1 More day

Oh my goodness I am so nervous about getting on that scale tomorrow! How are you guys feeling?  I bet some of you have already surpassed your first goal.  Good for you! Keep up the good work! For those of you in the same boat as me, don't give up! We will get there! We are just enjoying life a little too much ;) Nothing wrong with it.  We have quite a few months until bikini season anyway.

I have had a quiet day at work today so I have continued baking loads of holiday treats!.  I have never been into baking, but for some reason this year I can't get enough of it! I have 4 containers of cookies in the freezer already!  Don't worry I do not plan on eating all of them.  I have decided that for 2012 everyone has enough stuff so I am doing something with a little more of a personal touch.  I hope everyone will like it!

The problem with holiday baking is that you are constantly sampling things.  That is what I have noticed over the past few days of my baking craze.  I mean you have to make sure they are editable for your family and friends right?  Well don't do what I did and eat a whole cookie.  The key is to make a small bite sized portion of whatever you baked and consume that piece.  That will give you the taste to make sure they are done to your liking and you get a treat too, but not all the calories.

Also, keep drinking water and definitely add some lemon.  Lemons and limes are excellent fruits that will increase  your metabolism.  Add the lemon or lime to your water throughout the day, not just a the morning, this will keep those sugars and fats running through your system instead of them just taking up camp on your rump.

And if you know you are going to bake a lot one day, maybe do some form of physical activity before or after.  That will at least make room for the calories you may consume so that it's almost balanced out.

Well I will see you guys tomorrow morning, 5lbs down or not :)
