Low Carb Diva

January 6, 2012

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. Today I am going to celebrate tiny milestones cause that is all I have right now.

Did I cheat over Christmas? Yes. But the good news is I did not make it a complete junk food blow out from Thanksgiving until New Years like I normally do. Instead I had a week on plan and a week off. You know how that goes.

I guess I really just can't have one Christmas cookie! Next year if they get made (and I am strongly considering not doing it) they will be shipped off to family the same day or packaged and boxed to ship the next day.

It is frightening how much weight a person can gain when they start pigging out on junk food.

November 17, 2011 Day 14

Well I'm back. It's been 16 days and yes I am still alive and kicking. The holidays are always the worst time of the year. I always feel like there should be some feeling of warmth and good tidings that I should be expressing and yet every year I fail. Miserably.

Each year I try and recreate those Christmas memories by eating a bunch of crap and then kicking myself January 1st for gaining back a bunch of weight. But not this year.

The holidays can take a hike. If I could I would hibernate from now until January 2nd.

Business is slow, the economy sucks and every time I turn around there is candy, cake, and cookies taunting me with there carby goodness.

So I have been working alongside my husband to get sales and generate revenue for Christmas and meanwhile I just want to say screw the holidays. But we need the Christmas sales to get through and pay bills.

So back to work I go. I will post when the mood strikes but don't count on it that often. I am declaring myself the Christmas Grinch this year.
