Week Twelve- Disneyland in 10 days

Hi All,

Well, I survived last week and enjoyed a holiday.  I didn't workout, keep my goals, eat sensibly much, and I indulged in way too much Halloween candy.  However, as Anne of Green Gables would say, "Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it."  This weekend I had time to actually prepare for this week.  Paul was a doll and picked up the groceries for me in between rehearsals and performances.  Now I have six crockpot dinners frozen and ready to just be popped in in the mornings.  I have time to workout and time to walk Pip.  I have time to get my snacks in and read some motivational/why-we-do-what-we-do articles that my fantastic coach printed off for me.  Yesterday I ended the day very worried and scared that I wouldn't be able to get back on track and continue making the choices I've started.  After my coaching, though, I think that I can.  I have 10 days until we leave on vacation.  When we go, all bets are off and I'm not worrying about things and am going to just enjoy.  However, I'm going to use these 10 days to be super focused.  If I look at it as, "I can do anything hard for 10 days," then I think I can do it.

That being said, here are my goals:
1.  Blog daily and post to Facebook.
2.  Workout three times this week.
3.  NO CHIPS
4.  NO CANDY.  (Now if I make a mini pie or a one-serving cake, that's ok with me.  It's the candy that I have no off switch for.)
5.  Eat the food I've planned and prepared to eat.

Thanks to those of you who have contacted me to make sure I was doing ok.  Part of this whole "going public" thing that I dreaded was failing in such a public way.  However, it does motivate me and you all have been so kind and supportive.  Thank you for that.
