Learned something new about myself. It wasn't the food at Christmas that got to me. It was the sneaking. I don't know who I was sneaking from -- myself, others, or God. As Job made a covenant with his eyes, I made one with my mouth. I will not lie. I did indulge, just not the extent as I have in times past. I kept my indulging very small -- a Hershey's mini, a total count of six cookies for the week, two one inch cubes of something too sweet to be considered food, and about an eighth of a cup of sweet yams, that is my confession. Moreover, I stuck with whole grain breads, egg whites, turkey based meats, my own trail mix -- walnuts, sliced almonds, sunflower seads, white raisins, and dried cranberries -- and yes, lots of water.
A new year begins at the end of this week. I can hardly wait to see what it has in store. I've got a health club membership for Christmas and can't wait to get that started. I'll still keep checking in every Saturday.
Lookin' good!!! Keep up the good work, I know your sweet wife appreciates it!!!
