Keep on keeping on
Yesterday went pretty well. I ate according to plan and got in a great workout. I also finally wrapped up my Christmas shopping. Hooray!! Our 4 year-old has been telling Santa he wants a blue, remote-control jeep for Christmas and I guess we sort of spaced it off so I sent my hubby on the mission yesterday. Everywhere he went there were green jeeps and yellow jeeps or blue trucks but no blue jeep. Finally I headed to 1 last store and we found it. It’s HUGE and he’s going to love it. Now I can sit back and enjoy the holidays.
My focus for right now is coming up with a plan to get through our 5 Christmas parties without ruining all of the progress I have made. They start on Saturday and go through Tuesday. My main plan is to make sure I fit in a workout every day but Christmas Day (I know that never will happen, I’ll take that as my day off). When I exercise that helps to keep me on track. I’ll have to keep thinking of ways that I can realistically make good food choices at all of these parties. Any ideas other than the typical eat something before you go, chew gum, bring a healthy dish yourself, etc????
Holiday parties are really hard. I’ve heard to eat beforehand, and gum or mints do help.
From personal experience, limit the alcohol (it weakened my resolve at the office holiday party), focus on the veggies and proteins, and avoid the carbs and creamy stuff.
And have FUN!
