I've been MIA for a few days and I have to be honest - I haven't stepped on the scale and now I'm afraid to. Had a great weekend in Washington DC which means I ate things I shouldn've and drank some good wine. Also, I got to celebrate my first holiday since my diet began and I have to say I didn't fare well. This is a holiday that revolves around a wonderful meal of comfort food & candy - I can pretty much say no to the candy but my job is to bring the dessert to the family dinner. Their lies my problem - cookie batter!!
The good news - I only ate one meal, I skipped the filling and the garlic mashed potatoes. The bad news - I ate some of the crisp, wonderful skin from the turkey and it was amazing and took me to my happy place. The other bad news is I drank a glass or three of Pinot Noir (which also took me to my happy place). I did get on the elliptical last night but I don't think that will offset the calories I consumed.
So today I will drink my meals (unfortunately not Pinot Noir or Vodka) and tomorrow I will fast. Weigh-ins are Thursday and I have to hit my 20 pound mark. I did buy the Body for Life book this weekend so I'll start to read up on that 12 week plan and see if that might work for me. In the mean time I'm blasting my music, dancing around my kitchen (maybe that's the problem - I need to get out of the kitchen), and with the warmer weather I'm heading outside to do some walking. I offered to run with my daughter (she's on the track team) but she is not OK with running with someone with a bladder problem - KIDS - the smallest thing bothers them... So for now, off to the elliptical I go.
