Claygirl - thought I would let you know I tried my Nutribullet this morning! It works SOOOO much better than my blender. I haven't made a smoothie in like two months. They weren't appealing to me since it has been cold out, but I already feel so much better this morning than I have been lately and I haven't felt peckish at all yet today. Anyway, I hope you feel better. I think it's wise to take a break from working out, and the tea sounds like a good choice. Add some lemon - I hear it helps with weight loss, plus it's good for colds
Take care of yourself and get well!
tinneranne2 - Better late then never! I bet those 4lbs will come off easily, especially since you're just getting back into the swing of things, and it will get you off to a great start for the new year.
I'm feeling pretty good so far this week, and once again hopeful for a new low, but my optimism has proven me wrong the past two weeks so who knows what will actually happen. I'd like to do really well this week and next, so that I can relax a little come Christmas (just a little!). Work is busy, and that honestly helps keep my mind off food. It helps that my boyfriend is back in the losing weight mindset.
I told myself I would start training for a 5K come the beginning of the year and it honestly can't come soon enough. I really need to buy shoes which is probably the only reason I'm not starting sooner. I really suffer at the gym when I don't have a goal to work towards, but I know I won't be able to afford the shoes until after Christmas. I'm not a runner, but I'm excited to try something new!
