Oh my goodness. Trying to keep my weight down and treats around the holidays simply aren't mixing well this year. Some years I feel like a ROCK STAR and abstain from over eating. And usually being gluten free and dairy free helps me to say NO to most foods. But considering the fact that I have learned how to make delicious gluten free, dairy free foods...I'm in trouble. Big trouble!
Party mix is something we keep in the house from Thanksgiving all the way through until New Year's Eve. And last week I just HAD to make sugar cookies. Oh my! What is wrong with me!! And Cassie and I ate most of them ourselves. I should have shared a LOT more. So, Friday, we had brownies for the church Christmas party...yumm-O! I ate too many...BUT they're SO good! Do you see my dilemma???
I have a friend who is on a Paleo diet...among other allergies...and I decided I wanted to make a treat she could eat too. Of COURSE I had to taste test those cookies. My self-control must have disappeared. Flew right out that big open window! And then on Sunday we celebrated our 3rd son's 14th birthday....with chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting. My stomach is not quite right tonight. It could possibly be the two large pieces of cake I ate...
Today I had sugar cookies with icing. Notice that's plural. I didn't stop at just one, but I should have. I just had my kids finish them off. Sigh!! Then I made them polish off the cake. Phew! THAT is way too much temptation. It's just SO delicious!! After all that...I still ate a brownie after supper. Blah!! The kids will have to eat those too. Ugh. And I made party mix today...which I snacked on this afternoon. I wasn't really hungry at supper...but I ate a plate anyway...yikes. Wise choices...where are thou?
I know better than this, and yet there are times where I find myself unable to restrain my hand from grabbing those treats. The best way for me to combat this is to get rid of all treats. Sad face....
Every week day I exercise...I purposely KICK MY BUM...yes some days I actually do butt kickers...and then I follow my workout with a healthy breakfast. Fruits, veggies, protein...
But for some reason when I hit late afternoon and supper time I lose my will power. I need to regain my desire to be healthy. I need to remind myself that I'm worth it. I FEEL better when I keep the weight off. I feel better when I eat right.
I think I know what my New Year's resolution is going to be this year....
What's your New Year's resolution going to be?
