It is a New Year and now a new challenge! I must confess that I was incredibly surprised (but in a good way) to see that over the holiday season I only managed to gain 3 lbs! Multiple holiday parties which comprised of poor eating habits - in both quantity and quality, as well as partaking in a few more holiday cocktails, I just assumed that I would balloon back up over 200 lbs easy. But different from last year when I was dealing with a bad cold and injury throughout December, I was somewhat active in between food/drink binges with friends and family this time...thus, resulting in minimal weight gain. Let's face it...it was the holidays. Given the circumstances and understanding my lifestyle some weight gain was going to happen. It was inevitable in that I was already mentally (and emotionally) prepared to accept it. But stepping onto the scale this morning seeing that I'm only up 3 lbs since before Thanksgiving...I'd take it. A huge mental "win" and motivation to get back into fitness.
It's 2018 now....new year, new body. Time to get back into the gym and defer to a more healthier lifestyle. The goal is to lose 8-10 lbs over the next two months. Baby steps on my journey back to fitness...small wins everyday will result in big changes by March. Let's do this....
