Holiday in Review...
Well, I had a decent Thanksgiving... I ran my butt off and managed to feed 12 people at my house AND work a 6 hour day at the restaurant feeding a hundred or so other people. It wasn't great fun and all, but it really curbed my appetite since I was around food ALL day, you know?? I did not, however, eat well enough that I could even convince myself that I was pretending to eat well. LOL I really was convinced that I had done horribly-- I mean, I didn't eat as well as I usually do... but then again, I probably ate 10 times less than I usually do on Turkey Day, so that is a major accomplishment!!
In the end, though, when I went to my WW meeting on Monday night, I had LOST 3 FREAKING POUNDS!! How the hell do I explain that??? I ate French Silk Pie (3 slices over the weekend) and lots of Pumpkin Cheesecake that I had made. The Cheesecake was a WW recipie, but it was still 4 points a slice, and I had one pretty much every day from Thursday to Monday. AND, I ate turkey sandwiches with real mayo a couple of days, too. I think that the amount of stress, and the amount of activity I was involved in over the weekend were my saving graces. OH, but let's not forget the drunken night on Saturday night when I went out with a friend of mine to see a band we know... LOL...
I am finding myself get back into some BAD eating habits again, though. I need to get back OP and fast. I know that last week's loss was a fluke and it won't happen again. I know that stress and my horrible work schedule (working 60 or so hours a week) are driving these habits, but it's time to take back control. I have begun to snack a lot more often again, especially late at night, and have gotten out of the habit of eating breakfast. It's time to get back on a routine... I started working on it yesterday, but had a horrible day yesterday - not with regards to eating, but with regards to life in general. One of those days you would rather forget, you know?? So, I actually barely ate yesterday... finally had a bowl of soup and a salad and a roll at work last night. So today, I am back OP.
ANyway, I hope that you guys all had a great holiday... how did it go? Did you survive?? I noticed a lot of small gains this past week in your weigh-in's, but I also noticed quite a few NICE losses, too! I am proud of each and every one of us for working so hard at either losing, or maintaining our weights this past week. Let's keep it going... and lose more!!
