A Changed Me Living a Better Life: Too Cold for Comfort

It's been a very cold weekend here in Burbank. It's in the low 50's which is very cold for us. Too cold to want to do anything that is "good" for me. It's really amazing to me how fast you can revert back to your "old" ways if I just give in. In this weather, I just want to bundle up, bake, eat, be lazy and cozy. I have done alot of talking to myself to resist these urges. I have managed to get my exercise in both Sat. and Sun. on my elliptical and I worked out for an hour rather then 45 minutes. So I give myself a pat on my back for that. Keith went out on a mountain bike ride this morning and Christopher who is out on a 130 mile road bike ride today with friends. I don't think these guys think twice about going because of the cold.
Towards the end of the day today, I went downhill. I gave in and indulged in too many "treats." I realize I am only human and hopefully this will be out of the way for me since next week is a big week of celebrations. We have Valentines Day on the 14th, Keith's B-day on the 16th, a BBQ for Carissa's B-day on the 17th, and Carissa's actual B-day on the 18th. In the past, it's been a week of over indulging. I plan to do it differently this year. I will let you know how I handle this week when the week is over.
On a more positive note.....When I weighed in at my Weight Watcher's meeting last Wednesday I was down 2.4 lbs. I am now 6.6 lbs away from my goal weight with my total weight loss being 59.2 lbs. So close but yet so far away.......

I hope you all have a great week coming up! Happy Valentine's Day.
