The Holidays are hard for me, weight-wise. Since I hit 30 years old, I've had the hardest time from Halloween through New Years. I ALWAYS gain weight.
This year, I'm doing it all different. I resisted the urge to eat sweets through Halloween, and I exercised almost everyday. I got through that one without gaining a pound - Yay me!
But, then came Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving at my mom's house is a family affair. We all get together, we all cook and there is a LOT of food. I did things differently here too. I did snack just about all day, but 95% of my snacks were fresh raw veggies. I walked to my moms house from mine (about 1.5 miles) and I did very little sitting down. All in all it was a pretty good day & by the end of the 4 day weekend, instead of my usual weight gain, I only added 1/2 a pound - Yay me again!
The Holidays are changing for me. I am not eating less, but I am eating better; I am moving, whether it's with an exercise DVD or just walking, on a daily basis, and I feel GREAT!!
Merry Christmas! :)
