Holiday Eating and Weight Loss
It seems as if every holiday that comes and goes, encourages me more and more to eat, eat, eat. Do you feel the same? There are always amazing dishes and treats to try, and by no means is it easy to pass them up. I was extremely frustrated yesterday when I stood on the scale and saw about 5lbs added to the already 20lbs I’m trying to cut back. LOL
Especially because this year I worked hard to check my eating habits. Smaller portions, no eating until I was full, etc. We also got a Wii recently, so I’ve been playing like crazy and two days before Christmas Eve, I stood on the scale and was absolutely THRILLED to see I had lost 4lbs just since we had started playing it, and that was without Wii Fit, which I hope to buy soon.
So what did I learn? Nothing. LOL I will always continue to eat on holiday’s because so many delicious foods are prepared, and well, I love food. So, today (well actually yesterday) began the long journey to first, losing the five lbs I decided to put on because of the two days of eating, and then I’ll work in the rest.
It isn’t exactly a resolution to lose weight, it is a resolution to watch my eating habits, and to work on my fitness level. What is yours?
