holding steady
I weighed 213 at my weigh-in yesterday, so that is .5 from last week. The week wasn't perfect, so that isn't too bad, considering the degree to which I successfully overcame temptation. There is no way I'll reach goal by Jan, but I figure that just maintaining through the holiday season should be OK. If I weigh no more when I return from Hawaii than I do now, that won't be such a bad way to start the new year.
The plan: be good all week! Next week there will be parties, and I plan to go off plan at the holiday brunch at school. Also, I traditionally celebrate the last day of school before break with an eggnog latte and a cranberry bliss bar at Starbucks. I have allowed myself these indulgences the past two years...it is what makes the plan do-able for me. Absolute deprivation is an untenable condition.
