I gave myself the month of December off. Kind of. I stopped tracking. I stopped worrying about food so much. I didn't go crazy, but I didn't stay focused either. I kept exercising as much as I could considering the craziness of the holiday schedule.
In the end, I think I've gained 5-7 pounds. Yuck. However, that's the price I pay for the mental break I had. The positive side was that I was totally conscious of the decisions I was making and totally conscious of the consequences of those decisions. I made the choice to do it and I can't say that I regret it. It's a shame to back pedal a bit, but at the same time, I was burnt out.
So, I enter 2010 with a renewed sense of purpose. WW at work starts up again soon and I'm glad. I'm ready to track, to eat healthy again. I've actually already started with the healthy eating part. And I've been doing the Jillian shred - which is killing me, by the way. But, it's all good. I'll keep it up and hopefully, will be ready to start tracking when WW starts back up.
I don't want to lose site of the fact that I entered 2009 at 227 and I enter 2010 at 197. Can't wait to see what the number is going into 2011.
