Off to a Tournament

The hardest part about hockey tournaments, other than biting your nails while your kid is getting knocked into the boards, is the constant eating out.

The last tournament, I took plenty of food so we could have sandwiches in the room. The free breakfast buffet? Oh no, I gave the coupons to the boys and I ate in our room. I only indulged on the very last day, because as we all know, buffets are death on an eating plan. Too much temptation, too many goodies that I should NOT be eating.

So here we go again. It's only overnight, so only tonight and tomorrow to avoid temptation. I'll do my best to make good choices and practice moderation -- but if they have those yummy Mexican-style scrambled eggs, with cheese, tomatoes and chiles, oh dear, I might be through...

Resolutions, Resolutions

1) I resolve to eat better.

2) I resolve to cut back on sugar.

3) I resolve to do more yoga .

4) I resolve to dance to the music every day.

I'm not going to resolve to lose weight, because if I follow through on the resolutions that I've made, I'll lose weight naturally.

Maintaining a healthy weight is a lifestyle change.

I've had a lot of changes in the last year. Surgery, retirement, self-employment, moving to a new state -- all are huge lifestyle changes. This coming year, I want my only huge lifestyle change to be implementing a healthier lifestyle.

All the rest is just icing on the cake.
(Mmmm, cake... Down my inner donkey, down!!)
