Yea, I fell off after the whole 5-day post-Providence workout soreness but I'm back now. I have to be. Workouts will be the only thing helping me break even as I (gingerly) indulge through the holiday season. Seriously, the workplace has become a minefield. First, there's the obvious holiday stuff: the bowls of candy, cookies, cakes... the potlucks we have every Sunday when our regularly-scheduled butthead co-supervisor gets rescheduled by
his supervisor who, evidently, knows we need a break. No lie, every time we find out he's not going to be our Sunday supervisor we throw a party! They've become veritable blow-outs. There's the ten for ten$ giant Symphony bar sales at Kroger... At least I haven't hogged down everything in sight. Still, all the little treats add up so I've become very serious about physical activity to, at least, prevent weight
gain. After the holidays are over and the treats are gone, I'll be okay. But, dig this, I'm still eating one or two servings of vegetables before about 80% of my meals. It really helps fill me up and I get my nutrition. Sometimes, that little trick helps me keep my paws off the cookies. If you don't have room, you don't have room
.
Oh and there's one more thing: I am VERY prepared if a snowstorm happens and I'm trapped at the house. I know it's bad but the last time I couldn't get my car out of the snow and ice I was stuck at home thinking how I'd KILL for a hot dog and a piece of chocolate cake. I have A LOT of dangerous food in the house for just that reason. But I also have all the right stuff, too. I wouldn't do that if it weren't for how desperate I got in past snow storms...
