Over the holiday hump and away we go......

Ok, so the hardest part is over right? The holidays have come and gone, well the ones we tend to over eat on the most right?

Thanksgiving, Christmas. I honestly think Christmas is worse because there are so many people who give cookies and pies for gifts. I know I am the worlds worst ever for doing that! But this year, Santa would be proud of me, I gave sugar free pies. ;)

So....I dreadfully stepped on the scales yesterday to see what the damage was... and YAY me, I only gained 1 lb. ONE POUND! ROCK ON! I know, how crazy is that to be happy about a gain right? But consider it this way, I am seeing this as a little success story, because usually over the holidays we gain what, 10 lbs? Well that one pound plus another will come off this week with me busting my butt and watching my diet. I don't have any left overs lingering around here taunting me. I sent them off with other people. I gave all the cookies away for gifts and mom made sugar free carb free pumpkin cream cheese muffins for our gift. So I mostly gained from all of the stuffing I "stuffed" myself with...

I didn't restrict myself from what I love about the holidays and I didn't go so over board that I gained a ton. I gained a little, but that may also be water retention, my period is coming up soon. So I am happy that I did ok and it's not so much of a gain that I feel like all of my efforts were wasted.

I am taking the tree down this week so I can get back to my turbo jam. I have the entire set now with the gloves and meal plan. I read over it and ya know what was cool.... they have a simular recipe for protien shakes/smoothies like me. My ingredients are slightly differant, BUT.... simular, and I thought that was awesome, I am definately on the right track.

Welcome to my new readers, we're in this together. ;)
