Holiday Indulgences and New Year Resolutions

 I really ate way too many yummy, but sinful things these past two weeks!  It has been a non-stop smorgasbord of sweetness!  Mom and Dad brought several Danish kringles to eat.  This was a traditional Christmas treat throughout my childhood.  Then I used to pick out the raisins because I thought they were gross (a feeling my son currently shares), but the rest of it is delectable!

I brought the 3 pound box of Cummings Studio Chocolates.  They are so good that I dare not even imagine how many calories they manage to pack into just one piece!  I ended up sending the last pound of it home with Mom and Dad.  It didn't take much convincing. 

There was also Deanna's home made chocolate covered toffee, a giant box of chocolate covered cherries that Trina brought, and various random chocolate oranges and other yummy goodies.  Oh.  And barrels and barrels of soda!

Oi!

I need a detox!

Now, about resolutions. 

I don't think I will make any.  Nope.  In my less humble than it should be opinion, resolutions are for weak people who make them on New Year's Day and break them by Valentine's Day.

Not me, anymore.

I am just going to continue on this lifestyle path I have decided on and been living now for many months.  If you disregard the past two weeks of debauchery (where my stomach is concerned), I have been living a simple code...

No soda until the weekend.  Drink more water.  Exercise regularly (daily) but not insanely.  Make sure to get some protein in there after a workout.  Eat one serving of everything, but don't bother counting calories.  A little treat now and then is just that, a treat.  Relax and be happy with how my body is SLOWLY becoming what I want it to be.  Meaning stronger and better able to have fun!

That might sound like a bunch of resolutions, but it really isn't.  It is just what I was already doing.  I am just going to keep on keeping on in my quest for a happy me!

Here's to life!
