I rolled myself into the gym today.....ok, I waddled into the gym today:) I promised you all a blow by blow of my eating adventure this weekend, so here it is....It started out on Saturday afternoon with homemade chocolate chip cookies (I just ate the dough). At 3:00, I ate lasagna and garlic bread at my in-laws house (I only ate one serving!!!!) Then it was back to our house for a Christmas eve party.....and of course, there were plates and plates of goodies, crackers, deli trays, etc.......yes, I did eat a little bit of everything. The next day, I cooked Christmas dinner....I ate so much, it was hard to breathe!!!! Then decided to top it all off with a piece of pecan pie (oh my God, it was heavenly), with homemade whipping cream! I fell into a coma in the recliner and missed most of my family leaving....then woke up and had a few more bites of pecan pie and then went to bed:) The moral of this story: it only happens once a year, it's ok to splurge!!!

Today, I have eaten really clean, and so far don't appear to have gained much weight....I did an hour of cardio this morning and then lifted heavy tonight. I still feel like I have a "food hangover". My body doesn't do well with calorie dense foods anymore. I am proud to say that I am typing this while eating a big salad with turkey breast and balsalmic vinegar dressing:) I had a smart idea today....I took most of the leftovers to my grandparents' house. They couldn't come to dinner due to health issues, so they were happy to see all of that food. Out of sight, out of mind!

You should have seen my gym today!!! Post holiday guilt.....everyone felt the same as me:) Just about every cardio machine was being used when I walked in. Now we just have to make it through new years! The gym is always packed after all the new years resolutions...then about mid February it dies off again.

Well, off to bed I go. Take care everyone. Love ya,

Tami
