There are a lot of temptations this week. A LOT! I've been doing good with resisting them thus far and I hope to continue to be good. Aaaaaah! It's just sooo stressful!!! I've been in the house with my kids A LOT, and they've been screaming and fighting, A LOT! I did something to my lower back and so I have to be careful with what I'm doing for exercise. And of course, Christmas is coming up on Saturday. I'm not saying that I'm throwing in the towel this week, not at all, but I have a lot of obstacles I'm facing in trying to stay on track.
I was at my parent's house yesterday and I resisted Andes mint candies, these chocolate cake swiss roll type things they had, chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, and Russian tea cakes....but it was SO SO SO hard not to eat any!!!! I'll be at a Christmas party tomorrow, my neighbors will be bringing over Christmas goodies at some point this week (like we all do every year), my daughter's birthday is tomorrow, my in-laws are coming over for Christmas Eve dinner and dessert on Friday night, Christmas is Saturday, and my parent's are having a huge Christmas party on Sunday.
I better get some type of plan in place now...or I'm. in. trouble!!!! I'm open to suggestions from people. (hint hint, this means I'm REALLY hoping people put up some comments for me).
One idea you can do is to set a limit of 3 desserts all this week. You can have something, but not everything. Sound good?
ReplyDeleteI think you should stay strong, and resist temptations and treat yourself on Christmas Day only.
ReplyDeleteThank you "Anonymous". I had some cake and ice cream for my daughter's birthday today, and I had two cookies last night. I'm not going to have anything tomorrow and possibly on Friday. I actually might not have any sweets Christmas day either because I know they'll be a few things I'll want to have at my family party on Sunday. I'll keep you posted on how I do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice.
