raise your hand!!!
I resisted, resisted, resisted - until christmas eve, I broke all the rules except avoiding sugar for the past two days. Last night, we got chinese take-out, and I ate until full like four times in five hours....Time to get back on track....good thing is I only gained a pound, in past years I probably would have gained five!
it was so bad for me...coming from a very large very hispanic family we made tamales and since i'm on of the ones who makes them i know all the bad that goes into them so i tried my hardest to resist but failed miserably...we celebrated christmas for 3 days straight each day there was different food not to mention the sweets and alchohol...it was so hard to resist...and yeah i only gained like a pound too...going to the gym today ready to start working out again i havn't been to the gym in almost 2 weeks now...not just cause the holidays but i was also sick so that didn't help not one bit...lol
I managed to stay on track, but it was SO hard. AND my family just found out about my surgery so they kept staring at my plate the whole time and asking questions and my baby bro kept joking with me "mmm Kyra, I LOVE eating and drinking at the same time!!!" what a jerk! lol.. My mom did make this delicious trifle though with kahluah soaked lady fingers and a whipped cream and chocolate filling.. I wanted it SO bad!!!!! I had a tsp full of the filling, felt satisfied and then gross.. so it was a "don't even think about it" warning. Stuffing was also hard to avoid, but I managed.... damn holidays, ruining everything.. lol
Courage isn't doing the right thing without fear, it's being terrified and doing it anyway.
Oh my gosh, I am SO glad they're over. I did really good up untill Chrismas Eve and then it was a trainwreck haha. On the 24th we had a traditional dinner with prime rib, spetzle (my FAVEORITE). mashed potatoes and yummy asparagus, I actually didnt do THAT bad but then on Christmas morning I made brunch for the fam and totally indulged in the BACON at least it's protein though right? haha and THEN we had a huge mexican meal AND cheesy scalloped potatoes for dinner that night and I let all that cheese, sour cream and guac get the best of me.
I also couldn't resit little bites of sweets throughout the whole ordeal and yesterday the leftovers of it all were just calling my name. I would be ashamed but it was SO worth it and I ate WAYYYYYYY less then I would ALWAYS have in the past.
Today it's back to the old routine of lean protein and policing those G-Dang carbs though!!!!
It was fun while it lasted but boy oh boy am I glad that I had my insides remodeled and can't do this all the time!
