Thursday

Today is my Friday at work because I have the day off tomorrow. I decided to take some time off before the nutty holidays. I won't be back to work until Tuesday the 23rd and 24th half a day. Then the week after might be a little crazy for me. Got to love the year end!

It did snow yesterday. The drive home was not that bad, I take the highway home so it's many times better then taking the local roads.
I did not even call to see if my WI was cancelled . I knew it would be.

So I have been off the wagon completely. No I don't want to go back to where I was but I think I need to totally jump off and then dive right back in. I have been off for a whole 1-2 weeks. All that was missing from my old way was eating out everyday. That is the only thing I did not indulge in. Once I go there I know I ain't' coming back.
So, the end results I gained, I feel horrible, I am OK with that.
For 2 years I have been faithful even thru the holidays. 2 yrs I gave it my all. I think I am aloud to fall and get hurt. It's part of life.
I will get back into it.I just don't know when!

Tonight I must start my Christmas shopping. Tomorrow I will try to finish it.
A co worker and I need to finish buying articles for a family who needed help for the holidays.
We collect money all year round and choose a charity at the end of the year. This year we opted to help a local family who needed assistance.
We will pick up the remainder of things they need and head out to meet them Friday afternoon. It will be interesting to see their faces with the nice things we got them.

I need to get going... Must clean off car from the snow. Also must allow myself to stop for coffee because I have a feeling it's gonna be a long day.

I totally know what you mean about falling off the wagon. It's so easy to let those pounds to sneak back on, especially since it's usually not about the "food", but about how eating the food temporarily makes us feel.

I'm looking forward to Oprah's new shows on weight loss and living healthy starting Jan 5... Especially since she's made it public about how she's fallen off the wagon again.

Just goes to show that it can happen to the best of us.
