An almost perfect week
Well, the perfect week is ruined on the first day. I came home from the gym and wanted chocolate. Sitting on the counter was a partial bag of chocolate chips (I used them to make toffee for my hubby) and the Christmas cookies. I put them in the freezer to get them out of sight and then saw the toffee that I made. I tried 2 pieces and then put the rest back. I so much want to throw in the towel and eat my way through the holidays but I’m not going to.
Santa yesterday was fantastic. Our older son answered the door and he couldn’t see who was coming b/c the wreath was covering the window. When he opened the door and saw Santa instead of shouting and being all excited he was in shock. He just stared at him in disbelief and told Santa to come in. Once Santa was inside he perked up and got all excited. After Santa left the boys wanted to look outside and see his sleigh, I didn’t want them to see that Santa’s sleigh is a green Dodge Durango! Somehow we were able to keep them busy so Santa could make a quick getaway. I’m just hoping none of the other kids in the neighborhood happened to look outside and see Santa stop by but not pop in and see them. But it was a wonderful afternoon and a memory that I’ll always treasure.
I hauled myself on the treadclimber; it had been a week since I had been to the gym. I worked out at home but it isn’t the same. I really need to find ways to get on the treadclimber 2-3 times a week, it does the best job of changing my body.
Another major snow/ice storm heading our way and they’re predicting another one for Thursday. I’m guessing we won’t be in school Wednesday or Friday. Ugh, at this rate we’ll be in school until the 4th of July. Anyone else having flashbacks to last year?????
Progress toward workout goal: 128/250
This is why I don’t set expectations for “Perfect” weeks. One slip up and you’re “ruined”. How about a “good” or “focused” week. A little slip doesn’t throw that off!
Good luck staying on track the rest of the week - this is NOT a valid excuse to give in to the holiday temptations. (Although I admit you have a tough environment!)
and good job on the exercise
Yeah! I agree with round as that’s the first thing I thought upon reading your post. You put the toffee away after two pieces! That’s incredible you know! What would you have done in the past? Me? I would have eaten every bit of toffee in the house and then have gone on a candy rampage. You showed restraint and went to the gym.
You can do it - youve already showed will power. Keep it up as we are all cheering you on
