Holiday Splurges
Dr. Phil is advertising a new diet, how to stop from gaining the holday 12.
Hello! Splurging on the holiday is not the problem, splurgeing for the next 5 weeks yep could be.
The answer is nothing more than, splurge on the day, yep Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Then eat sensibly for the other 32 days. Hello you don't need to gain during the holiday. You can't eat enough at one meal to gain 12 pounds.
Stop this insanity.

Sleeping on Black Friday.
Well I should have went shopping.
Would be less tire and gotten more sleep.
Watched Santa Paws last night it finished about 11. Kids were two hyped up to go to sleep. Now it is 6:30, I have been up since 4.
Between coughing, snoring, moning, tossing, turning. And I am on the couch. No sleep to be had.
Six kids and I do not make a great night of sleep.
Hope they are all in good moods when they arise, cause I know I won't be.
The tree is kind of decorated. The choo choo is running. So a few things were accomplished.
Turkey day is over and it is on to Merry Christmas.
I made carmel corn and it is good, but I need a lighter coating anyone have a tried and true recipe.

Thankful!
I am thanful.
Thankful that everyday I can decide to get out of bed and move.
That when I do choose to move that I feel better, stronger, need less pain medicine and have less pain.
Thankful that I can do things my way, tho sometime modified from what I use to do.
Thankful that I don't have some of the horrific diseases or situations that others have had to live with this year.
Thankful that I can choose how I live, believe and celebrate.
Thankful that we have been so blessed, with the easy life that we have here in America.
Thankful that we are able to give of ourselves.
Thankful for you family and friends.

Normals
My normal is not your normal.
In most cases that doesn't make mine right and yours wrong or vice versa.
But there are rules to follow, life laws to follow and because your life has not been the best doesn't mean you can't pull up your pants and become a better person.
Isn't that what we all should strive for? Improving ourselves to make life better for others.
Shouldn't we concentrate on being positive, learning, teaching, giving, appreciating what we have.
Shouldn't we remember it doesn't have to be our way.
It should be the way for the better of world.
Shouldn't we know good or bad, easy or hard, it isn't all about you.
Be an example, be good, give of yourself, and be thankful for what you do have.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is this week. A time to gather and give thanks and eat. Again eat and again eat.
You know what? It is okay to indulge yourself on Thanksgiving. How often do you get to eat that turkey and dressing and potatoes and gravy and pie? Once a year right?
If that is all we did we could do it and not have a weight problem, but just like birthdays and any other holiday now days, it becomes a month celebration.
Choose one day to splurge, make it be your favorite cook and recipes, and then eat a normal meal with proper portions at all the other celebrations and enjoy the company instead.
Pretty simple Uhhh?
