Being Honest with Myself About Weight Loss...

Today I'm being owning up to the fact that losing weight during the holiday is NOT my goal....

MAINTAINING my weight is :)

I'm not trying to hold out for the typical "New Year's Resolution" but the fact of the matter is that I have been in and out of town three times in the past four weeks and I'm just off.

• My menu planning is off
• My water consumption is lacking
• My visits to the gym are wanting
• My sugar cravings are off the charts
• My desire for cooking has waned

I'm just being honest.

Now, in a perfect world, I would have the self-discipline of a monk and be able to rise above the mentioned issues and continue. Well Christmas is a less than a week away and I'm declaring a truce with myself.

I vow to make sensible choices and look for natural opportunities for exercise. The weather down South has been wonderful and strolls with the boys have been nice. I'm willing to make the trip the gym but given the inconsistency of our schedule the next few days, making it at 5am everyday probably won't happen.

I'm making peace with my inability to be perfect.

Having said this, I really can't wait to get back into my routine. I think the lack of weight loss has been depressing.

I weighed in last weekend having gained a pound. I'll be weighing in every Saturday to keep my eye on my weight.
