Heading into stormy seas, two birthday parties, three Christmas parties. Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride!0 -

My left Achilles is sore from running too much, my right hip is sore since I started running again, my right shoulder is always sore. Love to limp to the gym and stomp on these gremlins. Use it or lose it. I know I will be sore if I exercise or if I don't. Would rather give my body a reason to be sore and challenge these gremlins.

It has been a disaster of a week. I thought I had zero social events until I ended up with four. You know what? It is what it is. I will just do the best i can to be careful meal by meal and if I have too much chocolate or champagne on any given day, well, I wll just have to take the consequences and get back to a better routine once the holidays are over. I will just be grateul that people invite me to things and are kind enough to put out spreads of stuff I don't allow myself to have at home or in the general course of daily life. i just am not the type to bring hummus or crudite to munch on when I know darn well I am going to eat the lasagna or chocolate cake anyway.0

I am a firm believer that all eating should be done with a smile on your face. There are a lot of reasons why you can be happy while you eat at these gatherings. There is a difference in the body when you feel guilt, shame, remorse or anger versus happiness. Celebrate with the knowledge that this is not something that continues after the holidays.0 -
That is a refreshing idea... taking joy from the food; expressing gratitude instead of negative emotions.nikkib0103 wrote: »It has been a disaster of a week.

At supper this evening, the extended family gathered and chatted. Plenty of food to be had and those of us who were trying to be careful of portions, skipping dessert, etc all conceded over-eating was pretty easy. Someone offered the comparison of dealing with other bad habits like smoking or drinking alcohol. I rebutted that saying if someone quits smoking or drinking, it is a struggle but neither alcohol nor tobacco are essential for life. One cannot simply quit eating without consequence.
The dietitian who I'm seeing talks about changing one's relationship with food. Refining how I view meals has proven difficult for me but perhaps I am approaching it from the wrong mindset. "Food" for thought.0 -
Once the holidays are over, I find that I don't eat certain things. I don't eat my beloved Lindt truffles except for Chrsitmastime. I rarely have alcohol, except for super special occasions if it isn't December. So I am just going to roll along and at least eat like normal for breakfast and lunch but enjoy my outings. Because I tell you, once January rolls in, nobody wants to do anything much and I am back to yogurt and almonds for snacks. Both of which I like anyway. I sometimes wish I was like a friend of mine who is a horrible cook and actually does not really enjoy food.0

I had a challenging weekend as I had two birthday parties and holiday prep to do, but I managed to get through it and do pretty well.0

It is the beginning of the work week and I just saw this Goals vs. Gremlins. What a perfect day to participate.
1. 10,000 steps (easy to do when I am not on vacation)
2. Log food
3. Exercise even if it is only a little bit each day.
4. Find 15 minutes for my choice for me (ex.: read, sit outside, or puzzles, etc.)
I'm ready: GO! :_0 -
We all need to realize we are human. We aren't on the website because we have been underweight all our lives. I will manage the best I can, not eat too horribly and try to get in some exercise. Just being aware will make this holiday season much more successful than my "eat everything in sight" holidays of the past.0
