Holidays

Well, I managed to workout 3 of the 5 days during Thanksgiving break, but Christmas break has been harder. Not only is the gym only open from 12-6pm, but my kiddo is home for 2 weeks straight. I managed to get to the gym on the 26th (Thursday) after not having worked out since the 20th, and did chest day. Two days later, I'm still sore. I hadn't realized quite how fully I (and my attitude) depend on time at the gym. I'm rather cranky I can't be in the gym at 8:15am everyday like I'm used to. I'm looking forward to my kiddo being back to school a full week before I am. I'll get some "me time" finally. :) 

I am not, however, looking forward to getting back on the scale. I have definitely indulged a few too many times. Regardless, I need to remind myself that I'm still a lot healthier than I have been IN YEARS, and muscle weighs more than fat. I know I've put on some muscle... I can see it!  That fact makes me so happy and proud of myself. I just hope this down time motivates me to push even harder when I return to the gym next week. :)
