i had a really great holiday and i hope everyone else did too! even though it was fun, i’m happy its over. i am a creature of habit and i love routine, so its good to be back to normal. i made it through my first two dinners without pigging out but damn three was just too much for me to say ‘no’ to. christmas dinner at my parents house was delicious. maybe because it was my mommas cooking, i had no will power left and i just eat everything and anything possible! i felt horrible!!! my tummy was killing me and i felt so yucky…sluggish! i still felt kinda crappy today, but i made it to the gym and had a great workout. i’m really glad i gave into temptations the way i did because it really refreshed my memory as to why i dont eat like that anymore. it may taste good but i just dont like the way it makes me feel. i’m back to eating clean and i feel 100x better plus i hit the gym with a vengence today!

now allow me to get serious for a sec…i never really gave much thought about being a role model…but apparently i am. on christmas i hung with my neice all day. she is six years old and wants to be just like me. my bro is worried because she wants to be a ‘rock star like aunt nic’ she never left my side all day, whatever i did she did. i dont have kids (nor do i want any) but i do know that they pick up on things so you have to watch what you say. ya know, keep things ‘G’ rated. well, after all my eating i was showing my mom my ‘fat’ belly. i was bloated and she was teasing me. my neice was sitting next to me and lifted her shirt to show me her ‘fat’ belly. i was like ‘no, no, no’ and told her how beautiful she is. this is not the first time she has mentioned it. its so sad that a six year old even knows what fat its. my bros used to tease me about being chubby when i was little and i have always had body image issues. so anytime she says anything negative about herself i try to squash it right away. i’m writing this lil’ story because i hope people will realize that kids are not as oblivious as you would think. things that are said in there presence (even when not directed at them) do make an impression.

well now thats enough of that! thankfully the holidays are over and i can focus on having an amazing 2008!
