicked about eating healthy and especially working out. My mom has been doing Weight Watchers for EVER so the food options aren't really that bad, but our neighbors bring goodies over and I'm out of my controlled environment, so it's hard. I'm hoping my Gold's gym membership will be good in CA, so I can go to the gym while I'm there. I have big plans of waking up and going to the gym first thing. We'll see if that happens.

Cara, just be sure to go into your current GOld's and get a guest pass. I have to get one every time I go home. And the gym there is GHETTO. Really, It's bad. But I go when I'm home and at least jump on an elliptical and do 20 min. or something. Sometimes just going for a walk in my parents neighborhood helps. You can totally do it!

Have a good trip home and remember as long as you have a plan, a little deviation from it won't sabatoge it all. Merry Christmas!
