New Year, new ideas.
New Years Eve was fun. I had a couple of drinks, but I brought my own mixers and liquor the party. Diet soda, as always. I was able to pour my own drinks (it was a casual get together of friends), so I monitored my intake. I did have a few more glasses of champagne than I normally would have had, but all in all I had a good time. OH I almost forgot the spread. There was so much food, none of it good for you. But amidst the chips, pretzels, mini hotdogs, and sour cream laden dips, there was a vegetable platter. I attacked the carrots and broccoli. So I wasn't too tempted to eat the bad stuff.
On New Years Day, I told myself, that it's still a holiday, I'm going to not agonize about every little thing that I put in my mouth. Boyfriend and I went out to dinner, just to a little diner in town, and I got a grilled chicken sandwich. There was more on it, but I'm ashamed to say. I did eat almost all of my french fries. I haven't had them in so long, that I couldn't stop myself.
Exercising wasn't in the picture, too much. But on Sunday, I decided that I was ready to exercise as I hadn't in about 4 days. I set the Wii Fit up, and was ready for the worst.
Why is it when you aren't trying, you always matter to lose like 2 pounds?!? But when you are killing yourself, watching EVERY calorie you digest, exercising like a crazy person, and all around becoming neurotic about losing weight, absolutely nothing happens? It's extremely frustrating. At least I lost though. And I will hopefull continue.
I got Wii Fit Plus this weekend, so I'm exciting about using that. These games seem a bit more challenging, which is going to be fun. I can only do Super Hula Hoop so often. But I'm excited to see what the New Year holds for me in the terms of weight loss.
I have already managed to meet (sort of) my first goal. It took me 3 extra days, but I'm down 16 lbs from where I started. I think that's the most weight I've ever lost. Usually, I give up. Most days, I feel like it, but I haven't. That's what counts.
Next, is set a new goal. 15 lbs on of before 3/29. That is my and Joe's 2 year anniversary. We have it all planned out already. Both of being HUGE Yankees fans, we are going to go to NYY Steak for dinner. A wonderful steakhouse INSIDE Yankee Stadium. I've been looking forward to this for a while. Hopefully I'll be where I'm hoping I'll be weightwise when we go.
On that note (yes I am salivating), I hope everyone's New Year is happy and healthy. And that your goals, whether old, new, or revamped are reached :)
