Hey!
Where is everybody?!
Let's gear up for the big push. I'm excited that in just a few short days, everywhere I look will be encouragement to reach my goals --commercials, sales, new books and magazines -- you name it, and it's all going to help!
We're starting by deliberately not buying a bunch of junk for New Year's Day. And I am determined that SuperBowl or not (probably not, my Pats are injured and beleagured), we are not having an eating free for all on that day.
I'm even determined to work out while I'm on my Vegas getaway. The hotel has a gym, so there's really no excuse. I can certainly get up early two days and work out before my girlfriend even thinks of going anywhere.
I'm going to be very glad to go home and tell dh that I did not lose sight of my goals, I had fun and kept working on feeling good. I'm just at work until 11:30 today, then it's home for TM time! Afterwards I plan on eating a healthy lunch, having a relaxing shower, and a little rest. Then it'll be time for my hair appointment, and then I have the rest of the evening to read a really good book. Ahhh! It's going to be a great day, and none of it revolves around food. That's a good feeling.
Tomorrow ds has a basketball game, so I will have the house to myself for an entire hour. I just like to enjoy the quiet. I'll put away a few decorations, maybe read some more, and relax. Tomorrow afternoon we have tickets to Disney on Ice Princess Classics
, so that's a great treat for me. Other than that our New Year's Eve will be extremely low-key. We will probably have pizza and salad for dinner and watch movies with ds.
So, I'm down .5 today (I'm really psyched because I had two rolls, a baked potato, etc. at Texas Roadhouse last night, so I expected to be up). That's the start of my push to the 160s! I stopped eating before 8 -- I even skipped my usual piece of chocolate because it was 10 when I realized I hadn't had it! And I drank 3 bottles of water before starting on soda, so I did pretty well with yesterday's goals.
One of my big goals today is to write down a new after work routine that will include working out. I say I intend to do it, but when I can check it off a list, it's much more likely to happen! I'm also sticking with drinking water, TM time, and not eating after 8. Once I make those three things habits, there'll be no stopping me!
I hope you are all feeling this optimistic and enthusiastic.
I know we are all going to see (or at least get in sight of) the 150s this year. Like Debra, some of us will even get to goal and stay there!
Let's pamper, play, and enjoy ourselves while we lose. This isn't a punishment, it's an opportunity (sorry for sounding so preachy, I actually need to hear all of this myself!
)!
I would love to hear about everyone's plans for the holiday and the New Year. C'mon, you know you want to share!
Let's get glowing with happiness for the New Year!
Maria
BUT know that as of next week GAME ON!!
--oh well, next week I am back on track! ).
I still love Disney and they're going to raise ticket prices if I give them the meanie eyes or not
