Getting Back on Track
Well, I succumbed to the holiday and ended up having around 3 or 4 really bad eating days in the past week or so. I made a concious decision to cheat on Christmas Eve since Matt and I had planned on having cheese and chocolate fondue.
I did better, for the most part, on Christmas until Matt broke out the champagne. It’s been a long time since I drank anything and I really let loose. It was fun, but I paid for it with a bit of a hangover this morning.
So, today, I am back on program and dealing with the inevitable withdrawals. I made it to the gym despite my hangover and made it through 65 minutes on the elliptical. It was much harder than usual today and my heart rate was higher than it usually is, but I’m going to attribute that to being dehydrated from all the alcohol.
I am really craving carbs today, but am trying to wait on dinner and just drink water to help the hungries.
I’ll go to deep water aerobics tonight so that I can burn some extra calories, and hopefully, cross my fingers, I won’t have gained any when I go in on Wednesday.
If I list my weigh in from last Thursday, I stand at 45.6 lbs lost. All I have to do is hang on to that and I will have reached my personal goal of having lost 45 lbs by the end of the year.

Just surfing by, passing here by accident, however I have to pat you on the back.
That’s a very worthwhile effort you have achieved.
All the power to you from a Canadian who never had to deal with weight, but I realize the challenge it is to many and it looks like you are a winner.
Have a good Christmas realizing you can do what so many others can not.
