Here we are with Christmas closing in. I know for myself because I have been so busy getting my own Christmas party together these past few days. My Christmas party is on Saturday and there is lots to do. But most important is to keep the menu for the night as Lean and Green as possible. I have planned lots of fresh cut veggies, various meats and salads. I am sure that someone will show up with some homemade cookies, but it is important to stay away from those and if any are left over… send them home with friends! LOL

I’m glad the party is in my own house because then it’s easier to control myself should I have any urges. I certainly can use a bar as my dessert or make myself some pudding. The good part is there are a lot of options for us on the Medifast Program when the holiday buffet table can get to us. Just need to keep our head clear and not dive into the “bad for us” stuff.

On another note, because I am with my new baby all the time I don’t always get to go for a jog or a hike on a consistent basis. My way to make up for that is, when he is having a nap do something indoors. I do push-ups, sit-ups etc. I also got these new sneakers that are designed to tone you, it’s like the equivalent to walking in the sand. So if you wear them all day, you get a good workout. This is so important when doing Medifast, you must find some sort of activity everyday. Some days will be more than others but best to try to do anything you can. Plus it makes you feel great too!

I am loving my weight loss and feeling so good all the time. I hope you are too!

I must go get this holiday/birthday party together and leave you for now. I will check in next week and let you know how it all went.

Make good solid choices over this holiday season so as to stay on track. Let’s support each other!
