Skinny Minny Is Better Than Fat Pat

TODAY'S MOTIVATION

Ahhh, lazy Sunday. That's what today's going to be. Just doing whatever. Trying not to go anywhere cause Maya has had a lot of time in the car lately.

To be honest, on days like today it is hard to stay motivated. Today I am simply telling myself that being thinner and healthy feels a lot better than any short term enjoyment of food on the naughty list. Hopefully that thought sticks with me today.

With the holidays coming I am determined to find some desserts that are low in fat and sugar. I found this one. I might give it a try.  I'll let ya know how it goes.

I've kind of been getting into the Christmas spirit a bit early this year. Maybe it's because I have a lot of parties at the beginning of December this year and need to get my shopping done a bit early. Anyhoo, thought I would share some of my favourite Christmas songs. I love lots of Christmas music...yes I'm one of those people that listens to the Christmas music radio station before December.

These three songs I always loved since I was a kid. Maybe it's because of the Charlie Brown Christmas sound track. Maybe it's because I actually do like some kinds of jazz music. Maybe it's just because I like the melodies. Maybe it's just 'cause I love'em, which I do.

I also found this cool web site that is kind of like twenty questions, only it's supposed to guess what you want for Christmas. It guessed mine every time. Check it out here.  It will make you laugh for sure!

TODAY'S MOTIVATION

I'm not gonna lie. Lately I have been losing a bit of my motivation because the numbers on the scale have just not moved a whole lot. I know it's not just about the scale but when you are working towards a goal it is hard to ignore. Sometimes I think...what's the point to all of this. But then I see other people who have gone through a similar journey. I see their before and after pictures and I see how they are doing now and remind myself that I can do this to, I just have to keep trying. So today, I am motivated by other's progress because if they can do it so can I.

I'd have to say though, it has been a bit rough this time of year in terms of being around junk food all the time. Between birthdays and halloween, it seems I am always faced with fast food, desserts, and the like as we are on the go attending such festivities. It's hard to plan around it sometimes. I have done pretty good so far, but I would just like to say that it makes me a bit cranky sometimes. Not because I am not allowing myself to eat the junk food, but because it messes up with my routine of eating at home and of having control of what I can make to eat. Sometimes I end up eating an early dinner so that when I go places I have already eaten something healthy but then by the time I get home and go to bed I am hungry again. But such is life. I know it is just going to get worse as Christmas approaches but what can ya do?

Don't you think Skype is such a great thing? Last night Maya was able to show off her lady bug costume to  a bunch of family members with just a few quick calls. 

Speaking of which, I am not dreading my reflection on skype as much these days. 

Here are a few more pictures of Maya in her Halloween costume getting ready to visit some friends.

Hope your Halloween was fun!
