The holidays are a comin’
Lo:
Let me just start out by saying that I absolutely love the holiday season. I love the weather, the smells, the shopping, and the family that comes along with it. However, it is always the time of year that makes me wish I were somehow different or better than I am. I want to walk into each Christmas party and holiday event wearing a smaller size, and glowing with confidence. Unfortunately, I spend more time pondering my personal fantasy than actually acting on it. About this time every year, I have some absurd goal such as “lose 30 pounds by Christmas” or “drop four dress sizes by New Years.” However, this year I am going to approach things a little bit differently. I refuse to hinge my enjoyment of the holiday season on some arbitrary goals, so I am going to continue my slow & steady approach rather than set myself up for failure. So here are my healthy goals as we approach the holidays.
- Make sure I get at least 30 minutes of physical activity three times per week (starting small…)
- Continue working on journaling everything I eat ( haven’t mastered that goal yet)
- Recognize and continue my healthy accomplishments and healthy habits that I have established (healthy breakfast & lunch, no meal skipping)
I’m not sure why the holidays do that. I don’t have the greatest feelings about the holidays either. But mine is partially due to there is always so much food around and its just so hard to resist.
I SERIOUSLY CAN NOT BELIEVE IT IS ALMOST THE HOLIDAYS ALREADY!
I did shriek that…)
(and yes
I hear that, sister. We can be each other’s support system this year. And we can tell mom to lay off on the lasagna until we both have bums that look as good as hers!
