We are about to embark on a new year and guess what
that means? Yep, new goals and maybe a new you?! I don’t believe in resolutions because guess what, they lead to self loathing because I don’t always keep them. I do think it is important to work towards reasonable goals though. I think winter and the holidays make things worse because all I want to do is snuggle up and eat cookies. Ha! No for real, it’s a problem.

I know this school year has been a doozy on my health, mentally and physically. I’ve gained back all I lost this summer which makes me super sad. Most days I just don’t want to be seen. My stress level has been higher than high and I feel like I need to just put it in its place.
So, hubs and I already had a serious talk before Christmas. Neither of us are feeling our best and it’s definitely easier to live healthy when you do it as a team. He wanted us to gut the pantry before Christmas but I said in my sweetest voice, ummm how about right after Christmas?. Yes, I have a problem. My name is Crystal and I am an emotional eater. When the going gets tough, I grab a coookie.
The good news (pep talk for myself) is that I belong to a gym, I actual enjoy working out (once I force myself to go) and I KNOW how to eat healthy which is so much of the battle. So, who’s with me? I’ve totally shared my fluffy heart here and know I’m not the only one who struggles.
Oh, and I have good news! A few of my blogging buds and I know how important it is to get and stay healthy. We are all working on personal goals and want you to join us. We decided to give away a FitBit to help ya out. I don’t have one yet, but I am hoping to grab one before the new year…which is kinda soon, ehem.

My husband and I had the same talk. I stay at school so late I do not cook dinner so we cheese and cracker it. And it is too dark to to walk by the time I get home. Talking about joining the local Y. All the best in 2015 to you and your family.
I know exactly how you feel!!! After Vegas and the Bahamas, the weight just piled back on!! I started excercising after Thanksgiving, and I figure I'll focus on the food after New Years!!

I am right there with ya. When I am stressed I eat, when I am super happy I eat to celebrate, when I am upset I eat…lol obviously I have a problem. I too have put back on weight that I had previously lost. I am starting healthy eating and exercising Monday…no excuses, especially since I already have a fitbit. Good luck with your journey! Thanks for sharing and keeping it real.
