Holidays here we come!!!
It's almost that time to enjoy some sweet and savory foods.... again..
Thanksgiving was fantastic! I made some "legal" foods for the family to try and for me to enjoy. There was not a weight gain during that time, which surprised me beyond belief!
I am almost at my goal, another 5 lbs to shed and then BOOM! Done!! YES!
so.. Christmas is coming and my weakness is all the goodies!!
I love some homemade cookies, breads, peanut butter balls, and all the other delicious things that people make!
How can I choose only one or two of those to try?
I had a weakness last week for sure! I tried a Dunkin Donut (we now have one of those naughty places!!).
I made Sugar Cookie Cutouts and they were amazing!
I made Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies and those were scrumptious!
I made my grandmother's Cinnamon Roll Recipe and those were good too!
This is just ME making things, so imagine the difficulty in saying "NO or only 1" to other people's creative Christmas baking!! ahhh!!
In order to get through this time of weakness, here are my tips for you and for me:
1) Drink more water
2) Move - exercise everyday.. a couple of times a day if you find yourself craving something sweet.
3) Stay busy - idle time is the devil's playground... temptation will be beyond anything you've experienced
4) Indulge by letting yourself have 1 or 2 things during this holiday time. It's OK!!!!
Stay strong people and know that it's all about self control and making wise choices.
Question--- Is it really worth eating 12 cookies in 1 sitting or that whole plate of treats? I really could do that you know... easily.... but I have to remember... 1 or 2 that's enough.
Merry Christmas to all!!!!
