Running all around
12 Dec
If only it was outside in a jogging fashion.
But I’ve been keeping busy. Doing my just.one.day. challenge has been good, although last night, I can’t say much for that. I was supposed to go out and see the movie, Precious, with my mom. But Hubman got home late, so we missed it (grr!) – anywho, since he brought home some food… and I was a hungry woman who had very little control. I ended up having bread, brie and salami! GAH!!! I feel all fat in the face today, swollen from salt, no doubt. Sigh! Today will be challenging as well since I had two b-day parties to go to, but I decided not to go to one, which I feel bad about, but it’s over 90 minute drive and then I’d have to leave early from the first one to rush another 90 minutes (or more) back up to be at my nephew’s bday party. Too much, man! So, that will make it slightly easier.
I’m happy to see I’ve dropped a couple of pounds on the scale, but I’m not doing an official weigh-in til the 15th. Also, I did NOT Shred on my first just.one.day challenge, I think I already said – but I didnt want my appetite to hike up as it does when I work out. However, yesterday was my first day doing Level 2 in the Shred. One of my lovely readers asked what the shredding was all about – and just to let her know, a couple bloggy friends and I are doing Jillian’ Michael’s 30-day-Shred which is an intense exercise for only 20-25 min per day! Level two was challenging, man, some of the moves that looked easy when I skimmed through the video (to be prepared haha) looked simple enough – HA! um.. NOT.
So, anywho, that’s where I”m at. This time of year – no kidding, more than I ever I am busy and there are endless occassions that tempt me to eat – it’s a toughie, it really is! I’ll be happy to have gotten through the holiday season losing just a couple pounds, or even not gaining!

You’re doing great, keep it up!!! Check in with me, woman and let me know how you’re doing!!!
Great job! I never made it to level 2…I did level one for 10 days and then quit (stupid knees). Good luck with all of the commitments! I had two parties last night and succeeded in not exceeding my daily calorie limit! yay. You can do it!
Beth – NIICE two parties and goin’ strong! I cut my two parties into one – I decided against driving all over the state in one day. And I believe I managed to stay on track with my cals. I did NOT however look up to see how much the birthday cake I had was, but it was just one square – I even asked for the SMALL square hahah
