Hello, all! It's been awhile since I posted, but 'tis the nature of the holidays.
Trust, Patrick and I ate waaaaaay too many goodies over the past week. We did manage to do a bootcamp on Christmas Eve, but it wasn't NEARLY enough to curb the amount of calories we consumed that night. My family's tradition is to make a bunch of hors d'oeuvres. This year truly did not disappoint. Patrick and I made our buffalo chicken wraps and some bacon-wrapped stuffed mushrooms. My sister Jody made crab cakes, Elise made a chicken salad and jalepeno popper dip, Peter made two kinds of fondue, Kalee made little portabello mushroom pizzas. The drink of the night was my special creation: the Poinsettia...a delightful mix of champagne and vodka with a splash of cranberry juice and a cherry to garnish. Christmas day included a trip to Green Bay where we pretty much grazed throughout the day. Sloppy Joe's, mashed potatoes, coffee cake, christmas cookies... And everything was consumed all. day. long.
And the rest of the week was pretty much the same. I managed a small, 20 minute workout on Saturday.
The Holidays are over, time to look forward to the New Year and the wedding is 9 months and 4 days away!
As Patrick and I prepare for tomorrow, D-Day (Diet Doomsday), we did some much-needed healthy grocery shopping. We are filled up on fresh fruits and vegetables (including a coconut!), got some healthy dairy products (think cottage cheese, milk, and yogurt), and the ingredients for 2 Weight Watcher meals: Skillet Beef and Beer Stew and Hawaiian Curried Chicken with Pineapple Salsa.
Today, we're going all out. We got Alterra breakfast...
I had left-over chicken parmesan for lunch at work and now Ian's pizza tonight as we watch the re-run of the ball dropping in Times Square.
Tomorrow is our weigh-in. We're totally ready to be humbled and completely
disgusted with ourselves. Happy New Year!
