So the holidays are proving to be a tougher time than I anticipated. I didn't think that refined sugar would be such tough opponent, but alas, it is. Today I got together with my Mom, aunt and cousin to make Christmas cookies using my Grandma Wilson's tried and true recipes. (And I also bought a mix for gluten-free cutouts so my son could join in on the fun).
This is where it gets tricky. I know in my head that eating one or two cookies isn't going to undo all of the hard work that I've put in, but my body feels like the stay puffed marshmallow man after eating the chocolate drop with buttercream icing. This logic is totally in my thick nogin, but it is still a process that I am dealing with. Another part that doesn't help is that I was sick over the past 4-5 days and I didn't get in my normal workouts, so in my head I'm thinking I've packed on about 18 pounds. (I know that's not physically possible but that's how my shady little brain works.)
So tomorrow is Monday and back to the land of Boot Camp with the fabulous ladies in the class that I teach. For some reason teaching this class puts me right back in a "healthy" mindset and makes eating healthy foods a whole lot easier. So I'm going to go back to taking it one day, one meal at a time and only think about what is put in front of me each minute. I know that I can make healthy choices and get to my goal, it's just a matter of DOING IT!!
