Goal for the Holiday Season

Hi everyone. I hope you enjoyed your recent Halloween evening. My husband and I love the holidays and it starts with Halloween for us. We are big “kids” at heart and decorate our home for all the young children in our neighborhood.

As far as my weight loss goes, I’m down 20 lbs. It has been slow going and I’ll admit that I have had a few more carbs in my diet in the last month. My goal during holiday times is to hold on to my current weight loss. This is not a race for me. I’ll lose the other 20 lbs after the first of the year. I have a vacation planned in the near future and Thanksgiving/Christmas is right around the corner. 

I remain in faith with the Lord knowing he will strengthen me during times of weakness….and we all have times of weakness. One of my weaknesses is that I love to bake this time of year. I modify the recipes as I can…but I’m not the “Food Police” during the holidays. I will continue to do the best I can and you should as well. Don’t worry if you overeat during a party, etc. Just try to do better the next day. 

I’m thankful for the 20 lbs I lost in 4 months and I know God helped me to find my path. He will continue to grant me grace day after day for as long as I need it. That’s the wonderful thing about the Lord….his love and help are limitless.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas season this year. I look forward to all new possibilities in 2015…and you should too!
