Well, I don't know about you, but I'm a little nervous about being surrounded by all of that yummy food and making smart choices. My philosophy is going to be do the best I can, and if I'm up a pound or two the next day hit it hard and get back on track. Ideal Protein has sent out some recipes that can be substituted for some of your favorite holiday dishes, so I will share those with you. I haven't tried them, so I'm not sure how they will be, but some of them sound pretty good. This is the most difficult time of the year for dieting, but we can decide whether we gain 10 pounds, maintain, or loose 15 pounds. My goal is to have lost another 18 pounds by the end of the year. That will put me down 90 pounds!! After all it's just food! The holidays should be about our loved ones and the memories we make, not what we stuff ourselves with right? It's Ok to change some of your food related traditions and focus more on being together and enjoying the real reason we celebrate! Wishing us all good luck and a joy filled Holiday Season!
Look under the "recipes" in the side bar to find holiday recipes.
Things I am thankful for this season:
A wonderful husband who tells me every day how good I look and how proud he is
A daughter who has comitted to running a 5k with me in a few weeks even though she really doesn't want to.
A son who is my running coach and makes sure I get my workouts in.
3 fun younger kids who are learning to eat healthy with me.
Enjoying wearing jeans for the first fall season ever.
Having the energy to get all the projects done that this season brings with it.
Feeling good enough about myself that I don't want to just hibernate for the winter
Finding new activities and abilities that I never knew would be so much fun
All of my MANY blessings
