Holiday Life

This is my very first set of holidays living this new lifestyle, and I have to admit it is coming easier than I thought which makes me nervous. First adventure was going to the movies (we saw Justice League) the smell of popcorn was amazing but did not turn me into a popcorn eating machine like normal. We bought a large popcorn and soda for my 3 kids and husband to share and I sat farthest from the popcorn train. I snuck in (shhhh) an ounce of Jerky to chew on if needed and I did i nibbled through the whole movie. You know what I made it through woohooo. Next was Thanksgiving now I do all the cooking so the tasting was hard I had to submit to finger tip tastes rather than spoonful tastings. I am not going to say this part was easy but far easier than expected. I had a few finger licking issues lol but got through. I had issues with the meat plate I automatically wanted to just toss some prosciutto in my mouth I caught myself woohooo. The dinner turned out amazing and I had my turkey and was strangely satisfied. I also drank my power aid zero from a wine glass what a girl has got to get fancy sometimes. Then today during the mad dash shopping I hit starbucks and was almost scared to order i mean I am typically the girl that gets the skinny caramel macchiato with extra pumps so what the hell was I going to get now with very limited sugar So i just told the barista and she whipped me up a dark roast coffee with 3-4 tablespoons of full cream (not milk) and a couple pumps of sugar free vanilla it was wonderful and so tasty and a little burst when it was desperately needed. Next step is all the holiday get togethers I am a work in progress and that is ok but I made it through this part. How did all of you do???
