It's Christmas day. Normally the holidays are just the excuse I need to justify stuffing myself full of whatever unhealthy crap I can get my hands on. Cake, cookies, pies. . . you name it and I've made up an excuse as to why it needs to be on the holiday menu. This year was surprisingly different. I told myself I was waiting until Jan 4 to get serious about my fitness because the holidays were coming and whatever excuses seemed plausible.
Yesterday I convinced the hubby to do Burn Intervals with me and as the sweat was dripping off me I wondered what would possess me to think we should host a dessert social on Saturday. So today I woke up and exercised. I'm one workout away from completing my first week of ChaLean Extreme as directed in the guidebook and it feels really good. After getting my butt kicked doing Burn 3 I decided enough was enough. We ate a relatively harmless meal. Well harmless in comparison to what I'd normally have eaten. We had chicken, baked sweet potatoes, stuffing and cranberry relish. I didn't overeat. There was no pie or cake for dessert. Just fruit. I am pleasantly surprised by the way the day went. I feel so thankful to have finally realized that it's not all about willpower. This weight loss thing is actually about desire. You have to want results more than you want that next donut. I think I've finally felt the burn of desire. What a perfect Christmas gift. Oh and speaking of Christmas gifts, this year the only gift I got was ChaLean Extreme. It was an investment in my future and honestly it felt better than new clothes or shiny electronics. Happy holidays!
