Wow. What an amazing week this has been. Last Monday I was in a car accident. I can't even begin to say how scary that was. I was shaking from the adrenaline for hours afterwards, didn't get to bed until 3 AM because I was so hyped up, and ate absolutely everything I could put in my mouth. Talk about comfort eating. Then, last Wednesday, I got a message saying that the adoptiong agency I was working with had located my birth mother, and that she would be writing me a letter to introduce herself. OMG!!!! My world has been tilted a little bit off its access, and although everything is good, nothing seems right or normal. I made no progress on the diet this week, but I didn't lose any ground either, so I guess it isn't a total loss, all things considered. I did go ahead and bump up my exercise to help combat the extra eating. OMG, OMG, OMG. So much more to come!!!

Did my first eliptical of the new year. 3 miles, 16 minutes, 10 seconds. Not too shabby, but I was completely wiped afterwards. Had to do it though. Jeff wanted beef burgandy for dinner. Oh yes honey, a nearly all carb meal is perfectly ok, sure. Or not. I like my volume to calorie ratio a little larger. Thank god I like huge plates of veg.

Got the new Sketcher's Shape Up shoes today. I was so excited to get them, I went and walked at the mall for an hour or so to kick the tires, so to speak. Then, after a quick Subway sandwich, I went and did a brisk half-hour exercise walk at the Y.
The thing is, the main thing these shoes do is encourage you to be a heel-toe walker, which I already do. Have done ever since marching band in high school. Go figure. "There was this one time, at band camp..." I'm not sure they're going to transform my body, but I can't see that they're going to do any harm either, and they're so fun to walk in that I think I'm more likely to just DO the cardio. God I hate cardio.

So, December was a wash, but it was nice to eat anything and everything I wanted for a few weeks. I'm reading a new book right now, the Enlightened Diet, that I'm hoping will help with some of my emotional eating and obsessive dieting problems. It's well researched anyway, and I enjoy that. I'm also looking forward to getting back into more healthy eating habits again. While it was emotionally satisfying to indulge myself for a few weeks, I don't feel as good physically as I did two months ago, so that's my incentive right now.
I am so proud of myself though! First, I made it to a size 4 this last year, something I hadn't thought physically possible. I have NEVER been a size 4. Not since junior high. Second, I stuck with my New Year's resolution last year for the entire year. I really did make physical activity a part of my regular life routine!! Third, this is the first year in almost 10 years that I haven't made it a New Year's resolution to lose weight. Don't get me wrong, I have resolutions about eating healthy & working out, but for the first time in a long time, I don't have a number in my head. Instead, I have patterns and behaviors I want to restablish, and I feel good and confident about my ability to do so.
So, my New Year's resolutions for this year are:
1) Continue to work out 4-5 times / week - work on increasing intensity & duration
2) Limit the number of times eating out to 2x per week
3) Continue to make healthy food choices (limiting to 1200-1500)

Ok - November was a TOTAL wash. I was at a conference in Orlando the 2nd week, in Jamaica at an all-inclusive resort the 3rd week, and traveling for Thanksgiving (and super sick to boot) the 4th week. Sadly December is shaping up to be the same kind of debacle. :-( At this point, I'm just looking to hold to 140 pounds, maintain my exercise, eat well when I can, try not to beat myself up when I can't, and get back wth the program after the first of the year. Not a stellar goal, but so long as I still fit in the size 4 pants, I'm not going to complain.
