Weathering the Holidays

Ok - jawz is really, really working overtime with me and my enlightenment of his intentions doesn't always catch me in time. I know this too will work out and I constantly remind myself that I am committed to this process and to my healthy-fit consciousness.

It also seems that now that I'm so much closer to my goal weight that it's harder to stay the course. It's like I'm allowing more exceptions to creep in. I'm sure Mark F will have something to say about this!

Regardless, I KNOW I'm not the same person I was 3 months ago - not by a long shot. Mark and I are even talking about not going with friends next May to the St Michael's Wine Festival weekend, or at least cutting our participation to one day. It just doesn't have the same appeal to me now - and the only thing that's changed in this picture is me. So, I know this is working.

I've even picked out a couple of healthier dishes for Christmas morning - we always do a special breakfast - traditionally a stuffed french toast with real Vermont maple syrup. It's time for new traditions.

I hope that we're all tiring out jawz and he'll snooze more thru the remaining days of this holiday season. Sending you all the warmest, healthiest, and most empowerful! wishes for your Christmases. Love YOU! Gerri
