Thanksgiving was great. I got up early and did 45 minutes of cardio at the gym. Man was it busy with people lol. It was easy to zone out and get in a good workout because there were a lot of cool Thanksgiving shows on TV. I do not feel I went overboard with food. I had a little bit of everything like I wanted and I only had a nibble here and there of desserts. I did however have another plate for dinner (our thanksgiving is at lunch time) and looking back I should not have done that.
Some of my family was not able to make it for Thanksgiving
so that cut down my chances of someone noticing my weight loss and making a
comment. Finally about an hour before everyone left my aunt told me I looked
great. I was so happy because I thought for sure no one was going to say
anything if they had not said anything by now. I can’t believe it. I just can’t.
Meeting all these small goals just validates the hard work and makes going
forward so much easier. When I want to
veer off track or question a workout, reminding myself of the upcoming goal
really seemed to help this time around as Thanksgiving approached. If you read
my blog daily you can get that hint when I mention my Thanksgiving goal
multiple times.

I will spend the rest of the weekend enjoying my time with
family and on Monday its back to hard work. The month of December is a little
hectic for me due to my work schedule (I have a few 13hr days this month :-/)
but I would like to set a small goal for myself. I would like by Christmas
morning to have lost 8lbs. That gives me exactly one month from today to loose
8lbs. I think I can do that. I will commit to working out a minimum of three
days a week and sticking to weight watchers WITHOUT cheating or going over
points. It is only one month. I can do this. I will do this. And on Christmas
morning when I step on the scale and see I have met my goal, it will be the
best present I could ever give myself.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Great job!!!!
