Marathon Mom

152.6 this morning. I was down to 151.8 last week, so I’m almost back there again. Yay!

I got home from work last night and my daughter had made several big batches of cookies to give to friends for Christmas. And of course, there was a bowl of “leftover” out on the table for family. Not cool. Not cool at all. I made her bag them up immediately!! And not just to keep them safe from me (or me safe from them!) but also because my 7 year old is allergic to flour and dairy - and sugar cookies are loaded with both! And I don’t know many 7 year olds that can resist a big bowl of cookies with color sprinkles on them. I know I can’t!

So, that disaster was averted. And I went and did 90 minutes on the elliptical instead. When I was done, all traces of the cookies were gone (thank heavens!) and I was able to get a few things done before snuggling in bed to watch “Its A Wonderful Life” - one of my most favoritest Christmas movies ever. Over all, it was a good night.

I thought today was starting out not so great, but it’s actually been ok. It’s just after 4pm. I’ve already put my 2.5 hours in on the elliptical. I just had sushi summer rolls for late lunch/early dinner. Work hasn’t been horrible - which is saying a lot for being the store manager of a Toy Store at Christmas-time! I feel optimistic about tomorrow morning’s weigh-in. I’ll be just that much closer to 150 and breaking thru that barrier!!
