The best time of year can also be the hardest

(It's Monday night)
I'm hand-writing this blog on Monday night sitting on the ouch watching football. I just got done eating a bowl of chili (homemade) and a bunch of green beans and I read thru the Hudson Bagel & Coffee Co's newsletter that came in the mail today. It was a heck of a week last week and I'm trying desperately to maintain control over today. I guess it is just the time of year when life gets crazy and overwhelming at times.
I'm preparing for a family Christmas with Tom's Family this Saturday. Once again, I'm trying to stay on top of thing.
So last Friday, when I went into Physicians Weight Loss Center, it was a Hi-5 moment! I dropped more weight and all in fat - way to go Lisa! (happy dance:))My weekend was great. I did a lot of work, got a lot done and felt like it was a productive weekend. I decided I wanted to head on in again today (Monday) to PWLC to weigh in again and see how successful my weekend was.
It should have been a Hi-5 moment buy by obsession with weight really shadowed over my success. I did gain over 2 lbs, BUT I gained 2 lbs of muscle. This is awesome. I'm back up to 113 lbs of muscle which is where I was when I started my journey at PWLC. I can probably thank 19+ miles of running last week and a kick butt training session with Tera Busker of Fitness To Go.
But I did gain a little fat so I need to WATCH IT! I need to get just a little more disciplined on the amount of Mochas and lattes I consume even if they are non-fat and sugar free. I wish Lisa wouldn't have told me I could have them every once in a while. If you give a kid an inch...right!
Speaking of running - I'm doing awesome on my challenge. I'm at week 6 and I'm at 98+ miles as of this morning. Even the treadmill is feeling good. Cheryl (my sister-in-law) ran outside last Friday night in the snow. The run was going well, but the snow, wine and slippery conditions made it hard and we only ran 5 miles.
As I look into this week, there is a lot on my to-do list. I'm going to put a smile on my face and keep moving forward. I'm gong to tighten up on the food I'm eating and continue to pound the pavement or treadmill wheel.
Thanks for the recipes, keep sending them. I've got good stuff in the works to share with you so stay tuned! Thanks for following.
