Good Morning Buddies,

Last year at this time I was SOOOOO nervous about going out to any social events in fear of undoing all the work I had done working towards losing weight.

This year I have a different attitude and heading into the holiday season in a totally different frame of mind.

Hubby and I are going to a Christmas party tonight - dinner and dance.
I am SOOOOO excited about it.  We are going with friends and it will be a great time.

I am already planning the whole day, okay I’ve been planning it since the day we bought the tickets over a month ago.

It’s 7 a.m. right now and I am going to workout soon as I finish blogging.
Then it’s shower time and grocery shopping.
Then I have some errands to do around town with my son and going to get my hair cut.

I am going to eat light today keeping my calories low but still not going to the dinner famished - that’s just not a good thing at all.
I’ll enjoy dinner there without going completely nuts - I can do this and I know I will.
I will have a small dessert so I will be very choosy about it and enjoy it.
Savoring it.
I’ll have a couple of drinks and then I will dance the night away.
Dancing is awesome exercise.

Last year I was so nervous about this Annual Christmas Party.
We ended up not going at all and that sucked.
Then there were only other social events to follow anyway so it’s not like they can all be avoided.
The key I think is having a plan and having the right attitude.
I’m hoping and thinking that I have both this year.

So the main things I am going to remember to do
- workout this morning

-eat light today

- enjoy dinner and dessert without going overboard

- drink plenty of water

-DANCE, DANCE, DANCE (like I’ll need to remember to do that) I love dancing

- the main thing is I’m going to have fun and enjoy being with my hubby and friends

Did I mention that I am SOOOOOO excited about tonight?

Have a great weekend my buddies!   I plan to.

After working so damn hard this week
working out a ton and eating so well and feeling so good about myself  I blew it tonight.

Fell asleep watching TV then woke up hungry and instead of just going to bed like I should have I ate.
Didn’t eat healthy either.
I started out by having some yogurt - not a bad choice if I had to eat late at night.
Then I had some sugar free candies - sugar free NOT calorie free.
Then I had a chocolate covered granola bar.
Should have just gone to bed but Nooooooooo

I ate crap and now I feel like crap.

I hate that it takes so much work to get the weight off and takes so little to put it back on.

Ugh sorry for bein such a downer.
Just feelin’ really crappy right now.

Tired and need to go to bed.

I guess the good thing is that tomorrow’s a new day.

Goodnight Buddies
