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!

I'm so glad to hear Ben is back and you are enjoying being together again! I have to agree Christmas is such a hard time of year to eat healthy. I pigged out on some cookies late, late last night and I feel awful today now, too much sugar! I've missed you lately, I'll have to give you a call soon. Merry Christmas!

I'm sorry to hear you guys have some yucky crud going on at your house. And the same week you have company, too. Ugh. Enjoy your Christmas and New Years - don't go crazy - because you're right, it's only once a year. So eat some chocolate or whatever! Then go workout.
