Heading into the biggest time of the year…

It’s Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas to you and your family. I’ve had a great week. I’m down in weight, fat and up in muscle and my running is going very well. I stopped in to see Lisa at Physician Weight Loss Center last night on my way home from my radio show. I had to go and see where I was at before I went into the Christmas weekend. I want to have a standard so I know how much “damage” I do to myself over this crazy weekend. My current stats: down 18.6 lbs and 13.5 inches! I’ve also put 148 miles on my legs since November 1st. I think I’m the most proud of that. It was a huge goal of mine to get my running lets back before I start training for the ½ marathon I want to run. It will be my first ½ marathon in a long time. I’m also not done with that number. My time period goes til Christmas day and I’m planning on running this afternoon and then also getting up in the morning to get a quick run in before the chaos starts!

I did have my first drink yesterday. We had our last radio show yesterday and Don finally convinced me to have a drink, so I had a very light bloody mary and it was delish! Then later last night, I went to a little get-together at another friend’s house with my best friend that was home for Christmas. I ended up having two more drinks. (I just know that Lisa is going to rough me up for this) I didn’t feel bad or bloated after the bloody mary, but I didn’t feel good at all after the other two, very sugar and thick drinks. YUCK! I did feel bloated and just icky. So when tomorrow comes, I’m quite certain that I will do just fine. I don’t really need cookies and desserts but if I want a little, I will have a little. I’ve already requested an egg scramble for Christmas breakfast at my mom’s tomorrow morning and I’m taking a huge crock full of yummy veggies to roast in the oven and I’m sure that if I eat mostly that, with some type of protein, I will be happy and satisfied.

But the wild card comes on Sunday. Tom and I are leaving bright and early to go to Lambeau to see the Packers play. I’m super excited. Tom and I haven’t done anything like this in a long time. My dad is watching the boys for a couple days and we get to go and relax. So my diet isn’t going to do very good on Sunday. I really want to eat pizza (and once again, I’m sure Lisa is going to give me a time-out or something=)) I will report back after I get back and then report after I go and see Lisa and see what kind of damage I do to myself. Maybe I will be able to catch a run on Monday after we get back.

Have a super weekend, Merry Christmas and Go Packers!!!
