Now lets be real here. I haven’t gone off the rails and eaten thousands and thousands of calories over my goal! Not at all! But I have eaten over my caloric goal on many days...my goal is around 1200 to 1500 calories a day. I have been around 1700 to 2000 calories most days. So definitely NOT crazy eating! So I personally feel 8 pounds is unwarranted! But it is what it is!
Yesterday started a new month....and I’m ready to rock this new month. Even with lots of weight loss obstacles! I can do it!
So what obstacles do I have this month?
* Well first up is my birthday! (How on the world will I be 47 years old??). It’s hard to say no to my own birthday cake! My birthday comes with a four day weekend from work...and I struggle more on weekends with my eating! Oh and we will be going away for a night or two during that weekend! ~~sigh~~
* Speaking of birthdays...December is birthday month in our family...we have two more birthdays to celebrate! Three if you count my fathers birthday...though he is no longer with us. :(
* Christmas potluck at work....food galore!
* Christmas Eve...Jason and I celebrate at home
* Christmas Day celebrations with our families.
* A second long weekend...5 days at Christmas...once again...difficult to keep in line on the weekends!
* whatever random celebrations and events that pop up!
So it won’t be an easy month! But I am determined to lost SOMETHING this month! I am focused and I can do it!!!
