So I’ve been busting my butt with regular exercise lately,  eating healthy, watching my calories & nutrition.  Finally, I’m seeing good results.  I’ve only lost a few lbs, but my waist is back down to 22″. (: I don’t want to come off as bragging, & hate talking numbers.  Weight & measurements shouldn’t be important.  It’s all about how you feel.  For the very first time I did this the right way, & I feel amazing.  Healthy diet & exercise is the only way to go. Weight loss fads never work out. Be good to your body, & your body will be good to you.  That simple.

I will be rewarding myself by eating whatever I want on Christmas, (with a vigorous work out to follow).  So expect a lot of yummy food pics next week.  My Mom & I spent several hours grocery shopping last Tuesday, & she’s been baking for weeks.  I’m making two kinds of cheese fondue with a variety of fresh veggies, home made fries, breads, soft pretzels, sausages, and fruit.  Also crab wontons, BBQ & teriyaki chicken wings, & spinach dip.  We’re having turkey, ribs, two kinds of fingerling potatoes with gorgonzola & bacon, parmesan & herbs, my Mom’s mac n’ cheese, & seven layer salad. That’s just off the top of my head.  It’s going to be an all day event.  A massive feast, movies, drinks.  I got my Dad beer, & we’re making sangria.  I’m really looking forward to everything, but I have so much to do! My place is a mess, I have to make space for a big table somewhere.  My family is pretty down right now with health & financial problems. I really want to give them a great holiday.

When I’m a good girl like I have been lately.  This is what breakfast looks like.  Two large eggs fried in Olivio, with flourless sprouted whole grain toast,  (a little more Olivio spread) & a good strong cup of coffee with a bit of non fat milk.  Filling , delicious,  full of protein & fiber.  I think I’ll have to eat even cleaner than this for a good week after Christmas, to cleanse away all the fatty foods and sugary desserts.  Ohhhh dessert! That’ll be a whole new blog entry.
