So, here's the scoop. I did pretty well with my eating through Halloween, and I even made it nicely through Thanksgiving Day, but I feel that I'm slowly but surely succumbing to the holiday eating mentality. Ick. The big problem was that I had a container of gravy in my refrigerator that just kept calling me all weekend. I was just looking for stuff to put gravy on. Well, that stops today. I finally just put the remainder of it down the drain today. Tomorrow's a new and better day...back to routine...until Wednesday. Then I'm in Chicago for the rest of the week for work, where I'm sure we'll be eating nicely. I really need to try to be good.
As far as exercise goes, I've been doing very nicely. I went for a 6 mile run outside on Friday, and then I took Saturday off as a rest day. Today, I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill for 3+ miles. Tomorrow is bootcamp, and I plan on going to the gym on Tuesday for some more running before my trip. Unfortunately, I'll miss bootcamp on Wednesday and Thursday, but I'm going to try to make up for it on the following weekend.
In other news, I've changed my blog layout just a bit. Google Reader added a feature where you can link your blogroll from Reader, so I'm going to see how that works. If you click "Read More", it will display all of the posts from that group in order of most recent.
I did have one problem...I couldn't add Geoff's blog to my Reader for some reason. Does anyone else use Google Reader? If so, have you experienced any issues adding certain subscriptions?
Ok. That's it for tonight. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Glad you made it through Thanksgiving, and made the decision to drain the gravy. Lol... I can just see you dreaming up ways to use gravy... :) Anyway, I think admission is the first step to recovery, so being aware of your potential to overeat this holiday should prevent too much damage.
Yup, you know you're tempted like Rebecca said, so you can guard against it. You know what to do Kristen, you've come a long way, so just lower your head and do it.
I've been feeling the same way, the grip started to loosen a bit this weekend. The gravy drain was the best thing you could do, both for your body and symbolically.
Back at it now!
Lol @ you about dreaming up ways to use the gravy. You spotted your weakness and did what you had to do to overcome it. Good job on that. The step you took with the gravy (pouring it down the drain) is what got you down how many pounds now?
So tell us Kristen, what exactly are your plans for this current phase of your body transformation? I think I know some of it but I dont think Ive seen you detail it all in one place. Maybe doing that will help you stay the course this season. Plus Im just interested in seeing where youre headed :)
Bummer that you can't add my blog :-(
I don't use google reader, so I dunno what the problem might be. I know mine works from FireFox's Live Bookmarks feature, though.
I love me some mashed potatoes and gravy, but I didn't let my mom give me any to take home. I only took some turkey meat since it's healthy and good. It's much easier to eat well when you don't have bad stuff around.
Gravy down the drain....way to go Kristen! Have fun in Chicago, see you this weekend?
I feel somewhat the same as you, except it hasn't been the traditional holiday food that's been my downfall. I've been really good about all of that, but fast food of all things got me a few times last week. Oh well, move on right :)
I'm very impressed by how much you work out. I need start making it a priority as well. Keep up the good work, oh, and well done on the Turkey Trot! Enjoy Chicago!!
I feel the same way...the holidays have definately slowed my weight loss.
You know, I was just about to give you shit about not blogging for a week but then I remembered you're in Chicago.
Free pass!
Hope you're doing well - see you soon! Don't forget to check out the forums, I put a few upcoming races up there.
