I'll be flying home to Canada for Christmas in 10 days.. I'm crazy excited! I also know that when I'm home, I'm around a lot of really good food... and so I want to be as disciplined and as careful and as hardcore as possible between now and then.
However, now that my 2 big weekend races are over and it's getting colder outside and darker earlier in the evenings, I'm feeling less and less excited about working out. I'm also feeling more and more excited about melted cheese and all things comfort food. Treats keep popping up at work and I'm finding it hard to be controlled. It's sooo close to Christmas... one, two, five little candies won't hurt...I know that I'm at a dangerous place in my mind and I really dont want to cave at this point in the game. It would be so easy to just get into the holiday frame of mind and eat with wreckless abandon. I can feel myself leaning toward that and it scares me. I don't want to gain a few pounds back between now and Home Time and then have to tell people.. "Yeah well I had actually lost more weight than this but last week I got reaaallllyyyy hungry..."
So I have given myself a little talking to and decided that I need to finish this year strong, on a high note! True, I'm most likely not going to be able to say no to every little treat but I can drag myself away from my fuzzy blanket and put on my running shoes. It's all about making the right and best choices.
Between now and my "date of departure" I plan to get in as many workouts as possible, drink a lot of water, eat well for the most part (keeping in mind that there are parties that must be attended) and work as hard as I can to stay motivated.
It's not gonna be easy, it may not be fun but I know.. it'll definitely be worth it!
