So, today was the official (for me) start of the holiday goodies rush. After only being in the office for 10 minutes, I walked past a huge plate of assorted home baked cookies. Right next to the water cooler. Who does that?

But I do feel more comfortable being on a restricted food intake at work because it easily fits into the routine. Can't popover to the fridge during commerical breaks to grab seconds, can't skip out of a meeting to grab some fast food.

I say this now, but tomorrow is our holiday potluck. Yikes!

Also, I had my second exercise class today. This was my first introduction to pilates. Owie. Owie ow ow ow ow. ::sigh:: Ow. It was fun and very much out of my comfort zone. I only fell off the ball once, and I wasn't the first to do so. Aside from the ball being too small, it was a very successful workout. I learned some great techniques that I can incorporate into my normal routine.

However, I did treat myself to one choc. chip cookie tonight. It's ok, I'm not perfect :) But I'm still trying ;)

So, til next time, keep reaching for your dreams.
