Catching Up

I've been out of touch for SO long and have missed reading everyone's blogs. The weekend in VT was a blast but the amount of time packing and shipping off pets is the same whether I'm gone for 2 days or ten. And then I get to undo everything I spent hours doing just 2 days ago. There are still Christmas decorations all over the house and finally got some laundry in before the Department of Health made good on that notice (I kid).

This week feels incredibly "heavy" to me - like I'm not going to have another loss on Friday. I didn't exactly eat like I was going to the chair this weekend but it was not my usual better-than-average fare. The skiing was fun and exhausting but my shins felt really bruised from the fugly orange boots and my calves were strung tighter than Nancy Pelosi's face so I wasn't able to workout Monday and Tuesday for fear I might tear something (instead of my usual seams). I did some free weights on upper body but can tell it hasn't made a dent. I just feel "dense". The eating was back under control first thing Monday but the weight loss gods are making me pay for the fun.

Today was my weekly trip down to CT to visit my parents so I pretty much sat for 6 to 7 hours and had errands up the wazoo when I arrived home so no workout today. Luckily, yesterday was a long, glorious walk in the park with Scooby and tomorrow I'll be back at the gym. General mood: crappy.

I'll be catching up with you all soon.
