Merry Christmas Eve Eve!
Whew. I've got some confessing to do. I've not been careful at all since I've been back. I'm back to eating cereal every day, back to eating my usual 2 slices of bread instead of 1, I've not been paying attention to food and on top of that and I haven't been on a run ONCE all week. And I have that 5 mile race tomorrow...eeeeep! It's been an extremely indulgent, naughty 5 days. It's also been an action packed 5 days too, I've had plans every single day that have had me up and out of the house. I've done a fair bit of walking and standing, so it has definitely not been all spent stationary. Today is my first day in the house, but the nephew is coming over to make a gingerbread house. Whenever I have been here in the morning and able to run, it's been pouring it down with rain. Now I remember why I used to take running breaks in the winter in England.
Because of my race tomorrow I'm not going to run/exercise today since knowing my luck I'll pull or twist something. However after tomorrow I need to get back on track with my good habits. Kinda went a little crazy there... Not been eating TERRIBLY but just not mindful.
However I'm having a great time being back! Mum and Dad were thrilled to see me and I think they're enjoying having me around! I've met with a couple of friends and it's been great to see them and catch up. I also went to Christmas markets, which to my surprise just hadn't changed at all from before so I felt like I had done it all before. It was my third time walking around them so we did them fairly quickly since I skipped a load of the stalls having seen them before. I picked out my Christmas present too, I asked for a watch
and I found this one. I initially had 5 to choose from but this one won from the 5. Originally I wanted a black face, but this one just felt really sturdy and I loved the design. Plus, light charges it so I won't need to replace the battery!
This is our last couple of days in the challenge, congratulations to everyone who finished! My weight is a little up from last week by 0.8 lbs, considering the travelling and the lack of mindful eating/exercise it's not as bad as it could have been I suppose! I said to myself before I arrived I just want to stay in the 160's, so far so good. I'll be unleashing another challenge on y'all soon so keep a look out for it!
