Christmas Challenge

Ok, so you know how I said I was going to lose 15 pounds by Christmas? Well, I told my husband. He is THE MOST competitive person I have ever known. So, he will totally lose 15 pounds now, because I have challenged him. Hopefully, that will help to keep me on track--its hard to eat salad for dinner while he's having pizza :-)) We'll see how that turns out.

I am planning to eat good all day every day--except for Christmas parties and gatherings. Then I am going to eat what I want. Otherwise, that would put a big damper on the holidays. I've been looking at Christmas recipes. Mmmmmmm. I need to make a little shopping list, and go to the grocery. I'm going to attempt to make a bananas foster cake this year. I also will make some "white trash" at some point, with Ghiradelli white chocolate. OMG!! Its very good. BUT, if you don't get the chocolate NOW, you won't get it. It sells out. BIG plans.

I also have to trim the tree, and deck the halls, and get my big ass to the Y! I'm hoping challenging Brian will help me get to the Y more often. Exercise will definitely help in this "15 pounds before Christmas" thingy. We'll see how this goes. Hopefully, I can pull this off. I CAN, its just a matter of if I stick with it. Stay tuned. Merry Christmas!!! (I say Merry Christmas)
