Heading into the Holidays

Weighed in yesterday and again no scale movement, at all, not even a .2 lb. I have been making better choices at what I'm taking home from work (I've had soup and salad like 4 days in a row, and plan on getting it again today). But I also have gone out for drinks with my roommate a few times this week. And sometimes drinks included dinner and I didn't make good choices.

Last night we had a talk about not enabling each other to make bad choices. We were both doing really well in the start of the year and summer, but have both been making less than stellar choices.  We decided not to ask each other to go to drinks or dinner and support each other in going to the gym more often. She also rides for "Team in Training" for cancer and her training starts in February so she is going to be totally back on the wagon after that and I need to follow suit!

I have decided to not deprive myself of a great thanksgiving meal when I go home, but I have decided to make conscious decisions about what I eat and how much I eat of it. I also need to not pig out Los Bagels and other yummy food from home.

While at home I am bringing some of my healthy recipe books and maybe some cooking light magazines to plan meals (especially dinners) for when I come back. I have Sunday and Monday night off from the restaurant and can shop/prep/cook items for the next week. I also need to find a way to work in the gym! I really do miss going, but am going to have to get up super early or go super late. But I need to go.

My friend Lance who is a personal trainer and all over fitness powerhouse got a fortune that he posted on facebook yesterday, "If you develop the habits of success, you will make success a habit." I need to get back in the habit!
