My plan for December
When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there ……….. Zig Ziglar
And that comment brings me to now - a horrible few days of eating and non water drinking. Booo on my part.
Thanksgiving came and went and with that TOM paid a visit. Had a few days of sheer depression. I ate what seemed like any and everything, no exercise in site and water I guess I thought it didn’t exsist.
NO! I am not looking forward to tomorrows weigh in.
Hope your Thanksgiving was a blessing!
Today is my hubbys birthday. Birthdays to us and our family are just like holidays lots of gathering and of course eating.
It all started lastnight with brownies I baked him and the vanilla ice cream I served with them. Today will consist of his birthday lunch at Sticky Fingers ( we love this place) and his birthday dinner at Sakuras ( can you say sushi!) - Who knows if my mom will have him a Carvel ice cream cake which by the way is his favorite.
As you see this day is gonna be a tricky possibly weight gaining day.
On a weight loss/healthy lifestyle stand point.
I have listed a few people and things I am thnakful for that I feel have gotten me to the point of sucess I am at.
So on this Thanksgiving be sure to give thanks in all areas of your life. Enjoy your day, your food and of course your time with your family and friends and may God Bless!
No Fasting Before Thanksgiving Dinner!
Employing a plan to avoid eating too many unhealthy foods on Thanksgiving is a good idea, but there’s one strategy that’s actually a recipe for failure: fasting before the big meal. Total deprivation actually leads to extreme hunger, cravings, and, inevitably, overeating at mealtime — everything that the South Beach Diet principles work to prevent. Fortunately, there are alternative tactics you can use to avoid overeating on Thanksgiving and throughout the year.
Thanksgiving is around the corner and Christmas isn’t to far behind and dare we forget about the partys of New Years Eve so I came up with a list of tips to help out when it comes to eating whats not so good for us and to help stay on plan.
1. snack (cheese sticks, hard boil eggs etc.) Never go without a snack as it will cause you to overeat/overindulge
2. water water water - be sure to drink lots of it to flush out any of the off plan eats
3. portion control - if you want something off plan be sure to be mindful of your portion size (small scoop is all you need)
4. everything in moderation - have a lil something off plan but not all day off plan
5. exercise - move your body to burn up those extra calories
Hope these tips are some help to you.
Good luck and Happy Holidays!!
Do I really look like this in real life?
This is a pic of me from the Jags game last week - boy do I look different
I guess I still see myself as the “fat” me

Life is in the journey, guys, not the destination, so do what you can and take it one day at a time. Go slow; do it right; make it permanent.
However, along the way when you get the awesome results that come as you work toward your goals, brag about them — I’m being serious! You’re not being smug, you’re proud and so am I!
