December Doldrums

This sure has been a tough month for me.  And the scary part is the real tough part doesn’t come until next weekend when the Holiday feasts start in hot and heavy.  As I wrote in my update today, I gained a pound this week and am now back to where I started the month of December at.  It’s going to be really hard to hit my goal of losing 6 pounds in December.

How do weight loss studs like 2007 FatBlogger of the Year Tony do it?

One thing I have noticed with Tony is he seems really committed to the cardio.  He’s running over 10 miles a week and he seems to be doing that consistently.  I haven’t run since November 26th.  That’s a problem.

The one thing I have in my favor for getting through this tough month is my blog and my support network, of which all of you play a part.  It would be so easy to just slide back into old habits if I didn’t have my own words to keep me in check.  I can’t believe it is been 3 weeks since I last ran, but by writing about it I keep it in mind and it will be so easier to get back to it before I let the habit slide.  If I wasn’t writing about this stuff I could see how you could easily just give up and revert back to your old ways.

I am committed to not let that happen.

I know I’m not the only one struggling this month.  Let’s stick together and get through this.  Don’t wait until January if you can help it!

PS – I am giving away an Omron Pedometer this week – check out the contest entry for information on how to win.  If you already have a pedometer you should still enter – it would make for a good prize for your own contest.
