4. Eat Cheese whenever you feel like it
5. Drink a ridiculous amount of wine
6. Do not drink water - ok maybe only 20 oz a day
7. Definitely order peppermint lattes and gingerbread sugar drinks from Starbucks and binge on chocolate
8.  Work really hard every day so you have an excuse not to work out
9.  Feel Sorry for yourself
10. Eat Cookies for breakfast

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS YESTERDAY!  - NOW THE REAL TEN THINGS THURSDAY - HOW I TURN THIS BS AROUND.

1. Work out daily - even just doing one thing better than the day before (I have a stupid cold - not sure how hard I can run/bike)
2. Drink water - aim for 100oz
3. Protein protein protein protein 
4. veggie veggie veggie
5. Maybe stay off the wine..
6. One moment at a time...
7. Plan for success - why do I have cookie dough in the fridge...doh!
8. Remembering that each time I make the right choice it becomes easier and I become stronger
9. How awesome it feels to have tight pants become more comfortable and even loose (even after putting them in the dryer)
10. Last week was an anomaly ....that's not even close to how I do business          
10a.  Its not about wallowing in failure - its about celebrating the ability to pick yourself up off the floor and get back to business. 
10b.  Booyah!
