I’m gonna try to really eat well over the next week, and get back exercising. I’ve taken off two days in a row- today would be the third and I start going stark-raving mad about now. :-P

I’m done with all the food-making presents (read: lick, nibble, taste, sample oh 800 calories later??). So now it shouldnt be too hard. I’m just impatient and want to feel better NOW. Not a week from now. Gah.

And yah, bagels are amazing.

Huh? Crazy. No more!

It was great! It really helps me with my weight loss journey. Thanks for reminding us about not beating ourselves up over treats. The Holidays are rough. Being sensible next meal is the best form of checks and balances. :) Goals this Christmas week would be to stay active to balance out the yummy food.

I forgot you don’t have Boxing Day in the States!! You’re missing out :P (not really, I could use to look up it’s real meaning too).

Yes, I’ve traded in a few of my usual snacks for sweets this past week. Technically, I’m not taking in toooo many extra calories. But damn, a small cookie is not as filling as a bowl of yogurt! Just leaves me with an empty sugary feeling :\

I’m excited for the usual Christmas meals, but I’ve got to lay off on the little baked goods that keep circling. All the sugar is starting to make me feel like crap!

love your goal check-in…and you are so right, ain’t nothing getting done between now and january :)

i love that jillian michaels analogy…mostly because i used to be that person.

I know it’s not the greatest strategy, but I’ve been making my meals a little smaller knowing that I’m eating more sweets (and drinking more!) than I usually do. I know all the crap isn’t good for me but it’s still calories in calories out so I’m just trying to be sensible…sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t!

Now I’m going to go look up Boxing Day on Wikipedia…it sounds fun :-)

Hahah I love that they passed out (virgin) Jello shots! That’s hilarious!

Baking supplies are one of my biggest holiday expenses too! I’m dreading going shopping :(

Lately I have been flattening all four tires with Christmas goodies. That is one of my goals to stop eating cookies and sweets. I eat healthy all day than after dinner attack the sweets. I can’t wait to get the baked goods out of my house!

-go see the OLYMPIC TORCH on Christmas Eve!!!!
- be mindful of what I’m eating. I undoubtedly will indulge, but I want to make sure that I don’t become a glutton.
-exercise or make it to the gym at least 5 days
-purge the storage room in our basement

I always get so tense and anxious before family events. I’m so excited to go home this year and I don’t want my fear of food or not enough exercise to get in the way of my holiday. So I’m not going to let it :) I can’t wait to see your contributions to your family meal. xoxo
