Well gang, it’s post Christmas and I hope that the holiday spirit will continue to live in you and shine all year long, but it’s the holiday celebrating that needs to be addressed for many of us. I sit here presently feeling like Santa’s proverbial bag of coal. I ate whatever I wanted on Christmas and I ate often. I attacked the chocolate and cookies like an inmate on death row. The day after Christmas was no better as it was a Saturday to relax and enjoy with the kids and there was left over “stuff” sitting everywhere.

I had special coffee (acidic), and lots of sugary nuts and candies (acidic) and of course I tried to finish off the remaining bread and cheese that make such rare appearances in our house and followed that with some wine (acidic). Guess how I feel right now. Just a bit acidic, and of course bloated and a tad gassy and while we’re making lists lets add fuzzy headed and sluggish. 

January 1^st is coming quick and I need a plan to get on track and that plan starts today. If you are feeling anything like I do right now then today is the perfect day to make changes. Take advantage of the crappy feelings, sensations and gurglings you have inflicted upon yourself to motivate you to a better place. 

Now, if you managed to exert some self-control over the past couple of days and you don’t feel bad then that’s great, pat yourself on the back and keep rolling on. But you still have room for improvement because I’m coming for you and if you don’t stay one step ahead of me I’ll be running past you like you were standing still. 

For those of you that planned your work and worked your plan to avoid overeating, I want to congratulate you on your foresight and dedication. You obviously understand that feeling good and lean is more pleasurable than any food could ever taste. You are in control of your life and your body and you will have more impact on the world than the world will ever have on you. Go baby go.

This is a critical point. This is where you either put your foot down and say “no more,” I choose not to live and feel like this. Enough is enough. Or you tell yourself, “it’s futile,” I’m just too far gone and the road ahead is too hard to fight.
