With Christmas rapidly approaching, it’s not surprising for me to say I gained. What is surprising is for me to say that I only gained 0.2 of a pound. I know! Shocker! I guess while I’ve totally lost my mind and gone overboard in many areas of my life lately, I must have been subconsciously compensating for it in other areas. Eating more candy – less dinner. That sort of thing. Not healthy, I know, but it’s only a couple of weeks out of the year, right?
I must state for the record that I firmly believe that Reese’s sneaks copious amounts of highly addictive substances into their holiday peanut butter/chocolate goodies (trees, eggs, hearts, etc.). I mean, that’s the only explanation I can come up with.
Right now I’m pondering how I’m going to get to work in the freezing rain. Our driveway is currently coated in ice. Of course, I should have gotten up a bit earlier, and I should also not be piddling around (considering I’m sitting here with wet hair in my robe) and should be getting ready instead of writing this.
I’m also pondering how I’m going to get off work at midnight tonight and then make it back into work tomorrow morning. I’m thinking I might go in at ten, but am wondering if that’s realistic. We only have to work a half day thank God – the company closes at noon – and my boss is letting us come in early to get out of there sooner.
I’m really looking forward to the long weekend. I’ll have most of tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, Sat/Sun. WHOOHOO!
Okay, that’s it. I can’t stall any longer. I must pull out the blow dryer and get my butt in gear. Hope you all are having a happy Tuesday!
Update: I had no problems getting to work, thank God, and somehow even ended up arriving almost half an hour early! They’re calling for more snow tonight and tomorrow morning. Whoohoo! Unfortunately, it’s supposed to be so warm on Christmas that none of it will stick around.
Hi, Pamela –
Congrats on the minimal gain. I had a 1.4 lb gain at my WI last week and I’m sorry to say I might be headed for another one. This winter weather has got me eating more and exercising less. Boo!
You have a great blog and website and WOW on your weight loss so far. You are AMAZING and a true inspiration!
p.s. Just in case you track it, I found your blog in The Anti-Jared’s blog.
Not to bad at all for a gain! It is the bad time of the year for all of us that fight this battle!
I had a .8 gain this week. And then this evening my neighbors showed up with a big plate of homemade Christmas cookies. I’ll be glad when January gets here and the whole nation shifts its focus from eating to fitness.
tiz the season and youre doing pretty damn great.
hang in there, enjoy and we’ll all be back to routine far too soon.
Miz.
Merry Christmas, Pamela. Your gain is so small it’s virtually the same as maintaining — which is GREAT this time of year.
So glad to hear you made it safe.
