Posting finally!

It has been far too long since I have posted. So here I am, yet once again to deliver a bit of news that really means nothing to anyone, but coincidentally I am going to type it out anyway. Today's topic: Surviving the holidays with a large family who wants to do nothing less than shove sugar coated and deep fried heaven down your throat.

I'm not going to sugar coat it (HA! *clears throat*), but it's not an easy task. Your best friend during this time of year? Sweet potatoes! No, seriously, even though they are technically not on the initial phase diet, they are on a different version (there are different versions according to your health goals, my goal and everything on this blog pertains to healthy weight loss). This past week for Thanksgiving I had mashed sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, and sweet potato chips. They are delicious, always around during this time of year, an are very filling and healthy. Grab some Turkey and green beans and you have a great Thanksgiving dinner that you won't be regretting an hour later (or the next week when you step on the scale).
