As i get closer to my healthy lifestyle goal, it made me think, Who’s excited for the Holiday season?

This Guy is!

LOL. I say that as i get to see me entire extended family, who last saw me 35 pounds heavier, that means i get the huge ego boast of people telling me how good i look, (and the bad "your to skinny" comments).

I also know how to eat, and if i a happen to overindulge, my metabolism and my workouts will click in to help offset any weight i may gains.

I love the holiday season, but this year is going to be great!!!!

    ME!

    I am not in one single holiday pic from last year because I was so fat and hiding. I won't be this year.

    I'm estatic! Going to visit my parents. Since I'm a jobless loser I can spend as long as I want there. Planning 1 week and Thanksgiving and 2 at Christmas. Sure beats all the years when I've only been able to spend a day or two. It is like being a little kid again when I visit, makes me very happy (except when they want me to do chores... I'm a guest now, damnit!)

    Also can't wait to bake my heart out, since I never bake at home because I'm the only one to scarf it down :p

    I probably should have said this before, but i am excited to spend the time with my wife and Kids. In the end, they are what make the holiday season great.

    I'm excited! It's my first year in a house, instead of a tiny third floor apartment, and on top of that, it's the fifth year of christmas with hubby, and we agreed a real tree every five years. Gonna decorate this place til it looks like a christmas disco ball!
    Not so much looking forward to my extended family drama, but I'm going to get through it. Very excited for my kiddos, 4 and 2, and the joy that little ones have when they see all the pressies.
    Feeling great about holiday food. This is the first year that I know I can prepare and do a great workout before big meals so I don't feel so sad about having to say no to pie.
