I didn't mean to take off until January 5th!!!

I have been soooooo bad.  Christmas cookies are the devil.  Fudge is the devil's best friend.  I am so looking forward to January 5th when Oprah and I start our new best life!!  On January 5th I start a Yoga class and a Mindful Meditation class.  I know, I mean I know this will get me back on track.  "The body’s natural relaxation response is a powerful antidote to stress." It's not that I was stressed and so I ate 10,000 cookies but NOW I am stressed because I did eat them!!!  "Relaxation techniques such as mindful meditation and yoga can help you activate this relaxation response. When practiced regularly, these activities lead to a reduction in your everyday stress levels and a boost in your feelings of joy and serenity. What’s more, they also serve a protective quality by teaching you how to stay calm and collected in the face of life’s curve balls."

Life did not deliver me curve balls it delivered rum balls and fudge squares and those damn peanut butter cookies with snickers in the middle.  I mean come on what the f*&*@#&!!!!!!!
