Good Christmas

Last WI: 220.6/At Home WI: 220.6

THURSDAY

Well, I had a good christmas. At the last minute I decided to visit my family in Tennessee for a couple days before christmas. I'd committed to spending the actual day and eve with Erik and his family here in town, but decided since those days conveniently fell on Monday and Tuesday that I could fly to TN Fri-Sun. It was great to see my family and hang out for a bit. I'm glad I did it. Thank you skymiles!

As for the WW front, I haven't been all that good until yesterday. I actually didn't even step on the scale for over a week (unheard of for me) for fear of what I'd see. It had been creeping up to an "alltimehigh" scary number and although I know what to do to stop it, I just couldn't do it. So, after Christmas I've recommitted (again?). Yesterday I braved the scale to see 223.6 and was surprisingly pleased. So I had a great day yesterday, ran on the treadmill and actually came in under points (well one to spare, that is). So, back on track.

I did my "official" WI this morning. I've decided to do them at home for the foreseeable future. I mean, why am I paying for these meetings, anyway? I don't stay for them, and they don't really keep me accountable since I don't go if I've been bad. I'm much more likely to "face the music" each week, even the bad ones, if I can do it in the privacy of my own bathroom. So, that's the plan. Thursday mornings will still be official WI days. They'll just be at home.

This weekend is going to be a little tough. I've got my best friend from college coming in. The good news is that she's not a bad food pusher anymore (we used to be horrible for each other) because she's acquired a disease (Celiac) that prevents her from eating anything with wheat in it. So she's very limited in what she can eat. We do have plans to watch a bunch of football this weekend, and celebrate new years, of course next Monday. Hopefully I can stick to the treadmill and minimize the threat.

I don't have much else going on. I'm not working this week. Not by choice. I don't have any work to do. That's the problem with having just started, I'm only on 2 cases so far, and they're quiet right now. I went in yesterday and saw no attorneys working on my floor. So, I couldn't even ask for more. It sucks for my billable hours, but I'm going to enjoy my week off. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some more cases after the new year.
