The Holidays....

I know that I have been a bad blogger and probably will be in the future as well.

I need to write a blog for myself...as a reminder of what challenges I have ahead of me.

As everyone knows, the holidays are upon us and carry-ins have begun at my work. It also doesn't help that my boss and co-worker eat fast food A LOT. I have to understand that what I am feeling now is much better than how fast food tastes. Fast food is a semi-permanent result to a temporary desire. I don't need to eat that crap. Yes, my lemon pepper fish will not taste as good as a taco or french fries, but it's all about the desired result.

I got a stationary punching bag for Christmas from Kyle and pink boxing gloves from my trainer. My trainer and I have already decided that I need to kick up the cardio. So, we box for a full hour when I train with her on Wednesdays. She wants me to box 3 times a week for an hour at home now that I have the punching bag. Additionally, if I can find a way to get to the gym 2x a week to do 30 minutes on the elliptical, I'll be in good shape. My trainer decided that we need to not worry so much about the weights. The toning is going very well, but I need to be losing weight.

I REALLY need to get my happy butt back onto sparkpeople.com and log my food. It's too damn easy NOT to!

So, my goal for this week is to make sure that I don't "let myself go" just because it is the holidays. NO BUYING CANDY FROM BIG LOTS JUST BECAUSE IT IS NEXT DOOR. No matter how badly I get pressured from co-workers or family, I WILL not give up. I am making progress and don't want to slow myself down.
