I’ve been a bad blogger girl. I’ve been a not-so-great fitness girl either. It’s been a hectic holiday season. But as of today, it’s over. Christmas has come and gone for one more year. When I signed on to my blog today, my weight tracker told me I hadn’t updated in 80 days. 80 days is almost three months. I hadn’t updated because my weight had not changed. Which means I have maintained for 80 days. While my weight has fluctuated a couple of pounds here and there with all the festive revelry over the past month or so, I have managed to always bring it back to the 63 pounds lost. I just haven’t been able to get past 63 pounds lost.
I updated my weight loss tracker today. It’s up a pound. But in light of the holidays, a pound is not so bad. Just two days ago, it was more like 4 pounds. I have indulged in holiday sweets and treats and family tradition comfort foods. I have slacked off on the exercise routine I have spent so much time developing. Good habits slip easily during the holidays, and old habits? Well, they die hard.
80 days though is long enough to stay the same weight when there is still fitness goals to achieve. For me, the holiday revelry ended this weekend. I won’t wait for New Year’s to forge new resolutions. In fact, I won’t be forging any resolutions. My fitness goals are my gift to me. They don’t require a resolution. My fitness goals only require my determination.
Blogging is my other gift to me. And I’m back to share my trials, tribulations and triumphs along the way.
In the next 80 days, I plan to break through 63 pounds and achieve the goals I set for myself this year. In the next 80 days, that weight loss tracker will be updated as I work on losing the last 20 pounds and achieve my running and training benchmarks.
Race season is not that far away. And this triathlon season, I want to finish my races with energy to spare!

Now that the holidays are over, you will have time to get back to a normal schedule.
I’m glad the holidays are almost over, only New Year’s eve to go and then back to normal.
I don’t have resolutions either, just workout goals for 2010 and can’t wait to start working on them.
I’m looking forward to following you next year and hope that you find the time to sometimes visit my blog also.
