I do not have cookies or sweets in my house ever because I want to eat them! I think this helps me stay focused, on track and therefore I do well on my journey. However, today I baked oatmeal molasses cookies, chewy granola bars, and pecan praline cookies. These are all for holiday celebrations on Christmas day however I've sampled some and licked the spoon. It tastes good but really makes my body feel bad. I think this is why I keep it out of my house. As long as it's not around then I eat healthy and I feel great.

I did not workout today. I was really busy trying to get all the baking done. However, the Steelers play football tonight and during commercials I am going to to get some fitness minutes in even if it's just some core and upper body stuff. I feel lazy today.

I've been thinking a bit today about what my plans are for 2011. I have a lot of plans but I want to make the goals simple as possible so that they are attainable. One thing is for sure, I will make goal weight. Some very good advice I received from my Spark Sister - if I think about failure it will come but if I think about reaching my goal and staying positive it will come. So - 2011 will be my year to reach goal weight and some other things - just have to figure out those other things and I have one week to do it!

I'll spark you tomorrow!
