M I A

I've been missing in action since Ben came home from his deployment the beginning of this month. I love when he comes home, of course, but it really messes up the routine! It's easy to let things like working out and eating well slip when you're celebrating every day. . . and when you have four weeks of vacation!

My weigh-ins the past three weeks have been good. . . up and down, but an overall loss. On 12/5 I lost 1.4, on 12/12 I gained 1 and on 12/19 I lost 1.6.

Today was not the best eating day! We celebrated my baby's first birthday this week and I passed on the birthday cake, but after dealing with croup, food poisoning and stomach flu this week, when I saw the cake sitting on the stove today, I ate a HUGE piece without even thinking twice about it. I let other treats get the best of me as well and I completely lost track of my points. I attempted to salvage the day with a late evening workout at the gym, so hopefully that will help.

I'm not letting the bad day today get me down, I'll just try to do better tomorrow. And if I see a gain this week, it's okay . . . I'll work on it next week. Christmas is only once a year!
