Ah yes, tis the season for spending all my money, eating and drinking too much... oh wait, that has been my MO for a while so what's the difference now? Well, everyone else gets to join in! Oh what fun it is to...
I have already started the Holiday shopping, I will never get it done if I don't start now. I am trying to be conservative this year, the girls have PLENTY of stuff so this year it is going to be more practical gifts, I know a bit boring but our little miss Miley was not a cute puppy in a cardboard box that said "Free!" she is the gift that will keep on giving for years to come. Incidentally, she chewed up my very nice Sony earphones over the weekend, my fault, anything I don't want to become a chew toy I need to keep out of her reach, I got it. I avoid malls at all cost most of the year, now is not an exception but every year there is something I can't seem to get for someone anywhere but a department store or mall, ugh.
Thanksgiving was great, I had friends and family over, we had a great dinner and played guitar hero and pop singer ( not sure if that is the right name) until midnight. I am not into video games but this is actually really fun to play, especially the singing, I would not sing in front of my friends if it was not for the game, guaranteed they thank me for that now that they have heard what I am capable of.
I didn't manage to get any time to ride my bike all weekend or do any other form of exercise besides hiking around Discovery Park. Not only do I feel fat the scale confirms it for me. Worse yet, the lack of exercises sent my back into a downward spiral of pain. I went to my chiro today and it feels better, it is only temporary and will just go back to hurting if I don't strengthen everything around it. I get a deep tissue message tomorrow. 1st one ever, not sure what to expect.
OK I am doing it... I am making a Thanksgiving resolution, (can't wait for New Year to do this) Keep up on the Daily core exercises, ride my bike to work, eat less, no more beer (it is wine season anyway). I want to lose 4 lbs by Christmas, this is a reasonable goal, at this time of year just not gaining is a good goal so I will be very happy if I can dip the scale back even a bit in the month of December.

Maybe we should all give up fruits and vegetables and brown rice and beans for the month of December, and just come right out and have fudge and cookies for dinner. If we didn't eat all those healthy calories first, the indulgences wouldn't be so bad, would they?
Don't temped me!
I have the best fudge, carmel and sweedish cookie recipes that require 1.5 lbs of butter combined.
I could live off this stuff for a while if I gave up all other food sources it couldn't be too bad for me... thanks for the idea stoked!
Ummm, yea, I already tried that program in high school. The day after my 15th birthday I had b-day cake for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner. Figuring that I had got all the requisite calories in for the day, I didn't eat anything else, nay, not even a celery stick. I passed out the next morning before breakfast. Turns out there are only so many empty sugar calories a body can take!
I was only kidding... half kidding. I am trying to visualize where on my body the indulgences would settle if I were to consume them all. Then I think of the sausage suit I will be wearing next spring and I get a nice slap back to reality ;p
