AWell I got the nerve up and weighed myself this morning. It wasn't good. I've gained 3 lbs since last Wednesday.
It's ok though, it was a good holiday and definitely worth the temporary gain. I'm back to being good today, so hopefully those pounds will fall back off quickly.
**Warning: Small depressing vent below**
Some things that are going on, relationship wise, are starting to get to me. I haven't mentioned it on here, but Chef moved out a couple weeks ago. We're still together, our living situation just wasn't working. There's just not enough space here, add on a couple other things that weren't working, and things were getting really stressful. So, he decided to move back to the apartment building he was living in before. I'm not happy about it,
I understand it, but I'm nowhere near happy about it. Since I'm a huge emotional eater, this is NOT good. He's still coming over 2 or 3 nights a week, and those nights are good, but the nights he's not here, I get all depressed and want to stuff my face. He was here all Thanksgiving weekend, but is going back to his apartment tonight. After having 3 or 4 cheat days in a row, going back to normal eating, especially when I'm sitting here
alone and in a funk, is going to be hard. I know I can do it, it just sucks! I really wish there was an "easy" button for relationships and dieting. No such luck though.
Ok...enough of the depressing stuff!
I went to the grocery store a bit ago and got some good stuff. I also did some shoveling before that. I'm sure I burned a few calories doing that! I REALLY have to start exercising regularly. I need to find something that I actually enjoy doing, or can at least try to trick myself into believing I enjoy doing..lol. I don't mind doing the treadmill, it just gets so boring. The spot I HAVE to have it in (since there's no space here) is facing a wall. So, I'm basically staring at a wall for however long I do it. It's just awful...lol. I have to start doing something though!
I decided to help get myself on track, I'd set a new goal for myself. Since it's a holiday/food filled month, my goal for the end of December is to get down to 190. I think it's doable!

Sure, be aware of your indulgence, but stressing about it isn't going to help. This time of year is just one of those times where you should really enjoy life, family, friends, and not be so consumed with the stress of calorie counting. There's 11 more months out of the year for that kind of thing
Glad you're having a good holiday, Jen!

Thanks, Greg! You're right. I'm not going to worry about it. It was a holiday, and I enjoyed myself. Nothing wrong with that.
) I gotta be good until Thanksgiving though, because I'm pigging out that day! It kind of makes me a little nervous, BUT it's Thanksgiving and I'm going to enjoy it. I'll probably skip my cheat meal on Saturday to make up for it. The pumpkin pie alone with be worth it!
