Woah Nelly....

Woooahhhhh....Girl, get ahold of yourself and put down the container of ice cream!!!! 

Despite the fact that the hubs and I were stranded in our house on Thanksgiving we...okay I...pigged out.  Major.  Super major.   And its not like I made a super awesome Thanksgiving meal.  But, the problem was Thanksgiving wasn't just one day for me...it was a whole week. (ice cream, cookies, chips, 24/7 munchies)  I will make an excuse and say that there were a lot of stress factors that came into play:  my boss was having a stressful week and totally taking it out on me, or so it seemed....the weather was horrible and we were going to miss Thanksgiving with the family....sisterly drama....the bank account was low....i very much missed my parents and felt bad for them spending a Thanksgiving with no kids at home... and a few other more personal matters.  Needless to say, I ate a lot of my feelings.  I am not happy of the fact, because I usually am really good about not letting things get to me, but everything happening all at once just drained me and I turned to food.  This is not something I wanted to admit, but I figure I better be honest.  My goal is to prevent this in the future...because I don't have enough money to buy anymore jeans if these ones get tight...haha.  And I really don't want my life to be consumed with food...I want to "Eat to Live...not Live to Eat".

So, December 1st I got ahold of myself before I could hop too far off the wagon.  My goal this month is to not let the Christmas season get me off track with my health and fitness goals.   Of course I want to enjoy a few good treats, but my goal is to wait for the best- the ones I want the very most- and savor it ever so slowly.  And despite the freezing cold weather, I will bundle myself up like an eskimo and walk my booty a block down the road to get some exercises in at the gym.  And if I can't manage to brave the weather...I will push play in the livingroom.  Poor neighbors... the music, the jumping, the stomping...I'm sure they want to move!

Keep moving along!  :)
