Days 239 - 249 Christmas - the New Year

Wow - Anyone who believes that a diet/excercise plan of any kind be properly maintained over a holiday break is a nutjob. Between all of the holiday food, eating out with Jon, and massive amount of things we had to do and people we had to see I have done nothing remotely close to excercise (accept for trapsing around San Antonio, which does count because we had to have walked at least 3-4 miles New Year's Eve alone) and have most certainly gained back at least 3 of the pounds I had lost. Thankfully, my new, smaller sized work pants still fit, but the hint of a muffin top creeping out over the waist band and the bloated puffiness of my belly suggest a deep need for rededication to working out and eating less. Tonight I my last night with Jon and we are going out to dinner with our families. After this dinner, I will be adherring strictly to the "eat less & eat less crap" moto that had carried me through my initial training. I will also reestablish a consistant jogging routine. Twice a week with Michelle and once or twice over the weekends on my own. I have to do this - for me!
