I really do not want to use the holidays as a reason to put on the feed bag and nosh to my stomach's content. Stomach does not always talk to brain and if they are not working together there can be serious consequences!
Prior to the holidays I was eating much cleaner and was very aware of avoiding processed foods and wheat products. I had much more energy, my joints felt better, and I was thinking clear and not in a fog. My tummy liked me......liked me a lot! I had eliminated much of the discomfort I had previously. So what could possibly tempt me into going back to the 'other side'? The promise of comfort and something special. Aren't most of the holiday memories about delicious food; the preparation, sharing, and eating. C'mon, Italians celebrating Christmas eve with the feast of the 7 fishes!! In my family feast now, I was lucky to get 4 different fish dishes.....I have 2 non fish eaters, 1 vegetarian, 1 carnivore, and some friends who really have no preference......they just come for the party!
On top of all of that, I have had one ailment after another from tummy issues to sinus infection and other things in between. My workouts have been seriously interrupted. NOT ANYMORE! Tomorrow I will be back to Jazzercise and walking the dog after work. I am not letting darkness hamper our fun time......a flashlight is my friend.
This being said, it is a new beginning...let the good times roll!!
