I survived Christmas.

Dec 28, 2008

Christmas has come and gone, and I survived...  No throwing up, no sickness (from foods anyway), and I'm still in my weight range.  I weighed myself today, and I'm 212.  For months, I have been bouncing around between 208 and 214.  Given all of the salty ham and meats I've been eating, it would seem to reason that I'd put on at least water weight.  And with all the sugar, it would also stand to reason that I could gain a few holiday pounds.  To balance it all out, I've been really good about drinking my water.  I've also got on the treadmill (only once or twice, but still better than nothing). 

I'm not stressing.  Normal people overindulge and gain a few pounds during the holidays.  And just like normal people, I realize this style of eating is only temporary, and I'll get back to my routine.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about staying at this weight and what that would mean to me.  I don't want to stay this weight, but could I be happy if I do?  My goal is still set at 180.  If I could reach that in the next 6 months, I'd be very pleased.  If I stay where I'm at, I will be disappointed... even knowing how much I've lost.
