Just say NO!

Many people are waiting for the New Year to start their healthier eating resolutions. For me I had to seriously start a "Just say No" campaign literary the day after Xmas. These holidays are killing me! It all sort of started in October with Halloween. It was no secret that I really over did it with the chocolate. I ate so much chocolate I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror ugh! But no biggie, I got rid of whatever chocolate was left around by November 3 & did a little extra working out to burn off all that fat sugar & chocolate. Before you know it Thanksgiving was right around the corner and of course I had to start baking. I baked some pecan pies and some sweet potato oatmeal bars. I swear I must have convinced myself that those bars were healthy because I ate the whole tray! Wow! Like if all the turkey and food wasn't bad enough :/ 

So Thanksgiving is over and here comes December. December was just a total disaster! It started in the beginning of the month. First it started with Carlos's daughter coming to visit from Chicago on December 5 & of course Carlos orders a Gyro and some White Castles from Chicago. I have outgrown the White Castle burgers but a Chicago Gyro Hello??? You just cant get a Chicago Gyro in Miami! So, of course I ate half of it. The next day we had a Xmas party and guess what? The next day we had another Xmas Party and then the next day it was Carlos's birthday and of course we had to cut him a cake! After that I thought I would have a break before the Real Xmas but no the following weekend my neighbor just happens to have his 75th birthday bash and guess what? More food lots of food! Then another Xmas party on the 20th, OMG then if that wasn't enough my daughter's 18th birthday was the 21st & if I wouldn't get her a cake she wouldn't talk to me! So we go get another birthday cake just days before Xmas!!! Aye Aye Aye I just wanted to be transported to a deserted island and be left there with just water to survive for at least 3 weeks! I was just so over it! So I said "this is it"! 

On Xmas Eve I said to Semyra my oldest lets do Tropical park bleachers and bike the 20 miles tomorrow, she said lets do it and we did on Xmas day! But seriously exercise was not enough. I said to myself " Annette you got to stop! You need to Just say no! if someone ask you. Do you want cake? say no, if they ask, do you want chocolate? just say no! Do you want to eat? no, no, no, no" All kidding aside if I don't say no I will keep eating & I have to be stronger than that and Just say no! 

But then guess what? Here I am on my 3rd day of Just say no and wouldn't you know it my brother in law comes in to visit from Chicago and they want to get breakfast that turned out to be a big lunch. But I did good :) I got a grilled chicken sandwich only ate half and I didn't eat those fried mariquitas they give you with the sandwich ;)

OK, so I'm not that crazy I knew I couldn't do a total detox when we still have New Years to go, so I have been eating somewhat good the past several days, no sugar or chocolate or any of the other crazy stuff I was over indulging with. I am really looking forward to the end of the year. We do have a couple of parties we have been invited to and Yes I will drink champagne and Yes I will eat but come January 2 2014, its a Total Detox to release those evil toxic demons ugh! And just be normal again ;)
