I'm fat...again.

I could really do without celebrating Thanksgiving or Christmas, but I LOVE my family and I LOVE getting together with them for ANY reason. Well, like most families, when we get together we do so across a food filled table. This is especially true during the holidays. 

I have found that I have MAJOR problems eating well during the holidays. I have been miserably full since Thursday. For whatever reason I having problems realizing that I simply don't need as much food anymore. My stomach capacity is less than it once was.

In my usual form I am not going to complain without having a plan. I have started reading "Heal Thyself" by Queen Afua. What I have already gleaned from this is that I will cleanse/fast every month for my holy day. What is my holy day? The date I was born on. Will also cleanse with the seasons, but for this season it will start after Kwanzaa because I am trying to realistic. I might start after Christmas...I'm not sure. My husband is also blessing me with a Vitamix blender!!! YES!!! I AM GETTING A VITAMIX!!!!!! I am so excited!!! I am going to start with replacing one meal a day with a green smoothie, but my goal will be 2 times a day. For whatever reason I have an issue with driving to take an exercise class, but I know I need to do so to get myself back on track. I am going to go back to my African dance classes. I have also found a studio that I can take yoga for $5. So I may be able to get totally in shape for $66 a week. $50 box of food, $6 dance class, and 2 $5 yoga classes. 

The other thing I am going to change is that I'm going to start keep track of my improvements. Usually I am totally anti-scales and measurements. Well, clearly that hasn't worked. I am going to take pictures of myself monthly and document my measurements and weight weekly. Hopefully, this will help because I really need to do something different. I am miserable AGAIN!!! This has got to stop. This is a family problem and if I want to prevent it in my children then I have to figure this thing out. If you have any suggestions, please let me know what they are.
