Surviving the Holidays

The ups and downs of the holidays are killing me. not really killing me as much as the tempations of the holidays are. I love food, the good, bad and the ugly. So when my sweet neighbors bring their sweet gifts, I go crazy trying to pretend not eating them is so easy, but it's so so so not easy! I have resorted to making my favorite healthy cookie balls, and snack on those instead, it's helping but not the answer. This is where I meed to call down on a higher power for strength, seriously! I know I'm not alone in this journey, and whenever I ask God for help, he delievers! Also support from family and friends is iffy at best( no offense ) But this is my journey not theirs, so I can't complain. My support comes from my like-minded Terrafit group of 5, God, and my desire for change. Am I perfect, HE Doubble hockey sticks NO! But A cheat meal once a week is justabout there. I still struggle and with the holidays, plus trying to cram 24 work hours in a week so I can keep my vrs job. But the shifts have been starting for me at 6am!! ugh, and I am so not a morning person, so needless to say I am a sleepy hot mess. I had displayed more human errors from lack of sleep this last week than I have in the last month, and making mistakes is my mo, so that's saying alot!! Anyways, any Healthy, skinny, positive comments, words or thoughts sent my direction would be greatly appreciated at this juncture in my life. Update on weightloss 4weeks down, and also 18.5lbs down too! I want to loose another 15lbs this next month. Wish me luck!
