Hello there, I hope everyone is doing really well and if your checking in from the states have a great holiday this Thursday! The holiday season is upon us and now that were are pretty much moved in with most of our stuff unpacked and I've recovered from a disastrous round of being really sick its now time to buckle down and get cooking! Of course its all starts with recipe planning, then a grocery list, followed by a dry run of a new recipe. (I think I may have finally cooked something everyone can enjoy, but it took three tries.) last night a gigantic shop at the grocery market, and today and tomorrow morning some serious time in the kitchen.Why am I going over this? Because the next few months will be the similar in planning, not just for the holidays, but so I can loose the weight I put on from my quit. I did shed a few pounds but not nearly enough to make a difference. An active life and a full schedule with others to feed can make anyone absently eat pick up meals, added to this is extra eating and a slightly slower metabolism due to quitting smoking and its easy to see how someone can pack on a few. I realize I need structure in my eating habits so right now I will be meal planning, cooking ahead of time and packing meals if I'm not eating at home. I can be a really healthy eater, I just need some awareness in my food intake right now.
Other than that I have had some urges which really annoy me, but not there everyday and they don't last long. Eventually I'm sure they'll pass completely, or I just won't care about it anymore.
In the meantime Happy Holiday!
