Sugar Coma is Wearing Off

The great thing, and the worst thing, about the holidays is all the food. We go big in my family and do an insane amount of Christmas baking. So much so that when my birthday rolls around on Dec. 28^th I don’t even want a fun fancy cake. I’m perfectly happy with an angel food cake with some cool whip and strawberries. Not too sweet and the perfect way to end any meal, in my opinion.

To finish off the holiday spirit of things for the year, we’re having a small corporate potluck tomorrow at work. I was a genius and decided to do a dessert tray like I’ve done for the past 4 years I’ve been here. So it’s expected of me to actually bring good desserts and not skimp on the tray. Now that almost all the holiday treats are gone I’m going to have to bake up a few again just for this, which means we’ll be bringing the sugar rush back for the month of January. Not helping my working out and eating better goal already and I’m only 4 days into the New Year! Oh no!

On a better note to the resolutions of the year, I did start Insanity. If you haven’t heard of Insanity I’m sure you’ve heard of P90X – it’s a program along the same line, built by the same people, just minus any equipment. My butt is being constantly kicked. Not only am I sore during the workout, but the 3 flights of stairs up and down from my apartment to my car are killing me, along with the big flight of stairs I have to walk up to get to my office. I’m fairly certain my legs are going to give out one day as I’m walking down the stairs at work and I’m going to end up in a tangled pretzel and won’t be able to move for weeks. Other than the insane side effects of constant muscular agony, I enjoy the workout. I actually feel as though I’m going to get in shape, granted I stick with it for the full 90 days. Woo Hoo! I’m only on day 3. I’ll keep you posted, unless I end up in a pretzel at the bottom of the stairs somewhere.
