Ok, This Is Just Ridiculous Already!

Hey all,

So I needed to just take a moment to update my blog. I've neglected all of you long enough. Hopefully you all have not given up on me and are able to read this.

I completely left Weight Watchers and all my goals by the wayside last month around Thanksgiving. I really let the holidays kick my butt this year! A friend of mine from kindergarten and fellow WW follower told me not too...she said "Marian don't overdo it. You'll regret it." Over the past 4-6 weeks I've noticed that I've picked some of the old habits that I had dropped. In doing so, I've gained back some of the weight that I lost from August - October. And not only that but I feel really "yuck" in my body.

So HOW did this happen? The holiday season in and of itself got really busy. I never planned on NOT having the time to work out. I didn't plan on NOT having the time to cook and make my own meals. And to be honest I could have MADE the time but I failed to plan. And like the old saying goes, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." And I failed myself over this past holiday season. I allowed myself to get lazy and eat whatever and didn't plan time for the gym. In doing so, I only cheated myself.

As you can see, I make no excuses. This is my fault. Yes, it was Thanksgiving and Christmas. But Thanksgiving and Christmas take place every year. Yes, I had parties and events. I should've had a game plan so that I would not overindulge. I should've made time for workouts. Even 30 minutes 3-4 times a week is better than nothing.

Anyway, I am not making a new year's resolution to workout, eat better and lose weight. Instead I am recommitting myself to what I have already resolved to do.

More to come!
