All of that said, my food choices were less than stellar and my exercise... but for walking a TON at Disney and two bike rides totaling 85 miles, I didn't do much. It was a lot of riding in the car, a bit of time on planes and way too much time eating and snacking.
So the weight has gone up a bit. I will do an official weigh-in this coming week after I finish with my bout of food poisoning. Thanksgiving dinner came and went with less than stellar results. The food was FANTASTIC as always, and my family puts on a great spread, but something didn't agree with me and I've been dealing with it since. 2 days and counting.
Also, a few weeks ago I pulled a thigh/groin muscle pretty badly. What is WORSE is I did it doing something stupid. My whole life, I've had no problem with flexibility or the splits. The millionth time I do it, I tweak something. I hadn't stretched, which hadn't been a problem in the past, but it did a number on me this time. And it wasn't for the good of anything other than "being able to do it". My age is just starting to show... these little bodily reminders that I'm not as young as I once was. It's finally healed up thanks to me having food poisoning and not being able to push beyond what I should. A forced recuperation if you will.
A month remains until Christmas and I want to bring it. It's completely possible for me to lose 8lbs in the next 4 weeks, if I seriously buckle down and want this. I'm chomping at the bit for want of being a healthier weight and thinner person. Time to get cracking!!
I'm considering doing Weight Watchers again as that's how I took off the majority of my weight the last time I had a baby. It worked. It was slow, but it worked. The exercise part I have down pat, now I just need to pair it with healthier choices and put the whole enchilada together. MMmmmm..... enchiladas.....
With gurgling tummy, I'm off!
