Quick recap...
Christmas morning breakfast
Items under the Christmas tree with my name included:
Franks Red Hot Sauce (size JUMBO)
A crockpot
Craisins, Special K Bars & Fiber One Bars
Later that day, we went over to our
friends house, Lynn (Hi Lynn!)
My plate, full of crackers, meat & cheese,
deviled eggs, meatballs, bread & cheese dip
I didn't eat all the meatballs or cheese dip.
I did though win the jackpot!
Then I snacked some more
Overall, Christmas day went well. It was a sad day but not too overwhelming. Oddly enough, the entire week leading up to Christmas was harder then the actual day itself. Sometimes the anticipation is worse then the event itself, huh?
I got some serious reading in from the Beck Diet and whoa - lemme just say, this is going to be some serious (yet very much needed) work! It's totally a psychological approcach to eating. LOVE IT!
Workout Update
eh - well, I didn't work out as many days as I'd like but it wasn't a total waste. Three days last week for gym activity. It all counts, right?!
I started this week off good by waking up bright and early yesterday morning and getting in a good 45 minutes of cardio + some ab stuff. This morning, I woke up and did a yoga DVD I rented from the library. Tonight, I have a training session with my trainer.
Peanut Butter
Alright - if you noticed, I had peanut butter on Christmas morning. And YES CUZ, Kirsten, I'm talking the REAL stuff! I'll tell you about it tomorrow okay?

This week is another short-ish kind of week.

Can't wait to hear about the Beck book! How did you like the yoga DVD? What DVD was it? ANy interest in doing my challenge?
Love Iggy's stash!
Looking forward to the Beck book, too. I've been delving into the psychological side of weight issues lately, so I think that book would be a good addition to my reading list!
Thanks for mentioning the Beck book! I was at the website and it definitely looks like some great reading. I hope my local Barnes and Noble has it as I'd love to start reading it soon!
I love Franks hot sauce!!!! It can make any dish yummy!!! Glad to hear that your Christmas went well.
glad your holiday went well jen!!
My daughter in law loves hot sauce and we got her some for Christmas!
I ate way tooooo much food during the holidays. I have got to get focused.
Blessings, andrea
Iggy is too cute in his new sweater!
Spoiling the pup is one of the best parts of Christmas!
Looks like you got some great gifts! YUM!, I love Fiber One bars lol.
Iggy is the cutest little doggie ever! :)
I look forward to hearing about the Beck book. I have heard about it from others but haven't picked up a copy for myself!
Have a great "short" week!

I love crockpot cooking. I also love hot sauce!! Yummm, helps speeds up your metabolism. Also I see you had a landerjager (spelling??).
Iggy is da bomb :)
I've been reading the book and i must say i've noticed changes already!!
Iggy looks adorable in that sweater - does he really keep it on? None of my dogs would wear their sweaters for very long, no matter how cute I kept telling them they looked!
Glad Christmas day wasn't that bad for you - and yay to Norah Jones - love her!!!
I've noticed the Jif Natural PB in some of your pics (Thanksgiving day run PB and banana) so YES I see it...good for you for moderaton and eating a healthier version...Wanna know something...right before your race, i started buying the Jif natural PB...GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE...love ya cuz, K
The Glenn Beck diet book? I'm not so sure about that...
Sounds like you had a great Christmas. I couldn't be happier for you.
You christmas sounds great. I give my mom peanut butter everyday. Not the real stuff. The cheap stuff. But she has to have protein so she won't get pressure sores. So I love peanut butter. With no teeth steak is out of the question.:)
LOVE the ginormo bottle of Frank's. Awesome! And I also love all your fun foodie related gifts!
The puppy is so cute!
Also, my dad loves franks hot sauce. He puts it on everything.
Glad to hear you survived your holiday Jen.
I gained 2.2 pounds in two weeks - not too bad! :D
Happy Monday!
Glad you made it through Christmas. We had a nice Holiday here. I will admit that I ate more than I should have. I did run both Saturday and Sunday. Back on track now that the festivities are over.
You're gonna LOVE your new crockpot, Jen! Can't wait to hear about your crockpot experiments. :)
Iggy is sooooooooo flippin' cute!!! My dogs freak out when I put a T-shirt on them. They'd much rather have blankets on them to keep warm.
I just wanted to say that you are doing great. You are doing the best you can. Don't judge yourself by what you eat. Judge yourself by how you feel! Your body can take some treats. Be kind to yourself always always always in what you tell yourself. If you find that your eating is changing good or bad ... look at WHY? I recently had big wake up around eating. TTYL. Miss ya over the wall too!
Loves me some Frank's and wanted to find out about the book.
Happy New Year!

Iggy is totally adorable! I just found this blog and i LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I am just starting my weight loss journey after being pregnant for about 2 years (one straight after the other). I have currently lost 9kilos. I love my gym and i think that exercising and eating right is the ONLY way to do it!
Have a great week :)
I love that you got hot sauce for Christmas. Awesome. :)
And Iggy looks so cute in his sweater! My husband REFUSES to let me buy one for our dog, but she would look so cute. She'd probably hate it, though.
Franks is the best hot sauce around!
Merry Christmas! We made it through our holiday, too. The only time I really got weepy was at church service. I was sitting by my dad and he said later that he was fine until we sang Silent Night by candlelight. That one got me, too. My mom always loved having all of us in church with her.
The couple of weeks before, I was PMSing and REALLY cried a lot, but by the time Christmas came, I was OK. I was thinking of you often, too. Sending hugs.

lately Ive been all about the yoga and surprised even myself with my ability to do my, errrm, talent for our virtual show :)

My dog has that exact same sweater. Too bad you live so far away, we could have a play date! I haven't gotten my Beck book but I think I'll go tonight and get it!!
