Uh oh! Potluck!

My goodness, the weeks just FLY by at my new jobs. Which is nice… the only downside? The weekENDS seem to fly as well. Not such a fan of that.

Today in Minneapolis, it is FREEZING! Let’s see, right now, the weather says, -5 (feels like -20) NEGATIVE TWENTY! Icccckkkk! The HIGH today is only forcasted at 6 degrees. Seriously, isn’t that disgusting!? I ask myself every year, “Why the heck do I live here!?” – I just love my family and couldn’t stand to move away from them, that’s why! So, it’s for THEM that I endure this painful cold. See family, I REALLY love you.

We got our first “snow storm” this week. Not a ton of snow yet in Minneapolis, but probably more than some people like. However, living in Minnesota, there really is no such think as “too much snow” – we’ve seen it all. And yes, it sucks.

So, today at work, we have our Holiday Potluck. I’m a little nervous for it, as I will be face to face with TONS of tempting foods. I’m going to try my darndest to be good. Of course, my team was in charge of desserts – oh the irony! Do me a favor, send me “healthy thoughts” around lunch time… ok? I need all the extra help avoiding temptation that I can get – and this time of the year is the WORST! All I have to do is make today a good day, make today a good day, make today a good day… can you tell, I keep telling myself that? Here’s to hoping I actually LISTEN!

Yesterday, I did really well. I counted my calories all day and was right where I should be. Go me! YES, I am excited about 1 day. Because 1 day and 1 day and 1 day and so on, those add up to the BIG (or small, I suppose) picture!

How do you guys avoid temptation? Especially during this time of year? Advice appreciated!

Have a wonderful day!
