December has not been a successful weight loss time for me. I am disappointed, but I realize that I have allowed this to happen by not persevering in the healthy habits I have acquired.
I am in the process of reflecting over the past year and setting goals for the future year. One goal will be to get myself back on track.
I have been eating way too many Christmas goodies and telling myself that it is okay because it is Christmas time. The thing is --I know that when I eat sweets, I begin to crave more and more sweets. I find I am buying candy and then I feel guilty for doing it so I hurry to eat it.
It's pretty sad when you can eat your total calorie allowance in just a few handfuls of sweets. I have gained some weight and I can feel it in the way I feel and move. My knee is achy, my joints hurt, I feel out of control. I do not like to feel this way.
It is so easy to gain 10 pounds-- can do it in a few days. But to take off those 10 pounds requires diligence, workouts, and a few weeks.
Anyway--- I hope to have some goals set soon. I have joined Sparkpeople and hope that the community and accountability features will assist me in getting back to practicing what I know will be healthy. If you are reading this and also on Sparkpeople leave me a comment or email me. We can help each other out.
I am also considering another weight loss challenge this winter. If you know of some going on, please let me know so I can look into them.
I'm looking forward to 2012. The past year was a difficult one - but we learn from all our experiences. I hope to be able to improve in 2012 from all the lessons I have learned in 2011.
Have you started thinking about your 2012 goals and resolutions?
