Today's Weight: 165.5
Loss/Gain: -2.0 lbs.
I think I've reached my holiday limit of extra curricular activities for the year. :) I'm not overly booked, but I'm at my limit for 2012.
If anyone asks, "Ms. Leah can you..." I have no problem saying, "No." as of today. :)
I'm saying all of this because the extra busy hustle and bustle going on around here this year finally lead me to a point I didn't want to hit with regards to my healthiness journey.
I have not exercised since Monday. That is not to say I haven't been on the go, on my feet and staying busy all day, but I had to make a conscious decision to let the gym slide for a day or two..or three to complete some Christmastime projects.
That is to say, to complete them and not let my house go to pot. I've learned that if I'm busy staying involved in things and my house goes to pot I become a stressed out wreck, and none of the events I'm involved with are worth that kind of craziness.
I don't regret skipping the gym. I miss that I didn't exercise, but I have been so productive getting things done these last three days that it was worth the sacrifice. Plus, it made me be even more careful about my eats, because I knew I wasn't burning all kinds of cardio calories.
Which is where I go back to by weigh-in. 165.5 oh how I've missed you!
With about two weeks left in 2012 I most likely will not hit 159, so I've decided if I can at least finish down near my lowest weight of 164 I will be content. This week I ended up dealing with lots of stuff I put off doing (see procrastination post below..) so I couldn't get to the gym; however, next week I should be able to make it at least 3 days.
This is an ongoing journey, and Christmastime is part of the journey. As always, I'm not giving up, but giving in to the reality of where I'm at right now.
So, now I leave you with two things I finished this week (that I wanted done the first weekend of December..lol) that I'm totally thrilled with.
Have a wonderful weekend and thank you all for checking in. I am truly blessed by the friendly support of blogland friends. :)
Note: Credit and tutorials for wreaths:
Those wreaths are so pretty Leah! We've been super busy with all kinds of musical activities which still aren't over!!
