Holiday Hoe Down – Week 1 – The Shrinking Jeans of Thea

November 24, 2010 By thea

This week was a bit of a rough week.

First off, I took a exercise week off. Which totally defeats the purpose when you have a Fitness Challenge on the table, but I just couldn’t (wouldn’t) get my self together to workout. I logged an abysmal 10 minutes yesterday while I was dancing with the kids.

I still have this “all or nothing” mentality when it comes to exercise. If I’m not able to do ALL of my workout, I end up doing NOTHING.

That probably didn’t need explaining.

Secondly, I had a bit of a stomach bug over the weekend. It was really bad timing because Saturday was our Annual Progressive Dinner. All that delicious food and I didn’t eat hardly any of it.

So, I wasn’t expecting much this weigh in. Which is usually when the magic happens.

I am down 1.2 pounds this week!

I need to come up with some goals for this challenge. No goals = no plan = no good.

  1. As always, stay within the 153-157 pound range.
  2. Do something active every day. Even if it’s only dancing for 5 minutes.
  3. Limit myself to one sweet treat a day (Exception: Thanksgiving Day)
  4. When I have a choice, skip the food with a wrapper.

While I had a loss this week, I feel like I really dropped the ball with the Fitness Challenge. I apologize to my Healthy Holiday Ho’s. It won’t happen again!!
