tuffin it out

so its this wonderful time of the year again...the holiday season where you are surrounded by family, friends, and food...lots and lots of food! i don't really do any cooking or baking so i normally don't participate in those cookie baking parties or holiday pot lucks at work. so what am i afraid of...well the leftovers of course. i think my office is the main grounds for leftovers. for the pass two weeks there has been some kind of dish or plate full of cookies left on the counter. my desk is in the back so i'm constantly walking by this. i have held in my temptation pretty good, only had about two cookies, small pieces of course just to have a taste. it's been working out pretty well. but that's not the worst part...once i have finished work this week, i have then to go to christmas parties, open houses, and of course football parties too which everything will have lots of food! this is why the average american gain 7 lbs over the holidays and just when you think you can't eat anymore along comes new years eve parties. i think i would feel better with all of this if i could just work out or do some kind of exercise. i tried to take a walk with my dog the other night just to enjoy the outdoors and the big snowfall we had. well with me getting over foot surgery and the wetness turned into ice at that time, wasn't such a good idea. next time i think i will leave rocky home. he literally pulled me around on the ice because i just couldn't walk fast enough for him. so maybe when i try to do my next walk i won't take the dog, just until i can get back to my normal pace again. so here it comes and the best i can do is just tuff it out and be simple and don't pig out. we see what the results are next week. woohoo can't wait to see that.

happy holidays and happy happy new year!
