I know.... Those 2 words don't sound like they should be together but I make it work today!!! My hubby and I were doing the majority of our Christmas baking today, and yes I DID sample the goods. BUT.... I only sampled after I had eaten a meal so sampling was at a minimum. Also, I had a break that was about 25 min long. So instead of going and plopping myself on the couch or at the table, I leashed up the dog and took her for a 20min bike ride ( it was a beautiful crisp day here in Vancouver, Canada!!!) then came back and got tobaking again. Yay me!!! I never would've done that before!!!!

That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats!

Woah that's wonderful! YAY for physical activity!!!

I love holiday baking!! I am pre sleeve but i am so proud of myself because for every dozen i bake 9 cookies got into other peoples goody bags . Now my husband is a little aggervated about this process so i have been giving him my cookies, (no way will my daughter give up hers she is too happy there are sweets in the house lol) but i told him it was either that or i had to quit baking which i didnt really want to do. So we compromised and i made his parents a bigger goody bag so he could nibble on their cookies when we visited. Poor man he must really love me cause hes not a bit chunky and has been giving up "all the good stuff" as he calls it. haha noone tell him i switched a ton of ingredients to healthier ones or he will never forgive me!
