Feeling Sorry For Myself

I’m finally home, following a wonderful trip out west to visit with some great friends. For the first time in roughly 2 weeks, I’ve been able to weigh myself at home, and it’s nasty.

181.

That’s extremely bad. I don’t even want to do the math on that – it might make me sick.

But there it is. I’m sitting here going over every decision I made in the last week or so. Most of them were bad. I DID exercise a decent amount, but clearly not enough to counteract the immense amount of crap I ate (and drank): Cookies, pizza, ice cream, chex mix, Disaronno, etc etc.

So here it is: January 3, 2010. I’m going to call today my official start to a healthy new year. And as soon as I hit the ‘publish’ button on this post, I’m going to stop feeling sorry for myself and just fix it. I’ve been thinking about it for days, and it’s time to get back to it. I’m ready, and I know what works: Eat right – and log everything (hello again, My Food Diary!) and exercise – often and intensely.

    It's easy to make bad choices over the holidays. It happens, but it's not the end of the world. You've got a half marathon coming up. There is no way in hell those pounds won't fall off as soon as you start training for that bad Larry. :)

    I blew it over the holidays too. I am really disappointed in myself, but I am back on track now, and heading toward a great 2010.

    Don't feel so bad, after all it could have been much worse. You will be kicking butt again in no time!

    Rachel – I freaking *hope* so!

    Steve – Ah, the holidays. I guess no one's perfect, eh?

    Aimee – Thanks for the encouragement! Stop by anytime!
