Happy New Years :)

It just seems like i posted merry christmas and now its new years....and new years is over :)

I had a great holiday season...well besides being sick from the saturday before christmas until about new years eve....but hey what can you do? I dealt with it and got through it :)

My eating has been atrocious! Im not even sure that is spelled right, but it was horrible! I have eaten everything in sight....actually i have been eating crap since after my show....im not going to dwell on it....i did what i wanted to do....i enjoyed myself and i didn't worry about what i was eating...but believe me, it shows.... and i dont really like seeing myself in the mirror right now...so i emailed the big guy for a new diet...and i am ready to get back to it....i need that focus again...i need to have a goal....it is a little sad that i need a goal to eat right, but if that is what gets me through, then so be it!

Im not saying that i am fat by any means, but when you know what you looked like and then see yourself 10 pounds heavier...you have to do something about it...before it gets worse.....and the best part of it is, i have a little more knowledge now....i know what i need to do to get rid of the fluff :)

So, anyway..back to the holidays....yeah, i was sick, but i still enjoyed the time with the family :) Christmas eve we have angelica, so we have her open her presents under the tree on christmas eve instead of christmas morning....then we went to my parents house for dinner....it is the traditional italian 7 fishes dinner....which isn't healthy at all!!! A lot of the fish is fried...it was good :) Christmas morning I went to my sister's to watch the baby open presents for his first christmas...he is too freaking cute! I just want to eat him up! Then later in the day i went back over my parents for christmas dinner.....which again...is way to much food....shall i run it down?? First course...antipasto...then ravioli and meatballs, etc....then she had turkey, ham, a steak of some sort...then the sides...sweet potatos, mashed potatos, corn, string beans, biscuits, pineapple stuffing, cranberry sauce,...i think that was it....then dessert....cookies, candy, cheesecake, nuts, coffee....i can go on....but now you see why me and my family have weight issues...its like that all the time......

New years eve we went to friends of ours for dinner..it was just the four of us...it was nice....we ordered from PF Changs and had mojitos and wine.....and i made dirt cake....we played scattergories...it was nice.....then new years day...we went to my sisters and she has an open house....just hung out....ate (again) and now you know why im a cow :)

I guess that is about it.....im ready to get back to business and eat clean and workout hard! The Arnold is 2 months away :) I cant wait!! here are some pics :)

Happy New Year!!! Love your attitude girl! YOU GO! Focusing and dwelling on bad food choices or the past is a complete waste of energy. Focus on today and make it happen! :)
