Almost a Month Without Any Real Progress
So...TOM was here and sucked big time. It's pathetic that I'm rendered out of commission for exercise for five whole days. The folks have the gym have probably forgotten what I look like. 
The other sucky thing is that my workout buddy and I are pretty much no longer able to coordinate our schedules so that we can work out together. She's doing great (read: she's been going by herself every day this week), but I have been in about two weeks. I need to get motivated in the exercise department before I up and lose all of the muscle tone (albeit limited) that I've developed. I sooooo don't want that to happen.
And gee, while I'm confessing things I might as well tell you that my eating has also sucked for the better part of an entire month. We've had too much take-out and I started up my snacking again. Not too much damage done...I've pretty much maintained, maybe gained a little and now I'm back to where I was. But the thing is....was it worth it? Here I am almost a month later with noting to show for it. I had seriously hoped to make goal by Christmas, but I may have blown that. It's seriously so much harder for me to lose when I'm doing weights...and I honestly think this last 20 pounds is going to be a LOT harder to shed than the first 40. Ironic, isn't it?
Anyway, the good news is that I have me eating under control once again. No late night snacking. No more take-out. No more being stupid! And, I actually FEEL better and the scale is moving again. I'm just hoping that the old body doesn't go into retention mode, though, thinking that I'm trying to starve it or something. I'm not actually, I'm just "Eating Clean" again, but considering what I used to be like this is probably cause for it to think it's starving. lol
Now, if only I can drag my sorry arse to the gym and get back on that bandwagon. I actually made it up to 4 walk, 4 run with my walk to jog program. Didn't think I would ever make it, but it turned out to be just fine. Who knows if I can still manage it after two weeks of not doing it, though. (banging my head againt the wall for my stupidity).
That's all for now. Hope everyone is working hard and seeing loads of progress.
