There Once Was a Girl.....


There was a little girl,    
Who had a little curl,

Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,

She was very good indeed,

But when she was bad she was horrid.

--
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


It's so true. It's so me! When I fall off the wagon I REALLY fall off.

I have indulged a bit much this holiday season. Definitely not like in years past though. I am not gorging myself or totally pigging out. I'm still keeping my portions smaller and eating a healthy lunch and breakfast, but I am indulging a bit much on treats: cookies, fudge and candy. I am not making excuses here, but I will say that I have been so busy and didn't make time to workout and if I'm not working out....I'm not as disciplined in what I eat.

Luckily though, Santa brought candy for my kids that I don't really like so that's good. Less of a temptation.

I'm getting after it next week though. I'm going to go hardcore and I'm not falling off again. Ever. I loved working out hard the first two weeks we started this. I actually felt GREAT. Plus, basketball season is starting and I want to be able to play more than 2 minutes at a time. I can't run for long periods of time yet, but by this time next year, I'll be a whole new me and I can't wait!

You know, I have that same curl....

Seriously, though, even the steps you've taken are good ones. Maybe you didn't lose weight this holiday season, but maybe you didn't gain any either. That's a win.

Do what you can where you are. You'll get there!

I didn't lose any, either, but I didn't gain any. I wish I was already down like twenty pounds, but it's what I do in the long haul that makes it a lifestyle change. You have really impressed me with the salads and getting to the gym--more than me!
