I’m still at 31 pounds off and 31 inches off.
Really slow progress, but during the holidays, I think holding our own is pretty good, considering all the social eating we’re doing.
The thing that is different is my exercising.
I’m trying to change my activity each day, hoping to get my body’s attention. I’m doing –
- Yoga and abdominal exercises one day
- 35 minutes on the elliptical trainer another
- Wii Fit Plus exercises one day each week
- My walking video one day
- then start again from the top
I’ve said some disparaging things about my walking video, but I have to tell you that, though I find her annoying, I DO feel I’ve had a workout at the end of the 2-mile marker. My goal is to do that, plus the exercises she has AFTER the two miles one day soon.
We’ve been having a lot of friends over lately, for the holidays – but also the fact our son is home from Thailand for the first time in 3 years and we want them to reconnect. We’re having a blast doing that, but it all involves eating something. At this time of the year, serving Nutrisystem diet food or even snacks is definitely a no-no, so we’ve been eating outside our normal parameters many days during the week and will continue this until after our son leaves. If we can just MAINTAIN, rather than GAIN during this time, I’ll be really happy.
I hope that you are having great times with friends and family, too. This is usually a bittersweet time of the year for us, having very few family members left and the ones we have far away. Our son has brought us joy this year and we’re enjoying every minute.
