Sunday’s Weigh In: 221.5 lbs (GAINED 3 pounds).

The holidays are a tough time for everyone. I’m fighting the cold weather, holiday treats, and my appetite. I had an extra plate of food and 3 beers last night. That’s all. I’m not binging too much. But it’s still a struggle to keep my weight in check. Today I am going to do at least 2 workouts to try to get this under control. I have a holiday party tonight, so there will be even more temptation.

Workout #1 (morning)

Today I did high intensity interval training… 3 minute warm up, intervals between the stationary bike and with weights, and a 3 minute cool down.

Workout #2

I decided to search youtube for video challenges and as a way to find a new workout. I found a 100 rep squat challenge! Took me longer than the challenger (8 minutes as opposed to 6 minutes), but I’m happy with the results and the workout was great!

I didn’t have time for a workout last night. Taking care of a 2 year old after a long day at work is no easy task. I wasn’t even able to make any dinner for a while. Unfortunately, I kept getting hungrier and hungrier. I started to snack. First it was string cheese. Then, as I made chicken nuggets for my son, I started eating those too! Then, I threw all caution to the wind, grabbed a box of Crunchberries, and went at it, and went at it, and went at it.

SIX BOWLS LATER, I stopped myself. Then the guilt set in. But, I figured that I had been so good with my cardio lately, that the cereal wouldn’t make a difference. WRONG! I hopped on the scale that night only to see that my progress had been compromised. But, it sure did taste yummy at the time! Oh how good instant gratification feels, if only for a minute or two.

The good news is that I was able to get my video from my mini-dv camcorder to my laptop last night, so I can go full speed ahead with the youtube videos again! Stay tuned for some sick cardio as I punish myself for binge eating.
