THANKSGIVING... GIVING THANKS

Well I successfully made it through Thanksgiving without over doing it at all. I stuck to ham and nothing else. I didn't have desert or anything starchy. The only things I ate were ham and cheese, Oh wait I had One cracker but it didn't sit well so I stuck to plain cheese. I barely ate and mostly had protein shakes. I am very proud of myself and hoping that I do as well through the rest of the holiday season.

I lost my job last week so I have a lot of time on my hands now. I'm trying not to eat my boredom away. I have been trying to stay busy. The first two days I pouted because I loved my job and I no longer have that to look forward to. Then We celebrated Thanksgiving, then Friday and Saturday I spent ALL day cleaning. I got my house into tip top shape. My fiance has been trying to pick up the slack but you know the old saying if you want it done right do it yourself. GOD love him for trying but it just wasn't the way I do it. I had no time before for the cleaning and laundry because I am also a full time student. So now I have the house all clean and yesterday I got a bunch of tattoos. My fiance does tattooing on the side., Sooooo today will be my real test. I do not want to eat away my boredom so I bought a billy blanks dvd and a julian michaels dvd. I used to do billy blanks before and that was so much fun. I am going to try it again today. And I bought the julian one to change things up. Maybe do one one week the other the next week then back to the first one.

I feel guilty because I am baking this year and selling my baked goods. It's like the fat girl is trying to spread the fat or something.. I have to keep reminding myself that not everyone is like me. Not everyone will buy a dozen of cookies and eat the whole dozen themselves. That SOME people can eat sweets in a healthy portion not like me. But anyway, with me being out of work, and knowing how to bake this seemed like the best way to make some money. Also it's a little selfish too because when I am cooking or baking I tend to not want to eat what I'm making so that helps me to concquor my desire to binge. Wish me luck cuz I really need the money.

I'm so impressed with how I handled Thanksgiving and at how successful I was that I'm not to worried about Christmas. We are basically going to be celebrating by having dinner and watching movies together in our pj's. No presents this year ( we exchanged presents on thanksgiving... showig our thanks for each other by giving presents ) so there is no real pressure for christmas. I had a good holiday and I'm happy with that. And again, I'm proud of myself. I did good. Oh and I lost almost a pound in the last week :D

ANYWAY, have a good day today everyone and if you have any suggestions as to how i can fill some of my time let me know. Cuz spare time is a recipe for disaster for me.
