UGH I'm human.......

I LOVE the holidays! My family makes THE BEST cookies...and fudge...and all food really. This is my downfall. I eat. And I eat. And I nibble some more. I could go into a sugar coma if left alone with the sweets too long. I am human.

To say that my weight is the same as it was on December 1st would be a lie. Honestly, I've fallen off the workout wagon. Life got extra stressful and I was getting sick. Still have touch and go laryngitis. Again I am human.

But what I'm not going to do is give up. My Monday is actually Sunday. So since my Black Friday purchase came in the mail today I think I am going to mix it up and try something new tomorrow! I'll keep you posted on what I try and how I like it. I'm going to stick with 21 Day Fix meal plan as I know that and have things planned already.

My goal for the end of the year that was set in November was to break though to the 240's lb range. I'm hovering at the edge of that again. So new goal time - 245 lb or lower by New years. That gives me a little over 19 days to work on it. And I still have 2 family Christmas parties to attend - oh boy..... The struggle is real in my house!

Post Holiday recap & Weigh-in!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving or Happy Thursday if you are outside the US. ;)

The recipes we tried were good. LOVED the pie and even had some for breakfast the next day! The corn casserole was super yummy. The green bean casserole - I'm sure would have been great.....had we followed the directions on the seasonings. >.< It called for three sprigs of thyme, we decided to use dried and over estimated how much was needed. So it was a no-go for me. But others ate it at the gathering so maybe it wasn't all bad..... But I was good and even though I ate the non 21DF green beans and had two helpings of corn casserole & two pieces of pie with ice cream - I didn't over eat!

And it's weigh-in day as it's a new month and a new 21 day fix round. The biggest yet if you are part of the Facebook group lead by none other than Carl Daikeler (chairman and CEO of Beachbody) and Autumn Calabrese (21 Day Fix)! I haven't done my measurements yet but my weight this morning was 243.4 lbs! This is the lowest I've been in FOREVER and I'm excited about it. :) Can't wait to see how this month ends. It will be a challenge as there are 4 Christmas parties planned and only 3 I can attend. Plus potential work gatherings and treats. The sabotage is there but I will be stronger, I will enjoy the treats but not over indulge.
