I Won By Losing!

What a great feeling!

January 2012

I won second prize for the December 2011 Get Skinny Contest! The winners were announced last night, and I won second prize. Can you tell I'm excited?!?!?

I lost just over 7 lb in December even though I was away from my own home and routine for nearly half the month. I decided that I would stick to my program and absolutely ENJOY every moment of the holidays this year. In fact, I think it’s the first December I have felt good for the whole month!

First, I visited my family members' home for four days. We had great meals and lots of goodies (gluten free for me, of course!), and I ate everything I wanted!

Night in Vegas

Next, I travelled with some family members to Vegas. We walked a lot on the Strip, went to a show, and ate at some fabulous restaurants. We had the Magic Spoon Buffet at the Cosmopolitan – what a feast that was! I particularly enjoyed the polenta with mushrooms and truffle oil. And I ended my meal with a bowl of whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Yum! We had a breakfast buffet at the Venetian, and a simple, rich steak dinner at Envy.

When I left Vegas, I visited my best friends, Ashley, and her husband in Seattle. It is Ashley and Duffy who introduced me to Dr. Glidden and Dr. Wallach. They, too, have found that eating gluten free has improved their health. Ashley is a fabulous and creative cook who loves to share her talents with those she loves. I ate like royalty at her table!

I chose to enjoy everything that fit within my eating program, and I continued to support my body with nutrition.

And with all the travel, the buffets and feasting, I still gained health and lost fat! This is a testament to the nutritional support I am following and the simple adjustments I have made to my food choices. I am convinced that anyone can experience fabulous health.

It's an easy choice!
