Dec 04, 2013

Made it through Thanksgiving pretty well until we hit the movies.  I know how terrible theatre popcorn is for me, but I just couldn't resist.  Ate too much (that would be anything over a handful) but at least 1) did not finish it and 2) did not get the free refill to take home.  But tonight is weigh in night, so the proof will be in that.  It is my "low" week--constipated, munchie, etc.--so my goal is just to lose a little or maintain.  Standard cycle.  My work out has been more difficult lately, Jesse is pushing me to do new things with more weight, so while that is good, it in some ways demotivates me.  I don't hurt like I did when I first started--then I hurt for days afterwards, now I just hurt during.  But I am seeing the difference.  Even he saw my little muscle bulge in my arms.  So I keep reminding myself that this is all about quality of life for 20 years down the road as well as improving my metabolism now.  The fact that I keep going is testament to my needing someone expecting me to be there because left to my own choice, I sure wouldn't be going.  I did stop yoga for the winter as it was across town and I just hate driving that in the dark at rush hour and in bad weather.  I'll pick it up again in spring.

Update--I did manage to lose a half pound despite myself and the constipation.  So that means no gain over Thanksgiving.  Now, let's do the same for Christmas!
