We have decided to make a resolution to lose as much weight as we can before Jan. 1st 2009.  That is a long time to be nice, so we might need some healthier substitutions to help get us there…some naughty, but still nice treats.

So our new challenge is to share our Naughty AND Nice recipes!

I have a certain number of calories and fat grams…so sometimes I budget them for a treat. 

There are some that are my favorites…wondering if anyone else out there has treats that are naughty, but nice?

Brownie ice cream sundae:  A “No Pudge” brownie with a scoop of low fat frozen vanilla yogurt with a t of choc syrup and fat free redi whip topping…225 cals/1 gram of fat vs Chocolate Bliss from Baskin Robbins 880 cals/42 fat

Apple pie a la mode:  An apple microwaved with cinnamon, lemon and sugar on top of a graham cracker with a scoop of vanilla low fat yogurt….220 cals/1 gram of fat vs. Apple pie a la mode 1203 cal/53 fat at Shoney’s.

Ice Cream Sandwich:  Skinny cow…140 cals/1.5 fat vs Toll House Cookie sandwich 500 cal/24 fat

Frozen Strawberry Shortcake:  Angel food cake 1/2 slice with lowfat frozen strawberry yogurt with sliced strawberries soaked in sugar and lemon…with fat free whipped cream.  240 cals/1 fat vs Strawberry shortcake shake from Baskin Robbins for 1900cals/102 fat grams!!!!

Here is a link to a test to determine if you are naughty or nice!

Time for Santa (scale) to check his list.

The Happy New You Resolution (for a Merrier Christmas) Challenge monthly weigh in is on Monday, the 3oth…by 12:00 noon–I will post it on the next day!   We are teaming together for support and encouragement with a common long term goal to lose as much weight as we can BEFORE New Year’s.

Our first couple of weeks of the challenge, we lost over 70lbs as a team.  what will the number be this time?  The Santa scale wants to know…have you been Nice…or Naughty?

Below is the list of the participants I have so far!

“Oh sporty bra, oh sporty bra,
You keep my girls from hitting my jaw,
You are so tight, I cannot breathe,
You are so firm, no jiggles to see.
Oh sporty bra, oh sporty bra,
I was could breathe, I would be in awe!!
Sung to the tune of “Oh Tannenbaum”

(to the tune of ‘Jingle Bells’)Dashing down the lane
There will be no more pain,
No more sudden stops
Caused by booby flops.I got a brand new bra
The kind that holds you snug.
Keeps the girls in place
And no dang straps to tug.Oh,Jiggle Boobs
Jiggle Boobs
Jiggle all the way
Oh what fun it is to run
With you safely tucked away.There’s another version for guys re: athletic supporters and jiggle ba… well, that’s for another post. 

Jammie   New size shopping Trip!!
(tune of jingle bells)Dashing through the mall
On a new size shopping trip
Over the racks we go
Laughing all the way
Skinny now we feel
Making my spirits bright
Oh what fun it is to say “oh that’s just way too big”Down a size, Down a size, Down a size todayOh how fun it is to shop
On a new size shopping trip!!
 sandy  T’was the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.In my red satin nightie
I crept down the stairs
Looking for solice
In the form of eclairs.I knew it was wrong,
I tried to hold back
But there, on the shelf
Was that white paper sack!I flew through the air
Like a bird on the wing.
I could smell those eclaires,
I heard angels sing. Just as I reached out my trembling hand,
What did my wondering eyes see?
A heavenly band
Of BuddySlim buddies, all looking at me. I stopped in mid-flight
And dropped to the floor.
Thank God for my buddies,
They saved me once more! LINDA  Old Christmas song:Merry Christmas to me
I am bigger than the tree
I’m not very fun
away from me the scales runNew Christmas song:Merry Christmas to me
We have such a large tree
When I stand in front of it
You can see that it’s litMerry Christmas to me
How happy I can be
There is way less of me
for all to see  Sabine  

Fudge brownies were stored in the freezer with care in hopes that my thighs would forget they were there.

While Mama in her girdle and I in chin straps had just settled down to sugar-borne naps.

When out in the pantry there arose such a clatter I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the kitchen I flew like a flash tore open the icebox then threw up the sash.

The marshmallow look of the new-fallen snow sent thoughts of a binge to my body below.

When what to my wandering eyes should appear: a marzipan Santa with eight chocolate reindeer!

That huge chunk of candy so luscious and slick I knew in a second that I’d wind up sick.

The sweet-coated Santa, those sugared reindeer I closed my eyes tightly but still I could hear; On Pritzker, on Stillman, on weak one, on TOPS a Weight Watcher dropout from sugar detox.

From the top of the scales to the top of the hall now dash away pounds now dash away all. Dressed up in Lane Bryant from my head to nightdress my clothes were all bulging from too much excess. My droll little mouth and my round little belly they shook when I laughed like a bowl full of jelly. I spoke not a word but went straight to my work ate all of the candy then turned with a jerk.And laying a finger beside my heartburn I gave a quick nod toward the bedroom I turned. I eased into bed, to the heavens I cry if temptation’s removed I’ll get thin by and by.And I mumbled again as I turned for the night in the morning I’ll starve . . . ’til I take that first bite.

All I want for Christmas…

Gee, if I could only get to onderland,
Then I would have a “Merrier Christmas.” 

All I have to do is learn to jog,

To write my blog , and not forget to log,

Gee, then I know I WILL get to onderland,
And I will have a “Merrier Christmas.”
