Every month is a holiday
Total Weight Loss: 13.3* pounds
As many of you are aware, there is a holiday every month. With holidays, come celebrations. With celebrations, come temptations. I’m not even talking about the big holidays. I am referring to all the other occasions that cause people to celebrate: Birthdays, New Years Eve, Valentines Day, St Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Fathers Day 4th of July and so on and so on...
There is no end.
This week, I went to one of those celebrations. This particular event had an appetizer table with mounds of fried finger foods, plates filled with rich cheeses, and worst of all, chocolate brownies. Mingling with friends turned to circling the finger foods. Before Jenny Craig at Home, I would have grazed like it was my last meal. I would have purposely not eaten dinner, knowing that there would be food at the party.
At this event, I filled half of my plate with salad and the rest with fruit. The funny part is that I could hear my voice in my head from the Summer Strategies webisode, "Fill half of your plate with salad or veggies."
Even though I wasn't hungry, I still had to conquer my greatest weakness: wine and champagne. I am convinced that celebrations are disguised occasions to indulge in sugar –and calorie-packed beverages such as my favorite: Cabernet Sauvignon.
Good thing that I planned a splurge. Jenny At Home defines a splurge as 250 extra calories. I drank a glass of wine, which was approximately 100 calories, and I had a few cookies - another 150 calories. To help burn these extra calories, I "planned" some extra activity into my schedule. In addition to my walk/run around the track 4 days this week, I played tennis with a friend for an hour. Believe me, I definitely worked off my splurge and had fun doing it.
Remember, you can do this!
