Sweets Galore Coming Soon!

Finally!! The spatula and mixer made it's re-appearance this month...and I didn't go easy on them either!

My next post will be a doozie as it will include several delish SWEETS :)

The holiday season is arriving and I think I'm going to try to update my blog with a 25 days of Sweets.

First and Foremost, The Official Scott Rules:

1. I'm not actually going to make all the sweets because I do not need myself or my husband to despise me for us gaining too much weight over the holidays (the aftermath effect, woof.)

2. I may include multiple treats on some days

3. They may or may not have anything to do with actual christmas (example: don't hate me for making a tropicalish fruity dessert and it might be fun to use show something not actually food related but absolutely awesome anyways)

Ok, the truth is out!! :)

Another truth, 2011 is close to an end and 2012 right around the corner.

Ignite Fitness powered by CrossFit owner, Shane, recently said a person typically gains an average of 10lbs each holiday season. Ouch. Well.... I'm in one of my best friend's wedding in January and the fact is I will have to fit in my dress but enjoy my cake too!

I haven't been able to start up on the Paleo diet BUT a few things happened over Thanksgiving that made me seriously think about this diet.

First, my sweet friend, Margot, told me about another friend who does this diet and she looks AMAZINGLY amazing!

Second, processed foods' ingredients are really starting to gross me out.

Third, I got a bad case of food poisoning over the holiday from NOT eating so paleo and this definitely opened my eyes.

Here's a picture of me in hospital. I look semi-decent but the only reason why is because after the 50th plus time I've thrown up, I finally have fluids pumping in me via IV and happy meds = )

So I think I'm going to try my own 20-30ish day Paleo Challenge (after christmas.... I'm not missing out on ALL the fun!) This may end up being more of trying to do it during the week and then eat cupcake(s) on weekends...

I think Todd and I are actually going to do this together so stay tuned!!

It will be interesting... promise.

Next up- Sweets Galore!
