It's been tough trying to focus on diet and exercise for weeks now and it SHOWS. Had a huge family crisis - thank God made it through that one. Well, for the most part. All the while semi-preparing for a company trip to Atlantis without knowing if we would actually be able to leave or not.
Then some company cancelled almost last minute before Thanksgiving, family crisis came to a head ON Thanksgiving, then short visit from another family member from across the country, then the trip.
So I haven't exercised in probably two weeks now and haven't eaten great for longer. The pisser about that is I'm not even eating stuff most of us may indulge in at this time of year (except Thanksgiving and the following couple of days). I've not made any cookies or fudge. Nope, wasting all these calories on stupid packaged snacks!
Today's plan? I'm going to work out - I'm not going to promise it'll be a GOOD workout, but it'll be A workout. I'm also going to pull out four water bottles and set them in front of me to be sure I drink at least 8 glasses of water today. And finally, I am going to NOT eat any snack other than almonds, fruit or cheese after dinner tonight. This is my fresh start. Haven't weighed in for weeks, will in a few days. I checked the day after we returned from vacation (full of food and drink and very little actual exercise) and was up to 135. A full 10 lbs over my desired weight. But to be honest - I was really fearful of seeing 140 on that scale, as quickly as I put on weight. So as the saying goes, It IS what it IS.

D, that kind of stress is a killer for our healthy lifestyles. I so kn ow what you mean. I did the same while dad was in ICU...they brought around this cart full of cookies, chips, candy, soda, water, tea, and coffee so that we wouldn't have to leave his side for anything, and boy, oh boy, did I indulge. So I hear ya on that! Love you, and if you need me...As for the 10 pounds...pfft, that'll be gone in no time! Hugs!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3
