Workout Accountability: Thursday
Whoa - hard to believe the week is almost over! I love holidays for that.
Yesterday was great for me getting back on track. I figured out how I would have to compensate my calorie consumption to accommodate the overeating on Monday and Tuesday and I managed to stay within my more restricted goal for the day (just two more days to go!)
I also made it to body combat despite the bad weather and crappy roads. I was very very happy to get the exercise, but man oh man could I tell I'd had two days off. I didn't really feel like I had much energy the whole time but I made it till the end.
Hoping to make it to the gym again tonight - eating looks like it will again be on track today, just have to avoid the holiday treat landmines all over work.

Re: Workout Accountability: Thursday
I haven't checked in all week, so here is a bit of a recap.
Sunday: major lifting session (arms, chest, abs)
Monday: 5 mile run
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: 3.23 mile run, I had to use the treadmill because we got about 6 inches of snow yesterday. Also lifted weights (legs, abs and shoulders)
I don't have a workout planned for today because my best friend is coming over and we are going wedding dress shopping. So excited!
I actually did better over the holidays than I am now in post-Christmas mode. There's tons of cookies around my house and I think I'm less on my guard than I was during Christmas. Plus today is my fiance's birthday so it'll be another day of lots of food and no time for the gym. I really want to sneak a workout in but I think he's been bummed that he's been home by himself all day and is having a little "i'm all alone on my birthday" pity party. So the nice thing to do would probably be to give him some attention. It'll only be one more day I suppose, grrrrrr.
But tomorrow I start fresh. I actually ate healthy today so far, if it weren't for my coworker and her damned bowl of peanut butter stuffed pretzels. When work went into crisis mode today, I apparently went into stress eating mode, whoops. Ah well... can't undo it now so we'll just move on!
Hope everyone has a good rest of their day!
My goal for this holiday season was not to gain any weight and so far I'm doing it. Today I tried out my brand new Kinect game Zumba Rush for an hour and it was awesome. I also do the Back on Pointe workouts and will be doing one of her leg routines tonight after work.
I *really* love Pinterest!
