Set up the dvd player downstairs… now I can watch Ghost Whisperer reruns while I tread the treadmill. It felt good to get back on it after many months of outdoor walks. Ok I was in denial for a while that my daily road walks were over for the year and put off the treadmill for too long. But, now that I’m back on it, it’s like running with an old friend.
My weight went back down to my happy 155.5 for maybe a week, but today it’s up again 2 pounds. Now that I have held steady in the 150’s since September, I am feeling pretty good about maintaining for the rest of the winter. The plan is to keep my weight here in the mid-150’s until Spring hits, and then… I just feel it in my gut… I will shift gears from “maintain” to “lose”. I really really like my weight now, but I know I will lose another 10 pounds or so. I can almost feel my body wanting to be a little lighter, like it’s meant to be in the 140-ish range.
Christmas is coming up quick! I can hardly believe I got all my shopping done, no last-minute scrambling… a miracle! DH & I wait until Xmas eve to do a marathon shopping spree for each other with a $$ limit. Have that to look forward to, which is lots of fun… we make it a race, and try to avoid each other at the small shopping center we go to. Looking forward to a movie and Chinese food on Christmas day. Avatar? Oh yeah baby.
Today I am making white chocolate peppermint bark-dipped cookies. I will sample more than one I’m sure, but knowing they are meant as Xmas gifts will hopefully deter anything more than that. Wish me luck!
