- Packed a lunch to take to the Santa Market so I wouldn’t be tempted by the food there.
- Still able to get into a size 12p jeans. They’re snug, but I can still zip ’em up, which means not all is lost
- Shaking the “gotta run” OCD as I’m having orthopedic issues. May revisit causes after trip to NYC, but I want to have a pain-free week in the Big Apple.
- I may not be running, but I kicked up the elliptical workout quite a bit today, voluntarily.
- 10,000 shopping steps – gotta love the Christmas season!
- Seriously resisted buying some ice cream at Publix today!
- Made like Eleanor Roosevelt and did the think I thought I couldn’t do – my last training before vacation! Slept late, so much to do + dog in bed, but I pushed through.
- Unable to overcome craving for chicken fingers, so split them with someone instead.
- Resisted stopping for Cookout milkshake.
- Saw someone who hadn’t seen me in a while commented on how good I looked. Made me feel better about some of the vacation/holiday weight I’ve gained. Have to remember the positive — I’m still much thinner and healthier than I have been in years, despite a small gain.
- Even though splurging in NYC, still trying to drink water instead of sweetened drinks.
- Bought some healthy snacks and breakfasts for the room in NYC.
- 10,000+ steps
- 10,000+ steps
- 10,000+ steps
- Really enjoyed a room service burger without getting too OCD over it.
- Got back to gym after NYC break.
- Instead of making food for office party, brought my Keurig and low calorie apple cider kCups.
- Seriously resisted Chick-Fil-A.
- Seriously resisted Chick-Fil-A again.
- 10,000+ shopping steps
- Walked to The Oak Table from Soda City instead of driving it.
- Threw out some very tempting cookie dough at Mom’s house.
- Made a clean Christmas Eve dinner instead of eating out.
- Seriously resisted stopping at Walgreen’s for a salty snack on the way home from Christmas dinner with friends.
- Stocked up on fruit for the office to resist residual holiday treats
- Made it back to the gym after missing a few days
- Completed a Lexington Medical Center blog post early – trying to work on reducing stress and being early for a deadline is a serious stress reduction!
- Had coffee with a friend – also trying to connect to others more (and in person, not on line)
- Started a time management book and doing daily exercises to coordinate time better
- Sure enough asserted myself with someone. As hard as it may be at times to speak against the status quo and/or in defense of myself, I’m finding that I do myself no favors by letting something fester.
