Tag: weight gain’

(First let me say, the girls of Naughty and Spice are taking some time off for the holidays, so we alternating weeks we blog. Though there’ll always be two of us here at any given week and generally a Friday blogger as well!)

Well, it’s getting to be that time of year. The holidays. Where hams, turkeys, mashed potatoes, sugar cookies, gingerbread lattes, eggnog, peppermint martinis are greeting you pretty much all season long. And so it seems, we gain a bunch of weight during this time of year. And we’re kicking it all off this Thursday (well the Yanks are) with Thanksgiving.

I’m here to say NOT ME! In fact, I vow to LOSE weight. Why? Well, because I did my weight gain during the last couple of months. I plan on hitting the gym hardcore and watching what I eat. Again. And yes, you might be thinking shouldn’t she wait until after the holidays? But um, no not really. See here’s the thing. I don’t like most holiday food. I just don’t.

I’m not a big drinker. I have to watch my sugar. And I really don’t like traditional Thanksgiving dinner food. Yup I said it. I don’t like mashed potatoes. At all. Stuffing is okay…. turkey I kind of like, but I prefer it on a sandwich. I could go on and on. So generally, the holidays have never really been a challenge for me. And if I stick to the gym, I really should come out ahead. Hypothetically. IF I stick to the gym being the keyword.

So how about you? How excited are you for the holidays? Are you going into it saying screw it all I’ll eat what I want and be good in January (I’ve been there & there’s no judging here on Naughty and Spice ) Are you a chronic dieter dreading the upcoming weeks? Or are you just thinking…fuck, is it really Thanksgiving on Thursday?
