The day after two days of indulgence. Whoa. Do I ever feel it in my body!! LOL!! Like Sharon, sugar is NOT my friend. Tastes so good going down, feels so bad after it is in. YIKES!!! My stocking was full of treats which are now stored securely in a dresser drawer, hopefully will stay untouched for quite some time or at the very least eaten in moderation.
I'm here at the office this morning with not a lot on my plate. I have a coffee date at 10:30 and a staff meeting at 11:30 which is likely to be brief, at least I hope it is. I came in late because I let myself wake naturally after getting to bed at a late hour since I ferried my youngest to the Amtrak station last night. Figure I should go home early since I came in late, right?
I must say ... this Christmas was one of the best we've had for a while. Funny, we had less in the way of gifts and yet it felt like more. I really enjoyed everything. Our family meal, being able to hug my prodigal middle child, singing Christmas songs with my youngest (our favorite CD is Mr. Christmas by Joe Diffie ... we listened and sang along more than once!!!)!! Our youngest played Santa Claus by distributing gifts. This is the first year in several he has had money to purchase gifts for us and he was so delighted as he watched his dad, his grandmother, and I open our gifts. That alone was worth its weight in gold. He did an excellent job too ... so lovely.
I have not stepped on the scale in a few days. I will when I'm ready. The important thing is that I simply get myself back on track. DH has been diligently making changes to his diet and he REALLY wants me to do a cleansing juice fast with him and start juicing wtih him as our primary source of nutrition. I have a juicer but is is rather unwieldy and we have looked at a possible purchase of a new one. I'm seriously considering his suggestion. It is the first time ever he has made dietary changes. I'm not certain I want to do 100% juice but I am thinking about it. We shall see.
I feel overall I've been successful through the holidays. Other than Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I've stayed away from goodies for the most part. I've no desire to continue on my sugar binge. I feel no regret for the indulgences I have enjoyed. I feel confident I will find my way back to my goal weight range. This is good.
Well my friends ... time for me to et something work related accomplished. I am tired. I'm sure it is a combination of strange hours and indulgent food. Actually it is now Starbuck's time!! Have a great day!!
