Wake up will power

Tonight I celebrated my oldest son Sam's birthday with my husband's side of the family.  Sam will be fourteen on Friday but my husband's aunt is visiting from Florida so we had a nice dinner, caught up, and she was able to share in part one of celebrating Sam.  Dinner was great.  It was lasagna but it was rolled so the portions were a lot smaller (just one noodle).  No meat, light sauce, very little cheese.  It was very yummy.  Of course we had cake, it was a birthday celebration.  I said I was not going to have cake.  I didn't want cake.  After everyone ate dinner, a huge strawberry cheesecake was placed on the table.  OH DEAR LORD!!!!  That's my most favorite dessert ever!  Sooo I had a very small piece of cake, and little frosting :)  It was ok.  I didn't want a bigger piece or a second piece.  Yahhoooo Go me!

But this got me thinking.....Holidays are right around the corner!  November and December are event filled months for me.  November - Sam's bday, my anniversary, Thanksgiving.  December - my birthday, two more bday parties, Christmas and New Years.  Oh, and holiday parties.  A little bit of anxiety is creeping in.

So much food around.  So many sweets around.  What does this mean?  My will power skills must be awakened.  I must and will be ready and prepped.  No skipping on workouts.  Plan accordingly; carry healthy snacks, always have water, eat light day before/day of/day after event.  Hit the veggie tray not the chips and dip tray! 

I want to be fit and curvy.  I can be fit and curvy.  I WILL BE FIT AND CURVY!
