If you are the person who can "stick to it" during the holidays, 2 things...
1. I hate you.
2. How, oh how do you do this?

I mean, for me...
No person could convince me not to eat mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving...or stuffing, possibly my favorite food in the world.

Yes, I ate stuffing on Thanksgiving and turkey and mashed potatoes.

BUT...
I skipped the thousands of calories worth of sweets that I usually stuff in my face.

I have learned, during this journey, that NOTHING packs weight onto my body faster than sugar.

I didn't do perfect. I drank and ate and I didn't work out...ekk, that was the worst part. I hang my head in shame.

I did skip almost all of the sweets though. I know, I know, I'm not looking for a medal...well maybe a tiny one. What?! Just say no to sugar...SO HARD FOR ME!


So here are my mini-goals to complete before the end of the holiday season:
1. Drink a TON of water. 8 glasses a day.
2. Find the Crossfit in Durango so I can keep up with my workouts in CO.
3. Only drink 1/2 of the Black Box* instead of the whole thing over the course of the week...I kid, I kid...I think ;)
4. Curb the sweets. I can't say none at all because that will make me too sad. But I can certainly stay far away.
5. Go sledding and running and playing with my family...lots of calories to burn!

*Yes this is boxed wine but don't hate. Try it. It's super good wine. Mmm, Black Box Cabernet. Yummo.

Yeah for the Christmas season and non-food deliciousness:
