Yup, the Holidays are here. Right here---they are settling on my tummy and my hips. I need to get in some exercise. 152.8 was this mornings weigh-in. About a half a pound weight gain from last Friday. We will be headed over to the in-laws later today. They live in an actual subdivision with paved roads that aren't highway (read crazy drivers). I hope to be able to get in some walks or some bike riding while we are there....this will help combat the crazy food week + that is ahead of me.
My mother-in-law is a wonderful person. But she is constantly trying to shove food down anyone that is in the house's throat. After a while it just become easier to say 'yes' than it is to listen to her list everything over and over ad nasuem. I love her and wouldn't trade her for the World, but she makes it hard to keep my calorie count down.
Push-ups, sit-ups, walks and bike rides....not to mention bowling and possibly some frisbee golf.
Oh, but I do have to make the desserts for my family's Christmas dinner. Desserts for 20. ACK!! How many pies will that be? Oh, and I have to make some dirt pudding because it is my nephew and my neice's favorite.
dirt pudding
pumkin pie
pecan pie
apple pie
watergate salad (not a dessert, but something my Mom specifically asked for)
Oh, and the Green Bean Casserole.
~sigh~
Here's to healthy eating and hopefully a good check-in in two weeks. (Vacation next week, will still be at my in-laws with a different scale than my own...) 'See' you on the 4th!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
half a pound gain is really pretty good, considering all the temptation that's around everywhere at this time of year!! I wish you all the best with the next two weeks of tiptoeing through the yummies!
Merry Christmas, my friend!!

Have a great Holiday. I agree with morgat. half a pound is not much...just a natural fluctuation.
You never know, though, your healthy lifestyle, walking and such may rub off on someone else!!! Have fun with the fam. and I can not wait to hear about your exotic time in India.
