What a great night!

So the Christmas party was really great tonight :) Approximately 240 people came and everyone had a Christmas dinner and a gift card!

There were many games including one where they had to make a snow many out of toilet paper and people :)

A quick post!

Today i've cleaned up the house, met with my walking group and made a canning pot full of cranberry sauce, oh and a small pot of sugar free cranberry sauce!!

Talk about busy :)

Tomorrow will be the annual Christmas party where i volunteer and we are expecting approximately 250 people!!

I'm going to stick to a light dinner and maybe a small dessert square, i hope :)

Hope you are having a great week and staying warm! Tomorrow night we are supposed to get our first snow storm so you know i'll be out Wednesday morning to take pictures.

Lesson learned!

Yesterday i was having a great day.

I'd woken up early so i had enough time for a walk before work.

I'd eaten an awesome breakfast :) as usual

I had a nice healthy lunch! Well except for the honey graham mini cookies. Which are actually not too bad but....

Have i told you that i really try to stay away from sugar and white flour?? It is a major trigger for me. And i know that moderation works for a lot of people it simply doesn't work for me. I cannot eat white sugar, or white flour.

So after i'd eaten the honey grahams i was still hungry (absolutely wasn't but i felt that i was)

So i proceeded to eat another packet, and then i went on the hunt in the kitchen for anything that had either of those ingredients!

I knew what i was doing, but i didn't want to stop. It's definitely an addiction or a blood sugar thing.

Quitting smoking was easier than this!!!!

And off to work i went, where they sell nothing but white flour and sugar in almost everything they sell.

Can you guess what i was eating all night??

Yep, junk!

But then when i got home, i sat down and tried to figure out why this had happened. Because while i was doing it i honestly didn't know what had brought this on after so many healthy eating days!

So i took out my journal book and looked at what i was eating. As i looked through breakfast, no nothing there that i haven't eaten before and not have trouble with. Then i looked at lunch and whammy the cookies. I hadn't eaten them in a long time but i'd seen them in the cupboard and thought i should use them up.

Now i will give them to someone else who doesn't have a problem with them. The hubs has no problem with sugar he can take it or leave it.

I'm going to be more vigilant in watching what i eat. And this doesn't mean that i'll never have sugar or white flour i'm sure, but i am going to really watch if and when i do eat them and see if i have a reaction to them.

Today i'm back to eating foods that i feel good eating and that don't leave me wanted to eat the entire contents of my cupboards :)

Do you have foods that you cannot eat in moderation?? How do you handle this?

Would honestly love to hear your thoughts!!

These pictures make me smile :)

Banana split


Can you see the squirrel?

Question Day Again!!

1. How many keys are on your key chain??

2. Bath or shower??

3. What is your favorite way to eat eggs?

4. Do you weigh/measure your portions of food??

5. Who does the dishes in your house??

6. Have you planned on exercising today?

Have fun with these and as usual i can't wait to read the answers :=)

This made me smile :)

The hubs was eating lunch the other day which included shrimp! Well he's not the only one who loves shrimp so does Snuffy.
Now Snuffy knows he's not allowed on the table so he sat in my chair and hubby put Snuffy's plate on my place mat. Well Snuffy proceeded to take one piece in his mouth jump down on the floor, eat it. Then go back on the chair for more!
Honestly it was so funny watching them have lunch together :)
