My Public Display of Dieting – Week 48

December 8, 2016

RESULTS: Might've lost a couple pounds??

Our house and car in Wellington, New Zealand

This past week I've been packing up to leave the hotel, going to the Weta Christmas party, and unpacking into our new home. I've been running errands, but today was the first day in a week that I've been able to take time to run again. (I was tired, but it still felt good!)

The movers expect to deliver our belongings next week, so I'll be able to start weighing myself again and see how I'm doing. Yesterday I was wearing a pair of pants that I couldn't get on in January, but were almost embarrassingly loose yesterday. 🙂 That's something!

Even without the scale, I feel like I'm making a little progress. Of course, part of it is because I need to thoroughly clean the kitchen, cupboards, dishes, etc. with hot water and bleach because this place has been empty a little while. (When I saw the mousetrap, I kinda freaked out, but I haven't seen a mouse. Just a few small bugs that I don't like but probably can't keep out.)

Once I feel everything is clean enough, then I can start cooking a little and eat fewer sandwiches. It's a summer house, so there isn't much cupboard space, so I won't be able to buy too much food at once, which is good. But my friend Elena (Southern California) is going to give me some cooking lessons via Skype – yay! And my friend Rachel (in Melbourne, Australia) wants to bake together via Skype – yay! We just have to make the times work since I'm in Wellington, New Zealand now. But I'm excited!

I'll keep you updated for another week or two, then I'll take a Christmas break and come back with a new goal in January! How are YOU doing with your health and fitness goals? Don't give up! Take a break if you need to, but let's not lose what momentum we've gained. We can do this! 😀
