Disappointment?

Well, it's a new year and only 4 days until Hawaii. I can't say I've gotten anywhere near the weight I wanted to hit before Hawaii... Scratch that... I should not go by weight as much as I am definitely stronger through working out at work again. I'll rephrase the weight loss into not feeling as fit and as in shape as I wanted to be before Hawaii.

Couple of issues that I just shrugged off beforehand that I thought I could be tough against.

Holidays: New Years and Christmas (eve and the day for both.) I did not take into account how much food there would be and even with light grazing there was no way I could stand a chance.

One of my closest friend's marriage: Well you can think one night can't be that bad, but it was three nights of food. Combine that with how late the meals were and it was just not a good combination for myself and my "diet".

Really though for both it's one of those things that is to be expected and I am not down at all looking back. Yes I could have worked out at this crossfit gym, but I made choices to spend time with friends I rarely see, to enjoy myself during times with family, and just treat myself when I've been stressed about a lot of things going on in my life.

On a positive note, I am slimmer in my waist and my arms are slightly bigger. If I just keep plugging away I am sure I'll get to where I want to be for my fitness and overall health goals.

Happy New Years!
