The Most Wonderful Time of the year..

So, it's here. Starting tomorrow, let the eating and drinking begin. Parties, dinners, Pumpkin  everything, with a side of EggNog everything. In the words of Dennis DeYoung, the best and worst of times. We will struggle from now until New Years's Day to not eat and drink everything in sight.
No one is more excited than I am for all the holidays have to offer. I woke up at the crack of dawn today, excited to get to the grocery store and buy all my ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner. I already have made three delicious dishes, and none of them are Weight Watcher friendly. Mind you there are two of us, and I will have enough food for six. I mean Hanukkah and Thanksgiving on the same night! Foodie dream come true, there will be Latkes.
How do we take control of this situation? How do we keep from gaining ten pounds in four weeks?
Lets start by conceding to the fact, we might pick up a pound or two. But, there are plenty of days in between the celebrating to eat healthy. There are lots of days and nights without a party to go to.
I am going to try and stay strong on the days I can, and not beat myself up on the days I indulge.
It will be a fight to the finish, but I am up to the challenge.
Happy Holidays to all!
Until next time, Stay Strong!!
