Ok… So after a month of holiday eating (holiday eating starts the day of thanksgiving) , I can honestly say it could have been worse. I continued exercising 5-6 times a week,  however the diet could have been much better. It tends to be hard to stick to anything when everyday at work there are sweets galore, which are only there to sabotage all the hard work you have put in to living a healthy lifestyle. You have co-workers and clients drowning you with  candies, cakes and anything that is not part of your normal eating habits. What makes it even worse is this past week I have had a fever, meaning I haven’t gone to the gym the past five days, OUCH!  The suckiest thing was when I went to weigh myself this morning, not a pretty number But sometimes you need the rest. I’m hoping I will be 100% by Sunday so I can get back into the swing of things for the new year.

I have this love hate relationship with Miami. But today I LOVED it! I woke up ready to go to the gym and when I stepped outside I was welcomed by the the beautiful sun and a cool breeze that Miami had to offer today……ahhhhhh. I also was welcomed by my Crate and Barrel spoons that I have been searching for for months online, only to realize they were the wrong ones Now I have to find a store close to me so I can return them because I really dont feel like packing them up and sending them back…ugh!

I came back from the gym feeling amazing. there is nothing like waking up on a Saturday morning and starting your day off with a pumping work out. In my opinion instead of resting on the weekends from the gym people should go. People tend to go out more, see family and hang with friends on the weekend and it usually revolves around food. So the best way to not feel guilty for having that drink or eatng that burger is to go the gym. I try to take my rest days during the week, preferably Monday.

Breakfast was simple I mixed a 1/2c of egg whites with onions, feta and stuffed it into a pita and added a couple slices of tomato…yummy! It was so simple and it really filled me up for awhile

The rest of my Saturday was spent with my husband.. We stopped by the mall and had dinner at an Itallian restataunt. i was craving pasta so I had a penne pasta with sun dried tomato’s pinenuts and spinach. I would have taken pics but I left my phone and camera at home
