Confessions of a wayward EPer
Ok...so I have been totally missing in action for the past few weeks and I have been completely off the wagon. I did go to Curves last night for the first time since the Saturday before Thanksgiving. There are a lot of reasons for my lack of focus. I have been really busy with all the holiday stuff. The week of Thanksgiving my sis & her DH & their 2 dogs were here from Wednesday through Sunday and I had to cook all or part of 3 different Thanksgiving meals. Plus we has one breakfast and 2 luncheons at work that week. Plus, Curves was closed Thursday-Saturday. Then last week, we had stuff going on every night it seems...Christmas shopping, guests at the house, grocery shopping, more Christmas shopping. Just one thing after another. This weekend we are going to Tennessee for a wedding. I am still going to try really hard to fit in 3 Curves sessions this week.
I can almost forgive myself for not exercising but my eating has been horrible and that is unexcuseable. I know I am the one letting myself get buried in these awful habits again. I have got to get myself back into the swing of things! Like, I said before, I am either all or nothing with things and since I got myself in trouble at work I have been steadily slacking off on the whole weightloss thing. I have got to find a way to keep myself focused but not obsessed with this thing. DH has been encouraging me to go to Curves and the gym but that only makes me feel like he is pushing me because he is tired of having a fat wife. I know he just doesn't want me to waste money paying for the membership and not using it (LIKE HE DID!!!!...hypocrite). Ok....enough ranting....

keep with it
It's a hard time of year.. Holiday parties everywhere.. crazy family parties and dinners.. you even have a wedding to go to.. that in itself is crazy at this time of year. Try to get through the holidays.. try changing something bad you normally do into something good at least once a day, till the maddness is over. You can do it.. don't get depressed.. we are all here for you!

I agree ...
this time of year can be so hard, but I try to look at exercise as a way to give me more exercise. I find I do more all day if I just get that exercise out of the way in the morning. But dang, sometimes the holidays in themselves can be a workout!

hey there
I hope you're able to get back in the swing of things. I say, do the easy stuff first:
I say get out a calendar, and mark some stuff down
2 - drink water
3 - eat breakfast
4 - get your exercise clothes out of the drawer and pack a gym bag for curves.
The point I'm trying to make is to start with the easy stuff. This is SUCH A DIFFICULT time of year! Wishing you well. -emi

We can do it
I am in the same boat as you, I too am trying not to fall off the wagon but so much is going on. Just promise me you will hang in there? I will if you will, we can do this!

Something in the local water
Hey Girl,
I could have easily written the same post about missing in action... ok no action. I've been a slug and a totally off the wagon. I also have a wedding this weekend. I say we make a pact to get back on track the last couple of weeks of the new year... lets try to get some walking in too. I'm so proud of your weight loss though.. I just checked your stats and you are way down from the last time I took a peak. Lets get back in the swing of it and lose this weight.

same boat
hey honey,
seems like you are not the only one in the this boat. There are loads of people going through the same thing. I am one of them myself. I still eat well, but I have slacked off on logging into the site and exercising. But I am not letting the wagon drag me anymore, I am hauling my fat ass back on, so come on and join me girly. It's gonna be hard, but not harder than it was when we started out!!!
good luck

This is such a tough time of year for all this stuff. Try doing one simple thing every day to make yourself feel better, whether it's drinking all your water, or doing crunches right before bed. Accomplishing little changes will hopefully give you confidence to make the bigger changes easier to do.
