A hard few days

I honestly have to say that I terribly missed writing in my blog. I was dumb and did not bring a journal that I could write my feelings in during the time I was on vacation with Scott's family. I needed to write down my feeligns and things during thansgiving. I think I would have done better. As it is every holiday season, it was VERY difficult to stay away from the pies sitting in open view, days after Thanksgiving. It was very difficult to say no when someone asked if I wanted pie. Even when I saw someone eating pie I thought, "man that looks good, I am going to get some"! Really? REALLY!?! I am so masocistic! Not only was I angry at myself (am I now just trying to convince myself that I will do better next time (I have three weeks to prepare), but I made myself sick! I had headaches the entire time, as well as stomach aches and gas, really, why do I do this to myself? I know that dairy products and sugary foods make me feel sick. I do. I have been like that for years. And yet, I ate them... all week. I was good on thanksgiving in that I did not get seconds (something that I have never done). I had sweet potatoes instead of regular, which were tasty (I made them. Yummy recipe!). But, it was just the pies that I am mad about. I also missed a day of working out because we went shopping instead. The hubbs and I did go running on Thursday and Saturday. I also went to water aerobics on Saturday with my mother-in-law. I loved it! My arms and back are still sore from it. It was a great workout. So technically speaking I did okay with working out, although now I am exercising 2 hours, at least, a day, so I did not really do enough while I was away. Oh well.

When I called my mom on Friday, angry with all the sweets I had eaten, she told me something very wise. She said something to the effect of "What's done is done. Just do better from now on." So, I am going to remember that as I start this week. I am going to do better. I am going to work harder this week than I have ever done to eat right (thank goodness I am away from those pies!), exercise, count my calories. The plan is to do four days weight lifting, with six days cardio this week. This is my plan:

Monday: Jillian Michaels No more trouble zones, the firm cardio overdrive, interval run, 3 miles, with hubby in evening
Tuesday: The firm hard core fusion, Jillian Michaels Metabolism booster, interval run, three miles, with hubby in the evening.
Wednesday: Metabolism booster dvd, The firm cardio party
Thursday: Jillian Michaels No more trouble zones, the firm cardio overdrive, interval run, 3 miles, with hubby
Friday: Hard core fusion, Metabolism Booster
Saturday: Six mile run, metabolism booster.

I did not weigh myself last Friday for fear of gaining weight. I really hope for just no weight gained this next friday. If I lose some weight (which obviously is the better option) then I will be all the more happier. Wish me luck, and I will keep you posted! Off to defend my weightloss, and workout detox from bad eating habits last week. Love working hard! Happy first week of the Christmas season everyone!
