Christmas is only a couple weeks away, so we're in full swing of the Holiday craziness. Parties, shopping....treats everywhere. It's been a challenging year for me as far as getting back on track but the last few months and especially the last few weeks I've done a good job of balancing it all. In fact, for the first time ever, I've actually lost weight in November/December! Probably about 10 lbs so far. My goal is 10 more...my "reach" goal would be more like 20 more, but that will be hard knowing where my body's happy weight is. Either way, I'll keep doing what I'm doing which is running and Orange Theory, along with allowing a couple of splurges sometimes but making sure to choose healthy the rest of the time. It's hard...treats are everywhere...at work, at parties, at everyone's houses. Fitting in the workouts is hard too, with crazy schedules. One motivator for me right now is a weight challenge at OTF. $5 buy in, and then an entry for each workout. As long as you stay within 2 lbs of your weight (or less) and you're in the drawing to win half the money (so 2 names will be drawn). The pot is something like $1180. The chance to win $590 is a great motivator 😜
With that I leave you with some pics of what I've been up to. It's been awhile since I posted any pics.
About to finish the Boundary Water Bank Marathon (Ely, MN) in September.
Start of the Monster Dash in St. Paul.
Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot with MRTT. I'm on the far right, bottom row.
Turkey Trot was followed by Mimosas and coffee/Rumchata (I'm on the far right)
Group pic after one hardcore 90 minute Orange Theory session (I am 3rd from left, bottom row. My beast of a husband is far right, bottom row).
Enjoying a fire at a Tree Farm where we cut down our Christmas tree this year....and trying to get the kids to let us take a decent pic. (HA).
Epic socks I bought last night while out for a night of sushi and shopping with my awesome friend Katie.
