I decided to be brave and step on the scale today during my lunch hour. After multiple holiday feasts and treats, I was prepared for the worst. I mean what’s a little holiday weight in the long scheme of things? 
I held my breath and took the step on to the scale. I watched the pointer thingy circle up and land on its secured spot. I let the air out and had to blink for a second. I then eagerly hopped off the scale, let it zero out and then stepped right back on. That number could not be right… could it? You can imagine my surprise after I was bracing for the worse when the number it landed on was actually 2 pounds less then when I weighed myself on the scale previously.
I lost 2 pounds over Christmas? Granted, my weight tends to vary by a couple of pounds every time I hop on the scale, but I was expecting it to vary two pounds the other way. Maybe all those sweets weren’t as bad on the hips as I thought they would be? or maybe I have really mastered this whole healthy balance of living?
I mean sure I indulged and had my treats, BUT I also managed to keep up with my running, hiking, biking and walks with Abbie during the whole Christmas holiday. In fact I was on my feet more this past week, then any other previous week over the last couple of months.
This does not mean I plan to go crazy with my eating from now on, I appreciate my body way to much to test this theory further. It just lets me know that when the occasions do arise for a little splurging, that its ok. A healthy balance of the good and bad is really what life is all about! 
Luckily I was very excited about today’s lunch as it has me back on the healthy side of life.
I made a wonderful pressed wrap, which contains Olive Tapenade, Ham, Spinach, Cucumber, Tomato, Mushroom & Green Onion.
I’m really digging the Olive Tapenade. First it made a great addition to my egg sandwich last week and now it has brought my wrap to a whole other level. Talk about a Super Yummy Wrap!
On the side I had a very refreshing Pear.
Before lunch I had a snack of Mrs. May’s Naturals: Strawberry Cashew Crunch.
I snagged this perfectly portioned box from a Christmas gift basket.
It was a really yummy nut cluster that was crunchy, sweet and salty all at once.
As I type I am sucking on the last of my Candy Canes from my tree. My little cousins had ate the rest of them during my portion of the Christmas caravan last weekend.
My watch is kind of bulk and hurts my wrist when I type so I always take it off when I’m at my desk. It’s the cutest watch, but a little impractical for typing.
As anyone else braved the scale yet from the holidays? I still have some partying over New Years and a wedding to attend this week, so I probably should have waited until after that to weigh myself. Oh well, you only live once!
