Mission: Balance the Unhealthy Choices Yesterday

Yesterday I accomplished the mission of cooking for seven.  All turned out fine (macaroni and cheese was not as cheesy as it should have been!) and we have the sweet smells of holiday desserts in the house.  The trouble is – I snacked way too much while baking!

So here’s the plan – I know tonight we’re having an awesome lasagna at my Mom’s house.  That means today I will drink tons of water and use Shaklee Cinch for basic nutrition.  No Snacking!  By tonight I will feel ready to eat the delicious meal and won’t have to feel guilty or stuffed when the garlic bread is passed around.

Now thinking about it…if I ate too many sweets yesterday, chances are the kids did too.  Now I know I told them “no” more than I told myself “no”, but I also remember saying “yes” quite a bit yesterday too!  So here’s the plan for J & J (remember, they’re 6 & 7 years old now):

Fresh Fruit and a Protein Based Smoothie for Breakfast

Fresh Veggies & Fruit sitting out to Snack on All Day

Cheese, Meat, Cracker Trays for lunch

The rule will be made very clear – No sugar or sweets until Grammie’s house tonight!

This plan should leave us all happy, full & NOT give us the sugar crankies.

So what’s your plan to keep the kids & family in check today and tomorrow as the celebrations continue?

P.S. That Shaklee Cinch shake I just mentioned above helped me lose 20 pounds since August without any drastic changes.  Definitely worth checking out Cinch to meet your goals in the new year!
