I had a pretty stressful weekend, especially yesterday, and even though I am usually so good w/ being in control of my eating, I binged last night. At first it was out of true hunger, and then it got to the point (almost 1400 calories later) that I was trying to drown my emotions and then I felt really uncomfortable and overstuffed. I never want to feel like that again.
Even after last night's eating spree, I am a lb down from last week, and I suspect I am holding on to some extra water weight from the carbs last night, so as long as I am on plan this week, I should be seeing 170-171 next Monday. I am sooo close to my Dec. 31 goal. I really want to make it.
OK, today's a new day, yesterday is behind me. I'm going to be going on a 60 min. 4+ mile walk in a half-hour. We finally got the
entirely decorated this weekend (my Mother and I had to do it....I live w/ a bunch of lazy teenagers
). Stockings are hung by the chimney w/ care, balsam fir wreath is decorated w/ red and gold christmas ribbons and pinecones and hung on the front door, the bannister is bare and is waiting for garland and bows, the house is a mess like a tornado just came through so I will be doing a lot of cleaning today and tomorrow & my 18 yo sister is coming home for Winter Break on Wednesday. Her finals are over tomorrow. I can't wait to see her!
Mocha, I'm in the same boat as you.....haven't done any Christmas shopping yet. I'll be crossing off my gift lists this week, I promise!
Good luck to everybody who are taking finals and writing papers. My advice is to take exercise breaks to clear your head and destress in the middle of studying and paper writing marathons. I'm so glad I'm done w/ school...although I may go back for a Masters w/in the next two years...I'm tossing the idea around in my head.
Christina!
