The holidays came and with them, as always, the food. I started out doing pretty well because we didn't have a whole lot of family stuff going on, however the longer the holidays went on the worse my eating got. My coworker was complaining non-stop about how much she was working and constantly talking about indulging because we deserve it. Even as I type it I know it sounds ridiculous but when everyone is being merry no one wants to be the stick in the mud who's only eating vegetables.
The wonderful thing is as much as I indulged, it was far less than I have in other years, I still cooked up until my New Year's Eve party and haven't cooked since because of the massive amount of food we have left over. Another thing I was very excited about was the large amount of water I drank on New Year's Eve so I woke up on the first morning of 2014 feeling great! Not something that has happened in the last couple of years.
One of my best boxing day purchases this year is a recumbent bike! That's how I have finally been getting my act together and my butt in gear. Okay let's be honest, I've biked 2 days in a row, but I am super proud of myself. I was watching tv after eating my supper and my hubby was eating chips with delicious dip next to me, now I really wanted to eat those chips but I decided to go bike for a half hour instead. Now my heart feels good, my endorphin's are flowing through my body and even if I have those chips I am closer to my goal of getting myself healthy.
