As this month has been flying by, I have to mentally prepare myself for the upcoming holidays on a couple of different levels...
1. Emotionally - being a single Mama is hard when funds are limited and want to be able to give your child(ren) nice things or things that they would enjoy on Christmas, but the money is JUST NOT THERE.
2. Physically and Mentally - desiring to stay on your meal plan, as you have GOALS TO CRUSH, but the food prepared is just so delicious that it's hard to NOT give in to temptation. I have to keep my goals in the forefront and realize that IF I go off plan, that prolongs my end goal - to be healthy and lose this fat, once and for all. I can enjoy the holidays, without going "off plan" and bringing my meals with me. I am there to enjoy the company - the people in my life - not be worried about what food is being served or missing out on the holiday.
3. Spiritually - I do NOT want to further damage the body that God has created - I've done enough of that already and for so long - I don't want to do it anymore. This is HIS temple and I need to love and respect it.
It amazes me how everything is interconnected - mind, body, soul/spirit - that if ONE of these is off kilter, it throws everything else off.
What do you plan to do for the holidays? How are you preparing to still achieve your goals?
