Thirty-One days hath December. And for all intents and purposes this is the first day of December since it’s Monday and Thanksgiving is over and today is really just hanging here.

So welcome to December. There be diet minefields here – aye? The great thing about minefields is that if you know where the bombs are hidden you can step around them. Here’s a map of the booby traps of which we are aware.

November 30 – You are safe. You’re full of Turkey and remorse so you’ll be good as gold today and probably most of the week.

December 4-6  - Danger weekend ahead. You may have a holiday party and think oh, “It’s only one night – give me that nog.” Hungry Girl tweeted the calories in the average glass of nog. And it was frightening. Look.

December 7-11 – This week is nuclear. Every dang day expect some well meaning co-worker to bring a frosted cookie bomb. They’ll also be super nice and bully you to eating two, and since you are super-duper nice you’ll take three. Remember this is a frosted cookie BOMB. It is designed to detonate your diet. Step around.. STEP AROUND!

And don’t forget if you’re on Twitter – follow us! LaughitOff and CalamityRobin will be Tweeting you through the holiday diet minefield every day – heck every hour some days.

To be continued….

P.S. We’re re-tooling our blog design for the next few weeks. Please enjoy our blast from the past look while we cook up something tasty looking. (We hope.)
