After several decades of doing Christmas dinner, you'd think we'd be better able to gauge how much everybody eats and plan accordingly. It's one thing to have enough left over food for one lunch and one dinner... it's another thing to have left over food to last a week!
I'm sick of ham and I'll be eating it for lunch and dinner for two more days! At least!
Anyway, it's now the 28th of December, 3 more days to the new year.
Have you started planning your New Year's Resolutions yet?
Most women seem to make New Year's Resolutions... most guys, not so much.
The problem with New Year's Resolutions is that they are set, they are broken once, and then they are abandoned.
New Years' Resolutions are like everything else - they are a process. You have to work up to them gradually.
Don't make it a resolution to give up chocolate completely - cold turkey. If you feel that that is a worthwhile goal (and it is if you can't control your chocolate craving, and a small snack turns into ten or eleven small snacks!) don't expect that you can just wake up on Jan 1 and never take another bite of chocolate again. Not if you're used to having several candy bars, or even one candy bar, a day.
As with all things, gradualness is the key.
Make your goals to be time sensitive:
By the end of this month I will have cut back to one Pepsi a day.
By the end of this month I will have cut back to half a bowl of ice cream a night.
By the end of this month I will have started walking at least thirty minutes a day.
Give yourself time to get acclimated to your new goals. Don't set yourself up to fail by not giving yourself time to get truly started and used to your new resolutions.
