My Goals
1.) I have already determined that I am going to minimize my usual Christmas cookie baking frenzy. I am going to make some biscotti to give as gifts and make only a couple of single recipes for my family at home. (When I am being honest - my daughter and I are the ones who eat most of the cookies and the ones who need them the least! No gingerbread this year...)
2.) I am going to forgo treats at events I attend. So far that will be a work party and my family gatherings and they understand and support my efforts. My allowed treat will be the cocktails I will drink with my family. Usually champagne!
3.) I will increase my gym attendance and start taking some classes.

My commitment is to gain 2 lbs. this week, lose it over the next couple of weeks and then ditto for Christmas. I don't mind going up and down over the next few weeks, but I'd like to be the same at the end.
It's the drinking that will do me in. I've been celebrating too much lately.
Hi Susan - glad to see you joining this (totally do-able) challenge!
I like your holiday baking plans (the reduced baking plan)
Do you have a good biscotti recipe to share? I only bake stuff I can resist & I can resist biscotti but am always looking for new twists on it
My preferred cocktail is champagne too. I used to often order tomato juice instead of champagne at events but my former diet doctor pointed out that the calories are about the same so she said to have whichever one I preferred - I've never felt guilty about champagne since!
Oh... gingerbread:(
Simple and sweet. I’m thinking of starting another blog or five pretty soon, and I’ll definitely consider this theme. Keep ‘em coming!.
